Trusted Computing Group

This week at the gargantuan Consumer Electronics Show (CES), the spotlight has shone brightly on a new category of PCs: ultrabooks. These thin, lightweight notebook PCs have powerful processors, regular-sized keyboards, fast start-up - and a focus on security, with inclusion of the Trusted Computing Group's Trusted Platform Module (TPM).

The brand-new "Architect's Guide: Mobile Security Using TNC Technology" is now available. This guide notes critical strategies including a unified approach, minimizing special cases, pushing access control enforcement to the end user when possible and incorporating a "trust, but verify" approach.

In a new interview published this week by by SecurityStockwatch.com, Chris Daly of TCG member GDC4 Systems talks about the good stuff his company is doing to help secure the nation's critical computing infrastructure, systems and communications.

In one of the many buyers guides published at years' end, PC World notes preferred and beneficial features and technologies small business should look for in laptop PCs.

On December 13, Trusted Computing Group security thought leaders, with an Information Week editor, offered updates and thoughts on the future of security beyond traditional PCs. This webcast addressed the concepts of trust in areas including cloud, or multi-tenant infrastructure, computing; embedded devices; and mobile systems.
