Google Ratchets Up Cloud Security

More and more of our information and day-to-day activities are in the cloud. Email, file storage, pictures, personal data and the like are sitting in cloud-based applications. Most systems still use the old fashioned (some say quaint) practice of accessing these systems with a username and password. The problem is that all of it is subject to attack by all the hacking and phishing schemes for our passwords. It is not the most secure...

Next week at the RSA 2011 Conference, the American Bar Association (ABA) will release its new Data Breach and Encryption Handbook. This book looks at the growing threat of data breaches and how encryption solutions can prevent sensitive data from being compromised. Since the book is published by the ABA, there is a lot of focus on the legal complexities and ramifications surrounding data breach notification laws and their efficacy. The book is a...

That may not be quite true, but Facebook got a lot closer this week by finally implementing HTTPS in account security settings. This makes it a lot harder to grab your username and password and hack your account. Whether this is a reaction to Mark Zuckerberg’s account being hacked or just a realization that it was high time they did this is irrelevant. They did it and this immediately improves security and privacy. For...

Today is Groundhog Day in the United States. For all of us who are weary of this winter, Punxsutawney Phil did not disappoint this morning on Gobbler’s Knob. He did not see his shadow, so the tradition is that we will have an early spring. For all of us watching the snow continue to pile up, that’s a great relief, but I can’t help having a feeling of déjà vu with the snow. I...

Today is Data Privacy Day 2011. This started in 2007 in Europe as Data Protection Day and in 2009, the United States House and Senate recognized January 28, 2009 as National Data Privacy Day. This expanded last year as the National Association of US Attorneys General officially recognized National Data Privacy Day 2010. Privacy theft and piracy are huge problems and huge industries. Stealing information is done primarily for one reason – to make...

I just finished reading For the Win, the latest book by Cory Doctorow, that made me think long and hard about the way we look at physical and virtual or electronic worlds. The story is about a group of people who play massively multiplayer online games (MMO or MMOG) and how their virtual worlds collide with the real world. The games are run by major corporations and the players are from all over the...

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...
