OWASP Coverage? (Software Industry Analysis)

Tue, 12 Aug 2008 17:28:00 GMT

In a comment to an unrelated post, James McGovern asks "What would it take for an industry analyst to provide comprehensive coverage via blog entries on the work that OWASP is doing?" I can't speak for anyone else, but here's my answer. I might provide occasional comments about OWASP without any special motivation, but before I go to the trouble to provide comprehensive coverage about...

The Network Firewall is a Consensual Hallucination (1 Raindrop)

Fri, 18 Jul 2008 16:04:34 GMT

James McGovern asks why we don't see enterprisey folks focusing on SOA *and* security? Well there are a lot of reasons here, but lets look at some facts. Most enterprisey folks look at security in binary terms - inside the firewall or outside the firewall. When a transaction is "inside the firewall" they can do silly things like load all their transaction on to something like MQ Series...

SOA governance dos and don’ts …or maybe not (Real World SOA)

Mon, 23 Jun 2008 13:01:43 GMT

I had a few reactions to my SOA governance dos and don'ts post of last week. And, for the first time, I agree with them. :-) Perhaps the title should have been "Looking at SOA governance technology." Fist, I saw this from James McGovern. "Todd Biske keeps Dave Linthicum honest regarding SOA Governance. Way too many industry analysts view SOA through the lens of products and refuse to...

Sun in Microsoft's Rearview Mirror on Software Security (1 Raindrop)

Fri, 09 May 2008 15:14:50 GMT

James McGovern muses: Good to run across Sun employees such as Gerald at OWASP chapter meetings. Hopefully for the next event, he can figure out how to bring down a dozen or so folks from Sun labs. After all, they probably understand the need for writing secure code more than the Microsoft crowd. This makes me wonder if Pat Patterson has ever attended OWASP meetings on his side of town?...

Tue, 25 Mar 2008 16:46:55 GMT

In order to isolate Colombia’s pro-American, democratically-elected government, Massachusetts Congressman James McGovern sent what commentators have likened to ”love letters” to a bloodthirsty Colombian terrorist group, FARC, that smuggles drugs and espouses a Marxist ideology. “Mr. McGovern has been working with an American go-between, who has been offering the rebels help in...

James McGovern has been beating the XACML drum for a long time. Jackson Shaw opines the reason we don't see many vendors supporting XACML is: none of the usual suspects have products in this area: Sun, Microsoft, Novell.
