Harry Potter fans will immediately recognize Fawkes as the name of Dumbledore's pet phoenix. When our Director of Product Management, Nicole Pauls, suggested Fawkes as our TriGeo SIM Version 5.0 project codename we were quick to approve - and appreciate the significance.

From TriGeo with Love: TriGeo SIM Version 5.0
14. February 2010
We're not shy about stating flatly that TriGeo builds products for the midmarket or professing our love for this market. That makes Valentine's day the perfect opportunity to begin a new series of blog posts - "High Five - TriGeo 5.0".

Grandma Got Hacked for Christmas
4. January 2010
Nothing quite says "Happy Holidays" like discovering that a family member's bank account has been hacked. Everyone believes that some malware found its way to an unprotected system, spotted the on-line banking activity, captured the credentials and dutifully transmitted them or awaited further instructions from whoever had control of this machine. What's interesting about this case is that the bank has asked for the hard drive of the compromised PC. What would you do?

16. November 2009
Joshua Corman, research director for enterprise security at The 451 Group, renewed debate recently on the role that PCI plays in network security in an article featured in CSO Magazine. The article contains a number of Corman quotes from a recent 451 Group client conference. From the excerpts, it's clear that the Corman is trying to sound the alarm, and it may be falling on deaf ears.

9. November 2009
While some might consider the title a bit strong - it’s interesting that for the second time this year, we find ourselves offering a Competitive Upgrade Program. First, it was the now defunct High Tower software and then came this week’s possible demise of Cisco MARS.

14. August 2009
Call it Ilomo, Clampi, Rscan, or Ligats—whatever you call it, it’s getting a fair share of the security spotlight due to recent discussions at Black Hat. So what is Ilomo? Ilomo is essentially an “old” botnet Trojan dating back to 2007, which primarily targets the banking industry...

1. April 2009
While Conficker uses a variety of methods to reach new heights of evil, the methods themselves are not new. As with most viruses and worms, the process for escalating privileges, exploiting hosts, and gaining unauthorized access remains much the same: exploit a weakness, stop the services that may prevent the nefarious deed, and then spread the love via email, network shares, peer to peer communications, or removable devices.

3. February 2009
I yelled that to a crowd of over 300 at last year’s Gartner MidSize Enterprise Summit while I was accepting an award on behalf of TriGeo for “Best of Show” – where, by the way, we beat out HP. At conferences like the Gartner MidSize Enterprise Summit and CIO Decisions, I get the pleasure of spending a lot of time with midmarket executives who always voice their frustrations with vendors who simply, “don’t get them.”

Slow And Silent Targeted Attacks On the Rise
3. February 2009
This headline from a recent Dark Reading article is important. The reality is that stealing identity and credit card data is big business. Thieves aren't interested in attracting attention. Their goal is simple – steal as much money as they can without being detected. Unfortunately, the article suggests that the solution for dealing with this threat is keeping log data for longer periods of time to provide a broader set of historical data for analysis.

INDUSTRY SHAKEUP
29. January 2009
High Tower Software was the first to fall, closing their doors in November. The company chose to not provide any notice to customers -- before or after it ceased operations. How long will the VC’s continue to fund companies with products that customers don’t want?
