Jak można sprzedawać złe wiadomości

Vulnerability alerting services - ten termin jest określany na usługi związane z udostępnieniem informacji na temat zagrożeń bezpieczeństwa związanych z wykorzystaniem internetu oraz oprogramowania. Zawiera informacje na temat kiedy powstało zagrożenie, jakeigo produktu dotyczy, czym jest to zagrożenie oraz jak można je obejść. Niby proste ale jak uwzględnić ilość takich raportów w ciągu roku (w roku 2004 było ich 889) to może być kłopot z terminową obsługą i reakcją na te zagrożenia. Dlatego wiele firm udostępnia płatny serwis informujący o tych zagrożeniach. Najlepszą z firm okazał się Symantec z produktem "DeepSight Alert Service". Inni to: Co-Logic Security, Cybertrust, PivX Solutions, SecurityMob, SecurityGlobal.net, Secunia. Ciekawe, że firmy autorskie danego oprogramowania udostępniają te raporty bezpłatnie np.: Microsoft, Cisco, IBM. Wadą tych rozwiązań jest to, że mimo ich statusu bezpłatności ograniczają się do swoich tylko produktów. No z wyjątkiem Microsoft, który pokrywa znacznie więcej produktów i ma dodatkowo KB. Więcej na ten temat można znaleźć tu.

IBM dalej rozwija usługę biurową Workplace

IBM's Lotus unit on Monday updated Workplace, its collaborative software line, with enhanced development tools and a hosted document-management service offering. The announcements were timed to coincide with the Lotusphere conference taking place this week in Orlando, Fla.

The company introduced Workplace Collaborative Service, a set of Web-delivered collaborative programs, including e-mail, calendering and electronic learning tools, which IBM will sell as a single bundle. Workplace is IBM's line of Java-based productivity applications that run with the company's WebSphere Portal software. To help the transition from its current Notes and Domino to Workplace, the company released tools aimed at simplifying Workplace application development. It also added a hosted service to manage and collect reports required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. In a release, IBM said that version 7 of Notes and Domino will be available this summer.

Kody AIX do przejrzenia przez SCO

BM ordered to reveal source code to SCO
IBM has been ordered to hand over source code of its AIX and Dynix operating systems to SCO, in the latest installment of the long-running Linux intellectual property rights legal case between the pair.
A federal court in Utah has ordered that IBM must supply the code by 11 February after a successful application from SCO, which wants to examine it to see if any of its code was used in IBM products.
The legal feud started in spring 2003 when SCO claimed its code had been used to develop various commercial Linux products, and IBM was the subject of a multibillion-dollar lawsuit.
Other firms supplying Linux products are also being threatened by SCO. SCO claims parts of its Unix System V operating system have been used by other companies to develop Linux and other types of software products.
IBM denies any infringement to SCO’s intellectual property, and the outcome of the case will have a huge impact on the Linux open-source market.
Many users of Linux products are now seeking indemnity from their suppliers against prosecution from SCO.
The full trial is not expected to begin until the end of the year.

Usługi sieciowe (WS) i MS SQL Server

At the formal release of the Microsoft .NET Framework, Bill Gates promoted Web services by demonstrating the SQL Server 2000 Web Services Toolkit, which comes with XML for SQL Server 2000's third Web release (SQLXML 3.0). The Web Services Toolkit is a jewel, letting you graphically create a Web service that exposes database objects such as stored procedures and user-defined functions (UDFs). If you're handy at T-SQL and stored procedures, SQLXML 3.0 turns you into a Web services wizard with practically no learning curve.
SQL Server Magazine has chronicled SQLXML 3.0 since its inception. Brian Moran, for example, described how to get started creating Web services with the initial release of SQLXML 3.0 in his February 21, 2002, SQL Server Perspectives column, "Use the SQL Server 2000 Web Services Toolkit to Get Started with .NET" (InstantDoc ID 24206). Since then, Microsoft has released two service-pack updates to SQLXML 3.0. You can find the latest update, Service Pack 2 (SP2), as a free download at http://www.microsoft.com /downloads/details.aspx?familyid=4c8033a9-cf10-4e22-8004-477098a407ac&displaylang=en. In this article, I take you beyond the basics of building a Web service. The sample telephone-directory Web service application demonstrates how to invoke stored procedures and UDFs by passing parameters and capturing return values. Learning how to build the sample application will equip you to create flexible Web services solutions that expand the uses for existing SQL Server database objects. In addition, some organizations might find the sample application a quick and easy solution for an online telephone directory that runs behind a firewall
