A Condensed Guide to the Security Fails of 2009

The past several weeks I have been posting a series I called the Security Fails of 2009.  It was designed to be a look at stories that illustrated the challenges faced in IT security as well as some of the broader issues shaping the industry. 

For your convenience, here is a recap with links:

12/10 – The Marine One Breach – illustrates the threats created by unauthorized applications.

12/14 – The Strange Case of the Missing Cyber Czar – a look at the seven months that had passed since the announcement of the position in May.  Obviously the position has been subsequently filled.  Coincidence?

12/16 – Conficker Becomes a Media Darling.

12/18 – Adobe Takes the Exploit Crown from Microsoft.

12/21 – The Heartland Payment Systems Breach – Lessons learned form the largest breach of customer data to-date.
