Vista will force need for network forensics

It is an understandable yet curious characteristic of the information security space that the current 'big thing' relates not to the latest big threat, but to the newest threat.

The column inches dedicated to mobile malware bear little relation to the threat posed. All IT security personnel are aware of the reality of this situation, which is that the risk posed by internal threats has always outweighed the risk from external threats. Employee fraud, sloppy exposure of passwords and malicious damage from within the security perimeter cost businesses millions more every year than losses from viruses or spyware.
