Hackers: How They Get In, How They Got In

Posted by David Vellante in Security, Wikibon on August 23, 2010


The news of Intel acquisition of McAfee signals a change in how leaders in the technology infrastructure space see the role of security. The security model is moving from the client (PC’s, laptop’s etc) to a network-based model, where virtual desktops and mobile clients are secured in the cloud.   

Intel is threatened when the number of logical machines start to outpace physical machines. As a result, Intel has to branch into new areas for its business and the cloud is a key priority. The cloud will not only be powered by tons of microprocessors, but think about Intel ‘virtual inside’ where security is at the epicenter of cloud computing.

    This is the ultimate impact with a tool that must be used for good.

    I fear I will never make another online transaction ever again! Hackers can be dangerous for any business, but I can see how they could, in the near future, direct their focus on business reporting software.
