The U.S. government could be a year away from allowing citizens to use the same authentication credentials to get services from multiple departments and agencies, says Jeremy Grant, who oversees the National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace.

Nearly two weeks since news of Shellshock broke, attacks that are taking advantage of the Bash vulnerabilities are grabbing headlines. But Michael Smith of Akamai warns that the battle against hackers capitalizing on Shellshock could go on for years.

Heartbleed, Shellshock, targeted attacks - the security threats to banking institutions are legion. And there are new banks can get better at detecting these evolving threats, says Solutionary's Jeremy Nichols.

The development of authentication technologies that could replace the password is "nearing a tipping point," but there's still several years of work to do, says Jeremy Grant, who oversees the National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace.

As researchers scramble to learn more about Shellshock and the risks it poses to operating systems, servers and devices, Michael Smith of Akamai explains why not all patches are actually fixing the problem.

In a wide-ranging interview, the acclaimed expert on cybersecurity strategy addresses the cyberthreat posed by ISIS and explains why Congress is unlikely to enact significant cybersecurity legislation this year.

To mitigate the newly discovered Bash bug - AKA Shellshock - which may make millions of systems vulnerable to remote takeover, organizations must take several key steps, says security expert Alan Woodward.

Although malware attacks against POS terminals at retailers have been in the spotlight, banks and credit unions need to be aware of the emerging threat of malware targeting ATMs, say Trustwave's Matthew Jakubowski and Graham Mott of the U.K.'s ATM network.

ATM-related fraud is quickly evolving, says Graham Mott, head of the U.K.'s LINK Scheme and a presenter at the Sept. 23 London Fraud Summit. New malware attacks waged against ATMs prove why information sharing among banking peers is critical.

When it comes to the evolution of machine data, security organizations now can improve protection and the top line. How can they maximize the business benefits? Jean-Francois Roy of Tibco shares tips.
