CA executive surfaces at Application Security
2529
(InfoWorld) - The CA executive who managed the company's eTrust line of security management software has taken the reins at database security vendor Application Security. Toby Weiss took over as president and CEO of the company Feb. 1. He replaces Jack Hembrough, who will now serve as chairman of the board. Weiss is one of three executives to have fled CA over the past month, as the company struggles to turn around its flagging fortunes. The other two were Sam Greenblatt, senior vice president of innovation, and Gary Starkey, senior vice president of CA's Executive Technology Advisors. In an interview, Weiss said he welcomed the opportunity to push security into the database area. "There are not too many companies that have very detailed database security [products]," he said. "There have been over 100 million digital identities stolen since 2005," he added. "What companies need are solutions." Founded in 2001, Application Security is based in New York with a staff of about 120.

(InfoWorld) - For years, Roy Bordes has been attending corporate security conventions, at which exhibitors push video surveillance, alarm systems or bullet-resistant glass. But since the terrorist attacks against the U.S. on Sept. 11, 2001, the American Society of Industrial Security's (ASIS) annual convention "has become a much more serious show,â said Bordes, a regional vice president for the trade group. The ASIS annual convention opens Sept. 25 in San Diego. Most of the 20,000 expected attendees, who make enterprise security buying decisions, are evaluating new applications to protect both their physical and virtual assets. There's a growing convergence of network, physical and building security functions, Bordes said. Enterprise spending on converged security projects in the U.S. and Europe is forecast to reach US$11.2 billion in 2008, from just $1.1 billion in 2005, according to Forrester Research Inc. Companies are deploying the fingerprint scanner technology that can admit employees into the building and allow them to log onto their computer, said Bordes, president of The Bordes Group Inc., a security consulting firm in Orlando. Converged network and physical security is getting C-level management attention, too, said Michael Corcoran, president of the California University of Protection and Intelligence Management, in San Jose, which confers degrees in intelligence management and management of personal protection. Some graduates become a company's chief security officer, guarding executives, protecting the building and, increasingly, also the computer network, Corcoran said. âThe CSO could be from the physical-security side or the network-security side. [Companies] want someone who is well-rounded in both areas,â he said.
