Kevin Mitnick was eager to participate in a social-engineering contest at the Defcon hacker conference in Las Vegas last weekend and was told he would target Microsoft in the event.
He figured it would be fun to show off his schmoozing skills, which he so easily used to trick employees at tech companies in the 1990s into handing over passwords and other sensitive information, ultimately landing him in jail. |

Are security threats against small and midsize organizations increasing, are these organizations getting savvier about their security, or perhaps both?
The question is relevant because, increasingly, small and midsize organizations appear to be using security log management software -- in its more advanced form, also known as security information and event management (SIEM) software -- not just to demonstrate compliance after the fact with regulations, but also as real-time warning consoles for preventing or detecting in-progress attacks or for pursuing forensic analysis. |
