The White House hit back at a House Republican proposal to limit the size of the White House national security council to gain leverage in disputes with the president over military policy.
White House press secretary Josh Earnest said the suggestion floated by House Armed Services Chairman Mac Thornberry, Texas Republican, is hypocritical. He said Congress "doesn't seem like they're at all prepared to pass a budget for our military this year" and has refused for two years to consider an authorization of military force against the Islamic State terrorist group.

From weather-related damage and natural disasters to technology breaches, a new study from CareerBuilder looks at how prepared workers feel they are to deal with workplace disasters. According to the survey, the vast majority of workers (93 percent) feel their office is a secure place to work. But is this sense of security misguided?

One of the most important but seldom discussed aspects of any security program is the people an organization employs to watch over its most valuable assets. Installing the latest and greatest technology or rigidly adhering to industry best practices means nothing if the employees responsible for overseeing them lack the ability to do their jobs effectively.

 True or false: Only law enforcement and some security guards are allowed to bring weapons to work. It must be true, right? Could you imagine if just anyone could bring a gun to work? But what about our constitutional right to bear arms? If an employee has a legitimate permit, isn't it lawful for her to carry her weapon? The answer is complicated. Talking about weapons at work can be a sensitive topic. Yet it warrants some level-headed discourse and thoughtful action.

Older workers represent a large and growing share of workplace fatalities, according to a report issued by the AFL-CIO April 27.
In 2014, the last year for which Bureau of Labor Statistics data are available, 35 percent of all workers who died on the job were 55 or older, the report says. The total number of deaths, 1,691, is the highest ever recorded for this group of workers (see related story).

 Before the busiest period of the year is even upon us, America's airports and their passengers are facing unacceptable wait times to pass through security screening, regularly resulting in missed flights and a strain on facilities. The issue was highlighted over Easter weekend at Charlotte Douglas Airport in North Carolina. The airport's interim aviation director, Brent Cagle, bemoaned lines lasting up to three hours for passengers at TSA checks, many of whom missed their flights.

 We have crossed the mainstream threshold of an entirely new attack on the information collected by hospitals and healthcare facilities: ransomware attacks. There is currently no bigger buzzword in the health security sector than that — "ransomware." According to a recent report, a majority of hospitals in the U.S. have been the target of a ransomware attack. Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) is now seeking more information from the FBI on ransomware attacks on hospitals.

Dark Reading
The only way security flaws are identified in SQL scripts for production databases is through a manual review. For example, if user permissions are elevated via "grant sysdba to username" in a stored procedure, only a manual code review will catch this. Because this manual process is today trying (and failing) to keep pace with supercharged application development teams, bad code, unnecessary changes, or overly liberal access grants can slip through the cracks.

Facebook's Messenger app has allowed users to send money to friends using their debit cards since last spring, but recent reports indicate that Facebook may be considering a move into the retail payments space as well, following in the tracks of Apple, Samsung and Google. Facebook will need to be careful, however, not to simply become yet another channel for criminals, security experts say.
