TECHNOLOGY NEWS

The US government said Wednesday, [June 3^rd that it] plans to digitally sign the internet's root zone by the end of the year, a move that would end years of inaction securing the internet's most important asset.

The US Department of Commerce's National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) said it was turning to ICANN, or the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, and VeriSign to implement the measure, which is known as DNSSEC. In October, the two organizations submitted separate proposals that offered sharply contrasting visions for putting the complicated framework in place.

• CobiT and Application Controls: A Manager's Guide

The dependence of enterprises on automated processing of information is indisputable. Virtually every aspect of day-today business activity is dependent on timely, accurate and reliable information—information that is generated, processed, accumulated, stored and reported by automated information systems. Customers, suppliers, employees, line management,
middle management, the C-suite, board of directors, shareholders and all other stakeholders make decisions based on the information they receive—information whose integrity and reliability depend almost exclusively on the application systems and
surrounding control processes that are used to process the information. These decisions can be only as good as the quality of the information upon which they are based. Bad information will almost invariably result in bad decisions—garbage in, garbage
out. The examples of bad information leading to fateful decisions are numerous and no enterprise is immune. There are many examples within anyone’s personal experiences.
