I'm VP of a company that implements security here in Brazil (SafeCore Network Solutions, if you must know), and I can say from experience that the tallest barrier found when presenting security for our clients is the fact that they don't believe that their "IT professionals" aren't fit for the job. ...

Well Rafael, I can tell you, some companies have a lot of work to do with a small team. When you get to work, you have priorities thought.

Corruption... Hmmmm... Are you corrupt? Have you engaged in corrupt activities? Anyway, if you have not, you may throw the first stone.

A Postcard From Brazil - It's about time! 2002-03-12
TNR - FLN/SC
The magistrates and lawyers in Brazil have to assume their general ignorance of the computer crime environment an ask for help.
I think that is about time to implant some kind of "Brazilian Task Force" to deal with this situation. A team formed by SysAdmins, Network Engineers, ISPs, Government an...

The ICP "law" growned up as a fight between fed...
