“We could not possibly replicate Counterpane’s service ourselves. We couldn’t staff it. And even if we could, we would not get the benefits of Counterpane’s global view. They watch security incidents throughout the globe, and we benefit from that.”

Dec 1 2003 Fighting the Worms of Mass Destruction
ChinaDaily.com
When Microsoft released its latest monthly batch of software patches on November 11th, it included one designed to repair a previously unknown flaw in Windows 2000. Such an event often acts as a tip-off to the writers of computer worms and viruses, who know that new patches are never applied very widely or very quickly. It is possible that this new flaw could herald a series of computer failures at least as damaging as those seen earlier in the year.

Nov 14 2003 In Computer Security, New Reason to Squirm
ContraCostaTimes.com
Like prison wardens marveling at an escapee's spoon-dug tunnel, computer-security professionals acknowledge grudging admiration for the author of SoBig.F, the virus that deluged e-mail in boxes earlier this year. At the epidemic's peak in mid-August, according to the antivirus company Central Command, SoBig.F-related e-mail messages accounted for 73 percent of e-mail traffic worldwide, making it history's most aggressive online contagion.

Oct 21 2003 Terror Profiles by Computers Are Ineffective
Newsday
op ed by Bruce Schneier
Identifiable future terrorists are rare, and innocents are common. No matter what patterns you're looking for, far more innocents will match the patterns than terrorists because innocents vastly outnumber terrorists.
Oct 13 2003 US Air Travel Security System in for $105 Million Upgrade
Times Picayune

Oct 9 2003 WAN Access Providers Poised to Reap Benefits of Security Services Growth
TMCnet
Any company that has some type of WAN access needs security. However, while this group of service providers has the best reach to customers, they also tend to have the least expertise on security. The most security-savvy of the competing security service providers are the security niche players, vendors like, Counterpane, Guardent, and Symantec, which have built their reputation solely on their ability to provide top-level security. The start-up mentality for many of the niche players, has allowed them to quickly adapt to market changes, and provide services for new types of security equipment faster than any other type of managed security service provider.

Aug 19 2003 Microsoft Weighs Automatic Security Updates as a Default
Washington Post
Microsoft executives, digging out from the aftermath of an unwelcome Internet worm that wriggled into 500,000 of its customers' computers last week, say that it is time to consider making software updates automatic for home users of the Windows operating system. "I have always been a fierce enemy of the Microsoft update feature, because I just don't like the idea of someone else -- particularly Microsoft -- controlling my system," said Bruce Schneier, co-founder of Counterpane Internet Security Inc. "Now, I think it's great, because it gets the updates out to the non-technically savvy masses, and that's the majority of Internet users. Security is a trade-off, to be sure, but this is one trade-off that's worthwhile."
Aug 21 2003 In Frayed Networks, Common Threads
The New York Times
Like the World War I railroad meltdown in 1917, last week's blackout was vast precisely because of the interconnectedness that the network was meant to exploit and foster. Taken together, the blackout and the MSBlast worm underscore a far-reaching challenge in managing modern technological societies. "All of these events demonstrate that network effects, which are generally good in most situations, can go the other way," said Bruce Schneier, chief technical officer at Counterpane Internet Security in Cupertino, Calif., and author of "Beyond Fear: Thinking Sensibly About Security in an Uncertain World" (Copernicus Books, 2003). "Networks are meant to connect disparate systems, but as they become larger, now you can have power outages that affect half the country, Internet outages, and broader sorts of problems."
Aug 22 2003 E-mail worm Sobig.F began on porn newsgroup - Expert
Reuters
The FBI subpoenaed an Arizona Internet service provider to trace the culprit behind a fast-spreading e-mail virus that security experts said may have first been posted to an adult pictures Internet site. "We've seen multistage attacks before, but this is probably the most effective example of that," said Bruce Schneier, chief technology officer of Counterpane Internet Security. "What can a million computers do if they're told to? Anything."
Aug 23 2003 Hackers Steal 13,000 Credit Card Numbers; Navy Says No Fraud Has Been Noticed
Washington Post
The Navy has canceled 13,000 credit cards used for government expenses after discovering that hackers had downloaded card numbers and billing records, Defense Department officials said. "You'd think that the military would have some of the best systems in place," said Doug Howard, vice president of strategy and product development for Counterpane Internet Security Inc. "But often you'll find that the administrative networks are segmented from the core of the Department of Defense and that maybe they don't provide as much as security as some of the core networks"
Aug 24 2003 Viruses will keep slipping in until Microsoft secures Windows
The Star-Ledger
Don't blame the Internet for last week's maddening virus attacks. While some minor tweaks to the global network are possible, hackers will keep wreaking havoc until consumers press Microsoft and other vendors to design safer software, security experts say. Another prominent security guru took a dimmer view. Only lawsuits will prod software makers to do better, said Bruce Schneier of Counterpane Internet Security Inc. in California, where his e-mail filter was catching 1,000 Sobig e-mails per day last week. "Expect this to get worse for the foreseeable future," Schneier said.
Aug 24 2003 Should software security bugs be publicized?
The Dallas Morning News
"Bugs in code are not like the weather, but Microsoft would have you believe that they are; that they just happen," said Bruce Schneier of Counterpane.com. "They are either mistakes in design or development. Microsoft doesn't want to make a mistake. When someone discovers one, it makes them look really bad." But Schneier insists that full disclosure is still the best alternative. "What we've learned during the past eight or so years is that full disclosure helps much more than it hurts," he said. "Since full disclosure has become the norm, the computer industry has transformed itself from a group of companies that ignores security and belittles vulnerabilities into one that fixes vulnerabilities as quickly as possible."
Aug 16 2003 Computer Worm Trouble Appears to be Waning
San Jose Mercury News
"The last report I saw, it was all quiet on the Western front," said Bruce Schneier, founder of Counterpane Internet Security in Cupertino. "I think it's going to fizzle. Microsoft has pulled itself off the path of the target, so it's not going to get nailed."
Aug 13 2003 Computer Infection Snarls Global Networks
Associated Press (AP)
But to expect home users to keep their systems current is unreasonable, said Bruce Schneier, chief technology officer with Counterpane Internet Security Inc. He blames software developers for writing bad software that constantly need "critical" patches. "My mother will never install the patch until I come visit," he said. "I couldn't even call her and walk her through it. The industry is wrong to expect her to do it. The fact that she sends me e-mail is incredible enough."

Aug 8 2003 Re-Engineering Redux
CIO Insight
"Your security strategy has got to be about the people in the boardroom as much as the programmers in the IT shop, as well as the manager on the road with a company laptop. If we're not thinking this way about how we do business now, then security problems are going to rise up and bite us. Companies simply can't afford not to know what their most important security threats are and what their policies are for dealing with them, at every level of the corporation." Says security expert Bruce Schneier, author, cryptographer and CTO of Counterpane Internet Security Inc: "Without a more intelligent approach to security, we're making ourselves sitting ducks and our customers fools."
Jul 16 2003 Counterpane Says Sales Up 47% in Q2
ComputerWire News
Counterpane Internet Security Inc, a provider of managed security services, yesterday said it saw sales sequentially increase 47% in the second quarter, with most of the growth in financial services accounts. The privately held company does not disclose revenue figures. A spokesperson said the company is not yet profitable. In January, when the company received $20m funding, it said it saw 30% quarter-on-quarter sales growth every quarter last year. Counterpane said 60% of its new sales were to financial services organizations, with government making up 15% of new business and media and healthcare verticals 11% each. Over a quarter of sales were outside the US.
Jul 21 2003 Cyber Eye: Could Encrypted Speech Be Threatened?
Government Computer News
When Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) began a statement by protesting that she is second to none in her support for the First Amendment, I wondered whether it was really a the top of her agenda. She made the comment during a hearing of the Select Homeland Security Subcommittee on Cybersecurity, Science, and Research and Development. She questioned security guru Bruce Schneier about whether terrorist plotters could use encryption for confidential communications. Schneier, chief technology officer of Counterpane Internet Security Inc. of Cupertino, Calif., answered that encryption can be used for good or evil like any other tool. He said he didn't believe restricting its use would effectively boost U.S. security.
Jul 26 2003 What Can A Hacker Do With Your Passwords?
CNN
Case closed on a New York man who pled guilty in a computer crime case earlier this month. The man installed spy software on Internet terminals in at least 14 Kinko's stores in New York and recorded more than 150 user names and passwords. He spied on Kinko's customers for over a year and used the information to access online bank accounts. So how trusting or paranoid should we be when using public computers? The book "Beyond Fear, Thinking Sensibly About Security in an Uncertain World" releases in September. Author and security consultant Bruce Schneier joins us now to sort out the story.
Jul 31 2003 Government fails to strike a balance on security, executive says
Government Computer News
Talking with reporters at the Black Hat Briefings computer security conference, security expert Bruce Schneier. described government cybersecurity as "abysmal." The government is doing a poor job of implementing security, both IT and physical, since the Sept. 11 terror attacks, he said. Schneier, founder and chief technology officer of Counterpane Internet Security Inc. of Cupertino, Calif., sees security as a complex balancing act of the interests of a variety of parties. He said most government agencies are "clueless" when it comes to striking the right balance. He was grilled at a recent congressional hearing about the likelihood of criminals or terrorists using technology in planning and committing crimes or attacks. He said that is a misplaced concern.
Jul 22 2003 Why Biometrics Is No Magic Bullet
BusinessWeek Online
This promising ID technology works best in controlled situations -- which are hardly the norm in the real world. In Afghanistan, the U.N. uses an iris-scanning system to identify refugees returning from Pakistan to ensure that they don't double-dip on one-time aid grants. In Pinellas County, Fla., police use facial-recognition technology to record the newly arrested so they can be more easily identified if they're nabbed again. At Counterpane Internet Security in Mountain View, Calif., hand-geometry readers match the hands of people seeking to enter key areas with those on a list of Counterpane employees. All three are examples of relatively successful uses of biometric technologies.

Jul 5 2003 Hackers challenge could be hoax but companies stay on alert
Agence France Presse
Companies around the world are remaining on alert for a threatened wave of cyber attacks on their computers Sunday but many experts say the so-called "Defacer's Challenge" could be a hacker's hoax. Counterpane Internet Security said "it is doubly important to verify that all production and mission-critical servers have the latest vendor-approved security patches and that firewall rules and access lists are in place and properly formatted."

Jul 8 2003 Experts say hacker hype is threat on its own
Reuters
After a widely publicized hacking contest failed to cause as much damage as expected last weekend, computer security experts are advocating a novel response for Internet hackers out for a digital joy ride: ignore them. "It's the boy-who-cried-wolf phenomenon," Bruce Schneier, chief technology officer at network monitoring firm Counterpane Internet Security, said on Monday. Hyping non-threats "dulls people to the real threats."
Jul 14 2003 Hollywood fears a heist: Matter of Definition
U.S. News & World Report
Digital piracy may make the latest pop song easy to come by. But it is making Hollywood play hard to get with the ultimate in home entertainment. Bruce Schneier of Counterpane Internet Security Inc., says that in the end, any efforts to stop computer files from being copied are just stopgaps: "They're all temporary fixes." Digital bits can and will be copied; some expert somewhere will eventually crack any security system, and the hack will spread over the Internet. Maybe the entertainment industry should bank on events, appearances, or advertising, not on digital files, Schneier says. "Sell the experience," he urges, "not the bits."
