The topic of the conversation is this pdf that NSS Labs released that tested how well seven popular AV products protected against Aurora. Only McAfee did well. NSS recommends that endpoint security vendors focus more on vulnerability protection rather than reactively blocking individual attacks.

Facebook’s New Social Plugins

Jon — Thu, 06 May 2010 12:44:09 +0000

>Social plugins in particular allow users to interact with other websites (for example, “Liking” them) without even logging in.

This may cause unwanted side-effects for enterprise users. As of their latest content release, Palo Alto Networks can uniquely identify this social plugin traffic and block it independently from “normal” Facebook use. This means if company really needs to use Facebook, they can avoid the social plugin use if they feel it is too risky.
