September 10, 3:00 a.m. PDT Introducing the 2007 InfoWorld Bossies Not too long ago, open source meant starving developers; scant documentation; an ugly, outdated Web site; and software that lived in perpetual beta.

June 25, 4:33 a.m. PDT The struggle to protect enterprise data Long ago, when businesses kept sensitive information locked away in file cabinets and safes, it was relatively cheap and easy to store valuable data and control who had access to it.

March 16, 5:13 a.m. PST CSG-2500 stands firm against malware Not too long ago, all a network admin had to do to ensure that the network was “clean” was to schedule a weekly virus scan and confirm the virus signatures were up to date.

This idea, of course, is a tough one to “prove,” but we can see examples of it all around us. Just look at the IT security industry, where something akin to drastic environmental change is happening right now: Organized cybercrime groups are punching truck-size holes in enterprise security defenses as regulators, shareholders, and attorneys general are putting pressure on companies to lock down sensitive data. The pressure for change will make this week’s RSA Security Conference in San Francisco less an industry shindig than a live experiment in evolutionary biology. So walk quietly and keep your field glasses handy to spot some exotic new species in these areas: February 5, 3:00 a.m. PST NAC smorgasbord: Four ways to police the network In this age of worms, zombies, and botnets, mobile computers themselves are a kind of Trojan horse.

However, the warning was heavily qualified, with DHS calling the threat “more aspirational than operational.” Financial firms downplayed the danger, too.

That’s the phrase in baseball when a batter points his or her bat to a section of the park, then proceeds to hit a home run to that very spot.

Like when I asked the InfoWorld editors if I could go to Barcelona to attend the Microsoft IT Forum that’s going on there right now. At first, it felt good to give them some stress relief, but then they just kept chuckling until I had no choice but to get steamed. I mean, you’ve got to maintain their respect because the InfoWorld office is a lot like Oz -- the TV show, not the land created by L. Frank Baum. So on my way out of the office, I smacked the mail guy around a little. With his own shoes. Should restore the proper level of fear.
