This article argues that the security of Internet applications and the network infrastructure should be considered together, as vulnerabilities in one layer led to broken assumptions (and new vectors for attacks) in the other.

We Have Root: Even More Advice from Schneier on Security Read More[In this article, we] seek to complement the myriad security research notes by investigating specific cybersecurity practices within organizations to evaluate where organizations are showing improvement, where they are stagnant, and what may be influencing these changes. Our results confirm that cyber-security continues to receive attention on the surface, but when looking beyond surface-level impressions a surprising lack of progress is being made.
Cybersecurity: Is It Worse than We Think? Read MoreIn this article, we focus on a set of pathological personality traits known as the dark triad. Evidence from recent insider threat cases leads us to believe these traits may correlate with intentions to engage in malicious behavior.23 After discussing insider threats and the dark triad traits, we present results from an empirical study that illustrate the relationship between the dark triad traits and malicious intent. We then discuss the importance of these results and make recommendations for security managers and practitioners based on our findings.
