In the years I spent running one of IBM's internal audit teams, I developed a methodology for testing organizations to see if they were likely to have problems. At every executive level, you have to be able to trust the people doing the job, but you also need to make sure there are controls so that...
Imagine you're the CEO of a major bank. Now, imagine paying more and more for security guards, only to find that the risk is increasing, not decreasing, due to threats that can't be countered by security guards.

The Fall Processor Forum was held last week in the Silicon Valley. This show has become the counter to Intel's Developer Forum, and it probably should now be called "The Everything but Intel Microprocessor Forum."
