Most organizations already have started to use virtualization technology or cloud computing. Yet some still may be reluctant to move their mission-critical-tier-1 - applications to these relatively new environments. While the flexibility and cost benefits of virtualization are widely accepted, questions linger on how to adapt to new and different risks.

Great Resource no Cloud computing and a bit more technical.

Takes a different perspective about cloud services and how to incorporate them.

Fun article about the cyber side of the 2008 conflict, good read.

This article is about an intelligent knife that allows surgeons to minimize bleeding during operations but also has a mass spectrometer that analyzes chemicals when cutting. The knife has the potential to reduce tumor recurrence.

I had read this article on the Internet and found this an amazing use of the technology. The ability to determine if an entire tumor is removed at the time it's being done eliminates risk for the patient and waiting for lab results.

Interesting article on how a hospitals phone network was hacked by someone using VOIP who then performed a DOS attack.

This was an interesting article. I wish it explained how the attack was carried out. I am surprised that firewalls would not be a part of VOIP installation for large institutions. The treat has always been there. I am guessing that somebody cut costs up front and paid for it later. Maybe the attacker sold them the firewalls?

This is a good article. I though the FBI was smart in having IT people trained to be agents as apposed to the reverse.

Remember our discussion about DNS being tough to compromise? :D
