Proactively Managing Security RiskThe current approach to security is based on perimeter defense and relies on firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and intrusion prevention systems. However, the increasing speed at which new exploits and attacks are being devised mandates a new layer of security that provides consistent protection rather than perpetually lagging behind the morphing tricks of hackers. 2007-11-07 http://www.securityfocus.com/infocus/1896
Aspect-Oriented Programming and SecurityAspect-oriented programming (AOP) is a paradigm that is quickly gaining traction in the development world. While several others have tied AOP to security, I aspire to raise awareness amongst my information security colleagues that AOP can have a substantially beneficial impact on application security. 2007-10-16 http://www.securityfocus.com/infocus/1895
