Wow, now we're talking. Thanks, Awk.

Great news Awk... ! thanks, eom.

Awk, you are on a roll.

If PwC upgrades those 150,000 units, every other major accounting firm that does audits, will do the same thing.

This post is the post of the year. (So far)

Thanks

Awk,

What do you make of this statement by HP

"Wong hinted that HP will soon have announcements related to what is being called the "trusted public cloud," but she declined to be into detail." Possible wave connection?

Looks like the perfect storm has hit the mainland.
Get your umbrellas out boys!

awk - thank you!! what do you make of last section with regards to HP's point of view and plans. Are they on a collision course with our Wave's plans? Interesting that they acknowledge how hard it has been working with TPM's and the need to turn them on remotely with ease.

That article was an awesome read. Thanks again.

Let's hope this conference ends with a big bang tomorrow.

Fantastic News!

pretty much closes the deal as far as Wave's Leadership in
this space.

On another note, someone earlier mentioned Gartner. As I recall
we had discussed Gartner on this board and concluded that one has
to be careful here. Didn't we find out that WinMagic was one of
Gartner's longtime clients going back nine years or so? Just my
recollection and could be wrong here. WinMagic is a Canadian outfit
(founded by a Vietnamese business group) and i am unclear as to
whether the NSA wants to deal with a Canadian outfit with that sort
of background. I could be wrong but don't think so.

anyway, the PWC news is really major and means that the other
big accounting firms will have to pick up the ball too.

Dr. Bob told us all that the audit trail is a key differentiating
tool and i guess we now see why...

WOW!!!!

AWK! Thanks, IT seems PwC is not shy about people knowing what scurity they are endorsing. I am surprised that we have heard this from dear Ellen first and not a PR. I would also be surprised if we do not see some sort of PR about this.

There is a crack in the dam.


Perhaps the tipping point was yesterday!

I will sure enjoy this day.....


PS thanks for all the support you have given this board over the years. It is appreciated by many.

helpful: Do you have any thoughts on the following HP statement as it may relate to Wave (please see bottom)? Thank you.

"Lan Wong, HP's firmware architect in the personal systems group, also spoke at the NSA Trusted Computing Conference on the topic of TPM and key protection and device authentication.

TPM "uses the system BIOS as the root of trust to enable remote authentication," she said. HP, as a founding member of the Trusted Computing Group, has been shipping TPM in HP desktops and notebooks since 2003. But she acknowledges that customers have either ignored TPM too often or not always found it easy to use. She also alluded to the lack of a standard for remote deployment of TPM activations.

The TPM control interface require specialized knowledge, she said, and TPM activation and enablement isn't as simple as it could probably be. But HP's implementation comes with scripts the IT administrators can use to activate TPM deployments in their enterprise.

She also noted it's possible to use TPM to enhance file and folder encryption by tying encryption to TPM. Wong hinted that HP will soon have announcements related to what is being called the "trusted public cloud," but she declined to be into detail.

In acquiring ArcSight, HP signals intent to be the security leader as NSA accreditations lag behind IT security innovations.

Per the post I'm replying to...shouldn't we possibly get a similar auto-maker announcement with PWC? Afterall, they were only 35k seats into a 150k seat total. Just curious.
