QUICK FACTS
=========================================================
1. CIOs Learn Very Little From Security Audits

In the Visa data theft case, much has been made of a
security audit that cleared the clearinghouse that
improperly handled the data. But security experts see audits
rarely shedding much light on what the CIO doesn't already
know.

2. Webroot: Spyware Rampant in the Enterprise

Webroot claims that 80 percent of enterprise computers are
infected with some kind of adware or spyware, despite more
awareness of the danger of these programs.

3. Are Contactless Payment Cards Tickets to Wholesale Fraud?

Contactless systems that let customers wave
a keyfob or credit-card over a reader to make a purchase are
convenient, but the capacity for fraud, especially from
insiders, is mind-boggling, according to Jeff Chasney, CIO
of CKE Restaurants.

4. How Safe Are the New Contactless Payment Systems?

As 7-Eleven, Chase, Visa and others move ahead with
contactless payment systems, testing at Shell Canada raises
questions about read distance that reignites fraud concerns.

5. Security Issues for CIOs

Viruses and spyware are significant threats, but CIOs have a
lot more to worry about than the latest bit of malware. How
about making sure all the official wireless LANs are secure,
let alone the rogues; how about protecting the Web site; how
about, since we're talking about security, keeping employees
from walking off with the most critical information. We
rounded up all our best coverage of security uber-concerns,
in this special report.

6. A Decade Later: Windows 95 Keeps Going ... and Going

Microsoft's own worst enemy for Windows Vista is the kinds
of users who are still running Windows 95. What, if
anything, might convince these die-hards to upgrade?
