Beautiful Apple iPad Wallpapers (Nature Inspired)

Designers, “Hacks” and Professionalism: Are We Our Own Worst Enemy?
  |
"The need is constant. The gratification is instant." That?s from the American Red Cross, and it was copy that I plugged into a poster for a blood drive at a comics convention. Sitting beside an image of the sexy and well-endowed Vampirella, the words took on a different meaning. Oops!
But I was struck by how these words are a perfect assessment of our society. We want it all, instantly and as cheap as possible. We are a Walmart culture. Fast and cheap have entered our every pore and changed our society, our lives and our livelihoods. Compounding our daily worries and pressures, we now fight to keep our industry professional and profitable. Clients want our blood for free, and the ?hacks? are designing us out of existence.
Most people blame the laptop and easy-to-use software. Many blame art schools for favoring quantity over quality. Can any of these be blamed merely for doing business? If someone who has no idea what they're doing wants to purchase a computer and a slew of graphics software and call themselves a designer, then they're in business.

No One Nos: Learning to Say No to Bad Ideas
You can't create what clients need when you're too busy saying yes to everything they want. As a user experience designer, it's your job to say no to bad ideas and pointless practices. But getting to no is never easy. Proven techniques that can turn vocal negatives into positive experiences for you, the client, and most importantly, the end-user include citing best practices and simple but powerful business cases; proving your point with numbers; shifting focus from what to who; using the "positive no"; and, when necessary, pricing yourself out.
Kick Ass Kickoff Meetings
Too many kickoff meetings squander the busiest, most expensive people's time reiterating what everyone already knows. If every meeting is an opportunity, why waste your first one? By asking stakeholders tough questions before the kick-off, and using the meeting itself to explore ideas and build relationships, you can turn a room of mutually suspicious turf battlers into an energetic team with shared ownership of the end-product and the kind of bond that can sustain the group through the challenges ahead.

Real World Enterprise Application Security Programmes
This year I have mentioned web application security programmes, how software vulnerability testing recommended risk-based, application security programmes and generalised results from a survey about web application security programs.
But what are enterprises doing in real life and what are the issues? During the second day of OWASP AppSec Research 2010, Michael Craigue of Dell presented on Secure Application Development for the Enterprise: Practical, Real-World Tips. Although I missed it, people who did attend this track were enthusiastic about it and the video recording has now been published. I watched it last weekend.
Michael described Dell's 10-strong Global Information Security Services group and how it works with 3,000-5,000 developers in internal teams and how their appsec work is built on a published and maintained secure application development standard. Some of the problems encountered at Dell were platform diversity, security expert retention, the need to develop self-help documentation for the low and medium risk projects, lack of good metrics around security awareness training, high overhead of conventional threat modelling and the need to build security into the development lifecyle slowly, and in a business-focused manner.
At Dell, the project risk is calculated from ten factors including data classification, compliance requirements, whether it is externally facing, and the security knowledge of the development team. Interestingly, in the final questions from the audience, Michael mentioned Dell are using Open SAMM to identify gaps, measure how well their security programme is performing and to focus improvement efforts. Even projects that the group does not get involved with directly, are subject to quality checks and audit such as using Control Self Assessments (CSAs), which look for the artifacts required in the self-help documentation, even for low-risk applications.
There is another description of how software assurance practices at Ford in 2009, and recently published on US DHS's best practices web site Build Security In. The Ford programme is quite different. Every application security programme is unique because every organisation's culture, application and acceptance of risk is different.
