"Sharing information about data breaches with the government and fellow corporations is the right thing to do, isn't it?

"At least one in four IT security staff use their privileged login rights to look at confidential information, a survey has revealed.More than a quarter of the 300 IT professionals polled in the latest annual password survey by identity management firm Lieberman Software said they could not resist peeking at redundancy lists, payroll information and other sensitive data including, for example, Christmas bonus details."

Federal Computer Week, December 2011

Kevin Franks — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 20:37:34 GMT

"Hackers often exploit vulnerabilities in these two areas to breach an organization’s systems and networks. But despite the dramatic spike in data breaches over the past year, senior management in many organizations fails to understand the basics of IT security, said Philip Lieberman, president and CEO of Lieberman Software, a security management company that conducted the survey."

Slashdot, December 2011

Kevin Franks — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 16:49:07 GMT

"IT security staff will be some of the most informed people at the office Christmas party this year. A full 26 per cent of them admit to using their privileged log in rights to look at confidential information they should not have had access to in the first place. It has proved just too tempting, and maybe just human nature, for them to rifle through redundancy lists, payroll information and other sensitive data including, for example, other people's Christmas bonus details."

SC Magazine UK, December 2011

But Phil Lieberman of privileged identity management vendor Lieberman Software says there is a big Achilles heel in that method."So essentially you understand where to put the locks after you put the cameras up after they've broken in? The assumptions they're making are just wrong," he says. "In privileged identity, there are two classes of identity: There are those that are named and then those that are generic accounts."

"Lieberman Software recently surveyed more than 300 IT professionals and found a fundamental lack of IT security awareness in enterprises, particularly in the areas of password control and privileged logins — potentially paving the way for a wave of data breaches in 2012."

"AT&T has absorbed its losses, refunding customers for the fraudulent charges. That's unusual in a PBX-hacking case, Lieberman Software CEO Phil Lieberman said in an interview with Ars Technica—usually the customers get stuck with the bill for their poor PBX security, and the telecommunications providers rarely warn them of strange billing patterns. (Lieberman Software provides security software to a number of companies in the telecommunications business.)"

Philip Lieberman, CEO and president of Lieberman Software, has put the boot into RSA over what he calls lack of investment in its R&D that could have prevented the breach of its defences in March this year. Since then RSA, the security division of EMC, has acknowledged that information stolen from its network was used to carry out a cyber attack against Lockheed Martin, which means it needs to replace all of the 40 million SecurID hardware tokens in existence.

SC Magazine, June 2011

Kevin Franks — Wed, 08 Jun 2011 14:39:01 GMT

Philip Lieberman, president and CEO of Lieberman Software, said that the cost is not just bad news for RSA, but it paints the rest of the IT security industry in a bad light. He said: “I put the fault squarely on the senior management of EMC for treating the SecurID division as a cash cow that received little to no investment after RSA was acquired by EMC."

"Phil Lieberman was concerned about issues of identity management where should a user take advantage of an application from one cloud provider and need to link this into an application from a second cloud provider, how would their identity be properly passed on and perhaps even to a third and fourth cloud.

While some progress has been made towards improving cloud security, many security obstacles remain.
