BT's Bruce Schneier and Ray Stanton talk security with
ComputerWeekly.com's security blogger David Lacey at Infosecurity
2008.
Ray Stanton is the Global Head of BT's Business Continuity,
Security and Governance Practice. He talks to David Lacey about
security in telephony, solutions for SMEs, security as part of
converged services and his recommendation of a "back to basics"
approach: people, process and technology. He also poses the
question: what have you changed in your company's business
continutiy planning since last year's floods in the UK? And if it's
nothing, why?
Bruce Schneier, Chief Technical
Officer of BT Counterpane and author of
Beyond Fear: Thinking Sensibly About Security in an Uncertain
World, discusses the human and emotional factors
involved with information security, what the US government should
do in the fight against e-crime, and how his belief in humanity's
"resilient capability to muddle through" keeps him optimistic
overall, however pessimistic the outlook might seemwhen judged
against the details of rising security threats.
