The Web is obsolete...Time for a New Slate Approach
by guyfrom2006 June 28, 2007 4:59 AM PDT
We already have ATMS, VPNs, Airline Reservation Systems, etc that do a far better job a securing information than the WEB.

That calls for a completely fresh approach towards solving data and application security of online applications.

Just because a few large companies have invested in the Web Platform does not mean users have to continue using obsolete stuff.

Move over Web, welcome the Alternative....

I see one round the corner...maybe 2008 and it called NetAlter

What Web?
by jack1260 June 28, 2007 9:24 AM PDT
Internet security is simple. Hardware reset. There is no logical software firewall. THere is a real wall called, "OFF."

The cell phone is rapidly burning permanent, read-only memory chips from the different internet software applications as we communicate (which is the original reason that Honeywell, IBM, and others created software, that is to logically conclude an application with finished hardware) and I am not sure if the world wide web will be good for much more than using cell phones and pods (designer hardware.) And the occasional laptop or desktop computer may fit in for a while, in the near future, but the thrill is gone.

Nothing is "totally" secure.

Nice ad though
THE BOTTOM LINE
by n3td3v June 28, 2007 10:49 AM PDT
the information security director for Yahoo wants MSN and Google to share intelligence on hackers sending in information that Yahoo should be aware of, and Yahoo want MSN, Google to share bugs reported to them that may be a new unseen before attack vector that would be important for Yahoo to know. The problem is a lot of the time companies keep security information within the company if details of a hack on their network hasn't already leaked out to the media. In short, Yahoo's director of information security is paranoid that they aren't being told everything they feel they should know, even though the company Yahoo has off the record contacts within both MSN and Google, yet the information security director for Yahoo would like more official channels of intelligence setup to share information on cutting edge hacks and hacker groups alike with a vested interest in Yahoo-like websites and their applications.
