It’s tax season again and if you’re using an accounting firm to prepare your personal or business taxes you should be asking more questions this year about the security of your information.

It’s less than a week after the annual RSA security conference and the number of data breaches continues unabated. Two small, but significant items appeared in the news, that illustrate the challenges companies face in everyday business operations. One event happened in New Hampshire and the other in the Boston area. The NH event involved a vendor of EMC. Apparently an employee was sending an Excel document to someone and accidentally sent it to...

The recent revelations that Edward Snowden stole a coworkers password to gain access to sensitive NSA information should be a wakeup call to business and technology leaders. Using outdated ways of controlling information access may be hurting your business. The practice of using IDs and passwords to control access to information has been around for a long time. Militaries as far back as the Romans used passwords to get past sentries. Passwords and counter...

The US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) launched its Cybersecurity Framework, a voluntary how-to guide for organizations to enhance their cybersecurity. The framework provides best practices for voluntary use in all critical infrastructure sectors, including government, healthcare, financial services and transportation. The US government and the private sector spent a year developing these guidelines to help organizations develop information security protection programs. This was a recognition and proposal by President Obama in...

I was speaking to a senior executive at a large organization recently and he made a comment that I thought was very timely. He said “we can no longer take the risk of having our most important information in a state that allows someone to intentionally or unintentionally expose it to the wrong people. The time for analyzing options is over. We have to do something now!” Companies have invested millions protecting their data...

2013 may have been the year that organizations started changing their security focus from outsiders to insiders. Most of the well publicized data breaches involved outside hackers, until Mr. Edward Snowden made his revelations about the National Security Agency’s (NSA) spy programs. All of a sudden, everyone is worried that a disgruntled employee or other person with malicious intent could cause havoc. The malicious insider remains a serious threat, but will become more visible...

Living in the northeast United States for my entire life has taught me some valuable lessons on being prepared for the ever-changing weather conditions. Mother Nature can be very unforgiving and if you let your guard down you generally find out at the worst possible time that you have a problem – like in the middle of a snowstorm! Thinking ahead and anticipating where the trouble will come from is important if you want...

I have always believed the best way to get a point across is by telling an anecdotal story about something I have experienced. In the past several weeks there have been numerous examples of confidential files being exposed due to human error when using email. A recent instance occurred in the UK at the Ministry of Justice. An employee sent a comprehensive spreadsheet that included names, addresses, sentence lengths, release dates, and some information...

Most organizations use a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) to protect intellectual property or other confidential business information. It’s common to require employees, contractors and business partners to sign an NDA so the company has some legal recourse if someone distributes or leaks any confidential business-related information. An NDA should provide security to a business that wants to prevent people from sharing its secrets with the world. Unfortunately most of us view it as a formality...

What if your confidential files could phone home every time they were accessed or if you had a complete audit trail of everything that was done with the file regardless of its location? Imagine if someone renamed the file or changed format and emailed it to someone that was not supposed to have it and you had the ability to kill the file and all of its derivatives! Believe it or not it’s possible....
