I am a PC

I must admit I'm not a big Apple fan. Not the city they named twice but the rival to Microsoft. For a long time Apple has been perceived and marketed to be the hip alternative to Microsoft, Steve Job's Rebel Alliance to Bill Gate's Evil Empire (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYecfV3ubP8). Apple's marketing infers that they are for the free thinker...

Our news story here, and good analysis by Finextra Community members here. Alain says the case is due to be heard in April this year and wanted to answer some of t...

EU Payment Services Directive

The UK Government is putting before Parliament regulations that will lead to legislation due to be enforced on the 2nd March 2009. This should breathe life into the PSD after a particularly difficult and hazardous pregnancy as banks and other vested interests having been battling away to try and ensure their businesses are protected. The PSD we ha...

The Five Biggest Security Threats Facing Businesses Today

Robert Siciliano 2/12/2 Millennials, the next generation of technology savvy workers are coming to a cubicle near you. They are a generation of technogeeks that dont know they are techno or geeks. I had a rattle. They had a PS2. This generation knows enough to fix it and enough to break it. They are the best thing and the worst thing to happen to

Shiney Apple people...

I stumbled across this video today which I think perfectly encapsulates the Apple philosophy. Nice to see cutting edge design taken beyond even the iPhone. Now if you'll excuse me I have to pop to the Apple store to stare lovingly at the products while I queue for the genius bar..... At least I don't have to worry about viruses....

Managing risk, and the Select Committee

On February 11, 2009 the Treasury Select Committee interviewed five senior practitioners of the banking industry. This followed on after several days of interviews with similar figures from other banks, all active in the UK. The evidence was interesting as it highlighted how little science there is in the ways risks and exposures are managed. Compl...

You can't push shit uphill!

So ... we have ourselves a load of bankers (Is the collective term a "wunch"?) who are all very sorry about the fine mess they have got us all in to. Perhaps they didn't know what was going on. Perhaps no one had the decency to tell them they were all heading for the cliff top. Perhaps they had more pressing things to think about. M

Surely, there are now more willing victims and potential criminals. For the past month, I have been get...

Malicious insider attacks to rise. McAfee has a warning

The world's biggest software maker has warned companies to expect an increase in "insider" security attacks by disgruntled, laid-off workers. With millions losing their jobs there are a plethora of opportunities for insiders to upload data to a remote rogue server or to plug in an iPod, thumbdrive or other external source and steal cli

The curious case of Paul Moore and HBOS

The FT helpfully printed the full Paul Moore memo in today's paper here. To be honest his claim that he was replaced by a manager, at the approval of the CEO, with no previous risk management experience does not in the least bit surprise me. In my experience for every hard working, dilligent and compenent risk manager working inside banks over the...
