In this episode of the eIQcast, Mike Rothman dives into the nuances of file integrity monitoring and why it's an important aspect of both security and compliance.

As noted in the previous post on eIQviews, the results of spring surveys show that security spending is down. While that's not exactly a surprise, it puts security managers in a pickle.

Since Your Working Toward PCI Compliance, Why Not Try to Make Your Enterprise Secure, too?

As recently discussed in a post by Mike Rothman, a Visa executive this week sought to clarify a company claim that no PCI-compliant company has suffered a data breach.

It looks like 2009 maybe finally be the year of HIPAA. For those of you in the business for a long time, HIPAA was big news back in the early part of this decade (2001-2004), but due to a lack of enforcement, the regulation has not been top of mind for years, in the wake of Sarbanes-Oxley and PCI. But that seems to be changing. Re...
As noted in an earlier post on this blog, news surfaced this week of credit card theft at a payment processing firm.

More importantly, Mike talks ab...
In this episode, John Linkous and Mike Rothman drill deep into the COSO/COBIT framework. Why do you care? Well a good part of the acceptable practices of little regulations like Sarbanes-Oxley and FISMA are directly related to COBIT. Thus, if you have to worry about those regulations, you should be familiar with COBIT. Check it out....
In the third episode of the eIQcast, John and Mike tackle the concept of compliance automation. What exactly are you automating?
