The Cloud Is A File Cabinet – Make Sure You Lock It

Everyone from Walmart to my 10 year old nephew is using cloud computing. Small and mid-sized businesses see it as a great way to use the types of services that were only available to large organizations in the past. Large companies see it as a way to scale quickly and provide new services fast. My business runs completely in the cloud. Ten years ago this would have been impossible. Businesses are taking advantage of...

The world is moving at lightning speed today. People used to talk about doing business at the speed of the Internet and it’s clear we are already there. Change is the only constant, which has been attributed to Heraclitus, Isaac Asimov and others, is the only thing we can rely on. Just look around at the world of business, academia and government. Everyday new products, services and ideas are emerging. Customer loyalties are shifting...

Data breach headlines are almost becoming a cliché. Not a week goes by when I don’t read about people stealing information from a company or someone losing a confidential document. Just this week 435 credit card numbers and 1,175 social security numbers at the University of Maine and 1,007 online store transactions at the University of Arkansas computer store were compromised by hackers. This may not be as large as the 280,000 social security...

It’s 2012. Do you know where your data is, who has access to it and what they are doing with it? These are 3 fundamental questions that every organization should ask, because most people can’t answer all of them. You know you have data in databases. Most financial and customer data sits there and is hopefully protected by encryption. If you aren’t sure, you better check. But a lot of that data makes its...

I just finished reading a book where the entire operations of a financial company are digital. “The Fear Index” by Robert Harris is a thriller that combines the world of hedge funds with an algorithmic trading program that becomes autonomous. The financial company uses no paper in its operations. In fact no paper products or anything related to them are allowed in the offices. There are no magazines or newspapers in the reception area. ...

How often have you accidentally sent an email to the wrong person? If you’re lucky, there are no consequences other than apologizing for sending someone the wrong information. Unfortunately too often, there may be dire consequences. If you sent confidential company information to your competitor, that could be a big problem. You could be in legal and financial trouble.

That almost sounds like the title to a bad movie, almost. In reality it’s a real problem today, since most of the important information inside any business is digital information. In the past, if you wanted to keep your secrets safe, you locked your filing cabinets or stored paper documents in a safe. Today, information is all over the place and in many forms. Someone leaving your company could walk out the door with...

Ah, the poor password. We love it. We hate it. It’s the most maligned thing in our daily lives. Whether you are at work, home or on the road, you use multiple passwords a day. It’s the most common way we have to provide secure access to computers and applications. Because we have so many passwords and we have to remember them, most of us are still in the bad habit of creating ones...
