- CA is expected to extend identity management to Salesforce.com’s Sales Cloud 2 application.
- Sourcefire, in partnership with Immunet, has announced a free, cloud-based version of the ClamAV antivirus. Interestingly, it mentions that it will “link together a user’s network of friends” to help uncover new threats. Social networking meets security?
- US cybersecurity czar Howard Schmidt unveiled parts of the federal government’s plan to defend the network, circa the end of the Bush era. Of note: it included discussion of the government’s role in monitoring critical private networks like the phone system or the electric grid.
- A talk on Microsoft security exploits was mysteriously dropped from the conference program with no explanation. Microsoft’s offering a “no comment” on what prompted the change.
