| One of the most recent articles is about an incident with a major botnet.

| which brought roughly 100,000 Windows machines to their knees in bluescreen
| madness.

Securing your organisation with open source
,----[ Quote ]
| While backup and recovery solutions are considered paramount in most
| organisations, they are possibly one of the most overlooked procedures in
| company security policies, mainly because they seem to try to achieve the
| opposite.
|
| Security demands strong encryption and overall policy control over employee
| and enterprise-wide information, while backup software tries to simplify the
| data centre recovery process regardless of platform, location and user,
| anywhere on the network.
