Physical and Information Security Is Your Job Too

This is a great cartoon video from MindfulSecurity.com that shows how an unsuspecting person can be duped into letting someone steal from your company. Cute, but serious too. [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhXfCzCjHWA[/youtube] ...

Should you use social media at work because it’s the way work gets done today? Or should you ban it because the risk is too great that an employee may disclose confidential information through it? I love social media and social networking. I use it all the time. I use Twitter as my up-to-date news source and have great conversations with people. I use LinkedIn extensively to share blog posts, read articles, get a...

I just finished reading a mystery novel that deals with identity theft and fraud. It’s a great whodunit that’s set in New York City in 2060. For all the changes in technology, it’s amazing how much is still the same in the future (I assume). The premise of the story is that a CEO of a large and powerful company decides to steal the identities of many of his employees to perpetrate murders. Since...

The volume of documents shared through email has exploded because of it’s simplicity. How often have you said, “Email that document to me.” It’s our default document distribution tool. It works well for small documents, but not for large files, because many organizations have limits on sending and receiving. Because it’s so easy to do, there is also a high probability you may send the wrong document to the wrong person. Sometimes this is...

As people start settling into the new year and develop plans and business priorities, one thing is certain. The lifeblood of your business is information. Controlling and protecting your information is critical. If you look at recent news headlines, you will realize that your data is under assault from everywhere. Just before Christmas, a bogus holiday email card was supposedly sent by The White House to steal documents and other data from law enforcement,...

Current computer and network security, like SSL and VPNs, can trace their origins to cipher systems developed thousands of years ago. The first ciphers are thought to come from ancient Greece and Rome, where generals and politicians wanted to communicate their plans in secret. These early ciphers rearranged letters in a message to make them more difficult to read. Modern encryption standards employ the same basic idea, but today use sophisticated mathematical algorithms to...

Just when you thought it was safe to look at your files again, here comes WikiLeaks the game. This is very funny. You, Julian Assange, must sneak into the Oval Office and download 300,000 classified documents from President Barack Obama’s laptop using a USB drive while he sleeps. It’s harder than it looks, but all in good fun. Basically this is how Private Bradley Manning stole all the US government classified documents that wound...

If an information security breach occurred, how confident are you that your IT staff and others will know how to respond? Better yet, are you even sure that someone would know you had a breach? Unless you’re monitoring everything that goes on in your network and computer systems, it’s tough to figure out if you’ve been breached. Losing a sensitive file may not be obvious. If you lose your backup tapes or someone steals...

Organizations spend millions of dollars on perimeter and infrastructure security, but very little on protecting their data and content. Traditionally the goal has been to keep out the bad guys, be they hackers, criminals or someone intent on mischief. Organizations have always assumed that anyone who is already on the inside can be trusted. Unfortunately that doesn’t seem to be the case anymore. According to a Gartner survey of 1,500 worldwide companies, businesses spend...
