Today's Story Highlights

Yahoo CISO, NSA Chief Slug It Out Over Security Backdoors
Yahoo CISO Alex Stamos on Monday confronted NSA Director Adm. Mike
Rogers over the United States government's plan to require built-in
backdoors in hardware and software made by American companies. The
exchange took place at the New America Foundation's cybersecurity
conference. Building backdoors into cryptography is "like drilling a
hole in the windshield," Stamos said.

Relax, You're Surrounded
I don't know how many old movies there are in which the good guys say,
"You're surrounded, come out with your hands up!" Somehow being
surrounded is a bad thing -- or at least it was -- until it became a hot
trend in the back office. Let me explain. Surrounding legacy systems,
such as conventional ERP, is proving to be a good idea for a bunch of
reasons.

FTC, Private Sector Lock Horns Over Consumer Data Protection
The major headline hacking event of 2014 involved data theft at a highly
visible enterprise: Sony Pictures. Perhaps just as significant in e-
commerce security was a 2014 federal court ruling which allows the FTC
to continue penalizing commercial firms for failure to protect consumer
data from hackers. That decision has been challenged, and in early March
the FTC and its opponent will square off in court.

Google Pads Its Wallet
Google on Monday announced a two-pronged thrust to beef up its efforts
in the mobile wallet arena. It has struck agreements with Verizon
Wireless, AT&T Mobility and T-Mobile to preinstall the Google Wallet
app, including its tap-and-pay functionality, on Android phones the
carriers will offer later this year in the United States. The devices
must run KitKat or later.
