High performance for the masses

| The first thing we were concerned with, was
| whatâs out there in terms of technology? As we
| can see in the figure, the results highlighted
| the high degree of confidence that traditional
| enterprise server operating systems hold as
| high-performance work horses. UNIX, Linux and
| z/OS are all seen positively for the majority
| of requirements, high-performance or otherwise.

Wanted: Defense Against Online Bank Fraud
,----[ Quote ]
| Accessing your bank account through a computer
| that isn't used for anything elseâno email or
| Web surfingâand isn't connected to the local
| network offers strong protection, says William
| Nelson, president of the Financial Services
| Information Sharing and Analysis Center, an
| industry group that collects and shares threat
| data.
|
| Another option is to use an obscure computer
| operating system such as Ubuntu or Web browser
| such as Opera because attackers rarely create
| malware for them, security experts say.
