12 February 2009 - A report released today by Forrester Research, and commissioned by Adobe, has highlighted the fact that knowledge workers working in companies remain more than a little worried about the security of Web 2.0-based collaborative working systems.

"The Forrester research confirms the findings of research announced at the SchmooCon 2009 conference in Washington this week, which found that security on social networking sites is significantly wanting, despite the take-up of the technology by Internet users," said Michael Callahan, Credant's senior vice president.

41% cite security fears as reason for not shopping on the web

READING, UK –  February 11, 2009 - More than half the UK population still does not shop online, according to a survey of 1,000 consumers undertaken by CyberSource Ltd. Reasons range from simple preference for high street shopping to lack of a computer or internet access, but 41% of people who don’t shop online say an issue is security. Looking at the total sample (including those who do shop online), 66% say they are concerned about the level of risk.

According to survey respondents, the most common source of information about the safety of online shopping is stories in the media, which naturally focus on crimes or losses of credit card information. But consumers also rely on friends and family for advice. About a third of survey respondents say that they or someone they know has been a victim of online credit card fraud.

5^th February 2009 - Fortify Software, the software security assurance specialist, says that the Conservative party is misguided in its criticism of the UK government over its lack of support for open source software.

 "The Conservatives have accused the Government of failing to capitalise on open source software, despite reports from government agencies that have recommended its usage," said Richard Kirk, Fortify’s VP and GM of Europe.

"Our own research, however, has concluded that open source software exposes users to significant and unnecessary business risk, as the security is often overlooked, making users more vulnerable to security breaches.
