AT&T Plans CNN-style Security Channel 169

Posted by CmdrTaco from the get-james-earl-jones dept.
An anonymous reader writes "Infoworld has a story about AT&T's upcoming effort to create a CNN of network security.

Within the next year they will begin delivering a video streaming service that will carry Internet security news 24 hours a day, seven days a week, according to the executive in charge of AT&T Labs.""

    Presumably AT&T is going to go deeper into the security game and this is a good move for them. If they want to build credibility, brand this channel with subtlety and simply report the news. But rather than providing this as a service to their existing customers, stream it live to the Internet for everybody's consumption. That will help to build the AT&T brand for security much more so than limiting the audience. The costs cannot be that much more, right?

    Interestingly, the page the article is linked on has a signal to noise ratio for this particular article of about .2. In other words, 80% of the page is noise from advertisements versus 20% actual content that we are interested in by clicking on the link which gets me to thinking.....Given that they are modeling it after the CNN model, hopefully this channel will adhere to the model CNN had in the early days. It was "all news, all the time", kind of like MTVs early days where it was "all music, all the time". Right now CNN has degenerated into talk radio like TV with unbelievably biased commentators, and now they are towing the entertainment news line because they are part of Time Warner and their balance of ads versus news has been going down the tubes for years now. For instance, I had CNN on the other morning from about 9:30 to 10:00 and 60% of the airtime was devoted to commercials. It has been said that with the large conglomerate ownership of media these days, that the Watergate scandal would not have come to light. Think about that for a few minutes and see where it takes you. Scary, is it not?

      On top of that, is streaming video really the way to get security updates? Personally an outline text form lets me go straight to the areas that are applicable to me and what I need to keep secure. I definitely wouldn't want to sit through 15 minutes of (personally) irrelevant crap just to get the security info I need.

      In the end, while there are some broad sweep security alerts that affect everyone or nearly so, most updates are probably important to 1 out of 10 people.

      It could also be yet another medium for ATT to tout it's new "security initiatives" and advertise services given by ATT for ATT customers and all. Even if they do make the service free, how many people will actually bother watching it. Personally I think my BugTraq list is good enough. Though it would be entertaining to see a giant breaking news screen of a new worm otubreak with an infographic as each country gets progressively hit, live over video.
      • Considering how everything AT&T touches turns to shit (cable TV, wireless phones, long distance), they shouldn't get their hopes up. The AT&T name will not build credibility, in fact I think it will do the opposite.

      I thought about it, and I'm not scared in the least.

      If the Watergate scandal happened today, Deep Throat wouldn't have NEEDED the large conglomerate media to get the story out, he'd have just started a blog. If you doubt that a blog could have penetrated the cover-up and conspiracy, just ask Dan Rather, he's got some nice Word documents to show you. :)

      I agree, mainstream media is a joke these days, luckily there is an alternative. No one needs a big corporate monolith to get news out, we all have access to the biggest printing press there is.
      • BS.

        Dan Rather is one thing, Bush is another. If a blog had discredited Bush to that extent, it would either a: be discredited as 'just a blog' or b: be silenced / discredited rather quickly. It took YEARS for the memo from Britain to get around.

        The printing press was working in a vacuum. It made social change because it was completely new when it came to distribuation of information. While it COULD be argued that blogs are the same thing, the main people arguing it would be bloggers. Just because the datalink upstream from individuals is wider doesn't mean the datalink downstream to individuals will get any more varied anytime soon.

        I'm sorry, but that's the way it's probably going to be for a while. I'd like to believe in this viewpoint, but I don't.
        • Yeah, unfortunately, you're right. I think blogging is an awesome tool in the hands of the public. But the fact is, the ratio of people who read blogs to those who just watch the news is low. I wouldn't know about half of the blogs out there if they weren't reported on the news, and that includes the Dan Rather conspiracy. We've got a ways to go.

    Having worked as a consultant for one of AT&T's Managed Security Centers, I can only weep for the people who rely on this "service".

    A few good people at lower levels, but middle and upper management was *completely* clueless about real security. Complete disorganization, and falsification of reports.

    But Hey! - now they'll be on video, so I guess that will make them the de facto experts.
  • Subtle but when you quote an article quoting a commentary, piece of literature or any other possible scenario citing written word it would make Slashdot and any other site look more intelligent getting their punctuation fixed.
  • I feel safer knowing I wasnt the only one that when they first read "ISN" though "Interstellar Network News" from Bab5.

    I'd be really intrested in finding out if it was purposeful or not - Someone at ATT involved with this project is bound to be a B5 fan.
  • Right when you network has crawled to a halt, you want ot tune into a broadband security video.

    RSS anyone? Just have some XML feed, and put effort into making the content so unbelievably timely and incisive that people will switch.

    That is where you money should go, the steak not the sizzle.

    Imagine, you want to know about *scriptkiddyvariant*

    20 seconds $1000000 video logo of A-T-&-T Security channel, bringing you security... blah blah blah - TTWENTY FOUR HOURS A DAY!!! baddab boom bom b de da deheda
