Tech Companies Rally Behind Apple in Encryption Debate
More than a dozen U.S. based tech firms filed legal briefs in support of Apple’s case against the U.S. Government over device security. Apple has been resisting demands from the Federal Bureau of Investigation to unlock the iPhone of San Bernardino shooter Syed Farook. The amicus brief received by U.S. District Judge Sheri Pym in Riverside, California, argued that the 1789 All Writs Act cannot be used to force companies to create new technology. Additionally, the tech companies argue that Congress passed laws that govern what companies are compelled to do in support of government investigation, and the FBI orders are an “end run” around those laws. Families of the victims of the December 2015 terrorist attack filed their own amicus brief opposing the case made by the companies. The tech community that is expressing support for Apple’s stance against the US Government includes some of the biggest corporate rivals. While at first there was some hesitancy to become involved – or perhaps a desire to view the initial trajectory of the confrontation - Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Ebay, Twitter, Airbnb, & Reddit are among the group that has now become proactive. In the amicus briefs filed, the language is crystal clear and harshly criticizes the intent and actions of the FBI. These giant corporations are no longer concerned about any negative public perception. On the contrary, their alignment together will create a positive solidarity in the tech industry, and one which is likely to capture the attention of the public with a strong display of a line in the sand against government action that compromises confidentiality and privacy of the end user.

Getting the Most From Your Security Agency
“Why should I consider bringing an outside security team into my organization?” We get this question a lot. Most companies we talk with know that they have a skilled security team that handles issues with great professionalism. However, there are issues companies and organizations face to which, though they recognize them, they are ill-prepared to respond. Beyond that, there are unknown issues that can present a major problem for the future. It is within these two areas that partnering with an external agency can provide added value, perspective and expertise.
