What the Gulf Oil Spill can teach CIOs about disasters
By Max Huang
The massive amount of crude heading to the Gulf Coast is currently being met by an army of ships, clean-up
vehicles and tens of thousands of people who are collecting and cleaning hundreds of miles of beaches. A
unified command structure that is coordinating efforts of local, state and federal agencies alongside
commercial assets is now in place, sifting and transmitting tons of vital information in near real time, to deploy
resources where they can be most effective.

The Growing Problem of Cyber Bullying
By Max Huang
While schools can’t watch students around the clock, they can at least ensure their networks, just like their play grounds, are safe for kids. Protecting against these kinds of attacks is arguably more critical for educational institutions than ensuring personal data is not compromised, for the negative impact of cyber bullying can have far greater implications. Take 15-year old Phoebe Prince for example. The Massachusetts teenager committed suicide last January after being the recipient of a continuous barrage of mean online messages and emails.

Managers of IT security technology are as important as the products
By Max Huang
Right about now, CIOs are finalizing budgets for 2010, and one of the main issues will be how to prepare for the next security threat. This is always a challenge regardless of the year; it's akin to looking into a crystal ball and trying to counter some ill-defined potential adversary that is largely out of an organization's direct control.
However, that is most likely not where a company's biggest vulnerability lies. For all the tools and solutions won't matter if the people in charge of implementing and monitoring those systems don't have the resources to manage them.

November 05, 2009 | Max Huang, Founder and President of O2Security
I must admit I’m as much to blame here as anyone. After all, I’m the head of a company that prides itself on
offering security appliances that will halt any nefarious intrusion to an organization’s IT network.
What often gets lost in the process, however, is is dealing with indirect security and access issues that can
bring down a system without firing a single cyber attack.

Solution Offers An Addendum To Disaster Recovery
Even as companies employ disaster recovery solutions to protect themselves from disastrous company-wide data loss, the issue remains that in the event of a disaster or even a simple disruption in service, work may need to be done remotely. And if mission-critical IT staff aren’t available to work in person, companies may find themselves in need of additional licenses for secure remote access.
WebCPA
By Max Huang
The threats facing CPAs can occur on a near daily basis, and vary in size and scale. While the most common forms include viruses, spam and spyware strikes, cyber attacks can also include identity theft that can then be used to lure clients into divulging sensitive information for criminal purposes.

Review: 02 Micro's SifoWorks U210 Enters The UTM Space
In the unified threat management (UTM) business, quite a number of devices have commoditized parts -- differing UTMs sharing the same innards.
Which is why O2 Micro's approach to their UTM is unique. They actually manufacture their UTMs, from the semiconductor on up. The performance of the device seems to be hearty; CPU utilization did not register anytime during testing over 7percent. The vendor places an emphasis on performance, eschewing traditional methods of processing data -- thereby freeing up time and processes without impacting quality of service.
