Sounds like a line from a commercial, but really applies to what’s going on around data and document security today. A lot of organizations are looking hard at the security of their information. Everyday you read about another data breach by hacking, an insider stealing something or someone accidentally sending the wrong information to the wrong person. The immediate reaction to these events is to throw technology at it. My firewall must not be...

Today Apple released iTunes 10.1. I opened up iTunes and the application told me there was a new version available. I clicked through the install screen and the EULA (end user license agreement) popped up in my face. Like most people, I usually just click through the EULA without actually reading it. But today I read the top section. Why? Because it was in VERY LARGE LETTERS. This is what the first part said:...

A few weeks ago the Internet was abuzz about Eric Butler’s release of a new FireFox extension called Firesheep. The point of the extension was to highlight the vulnerability of open wireless networks. Firesheep makes it easy to capture login credentials from a site that isn’t using a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or HTTPS connection. By default the extension lets you capture credentials from Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo, Foursquare and lots of other popular sites. ...

This week Google sent an email to all Gmail users describing a class action settlement regarding privacy complaints when they launched Buzz in February 2010. A copy of mine is below. The letter basically says Google made some mistakes, made changes to Buzz following public outcry and is setting up a fund to promote privacy education and policy on the web. We the people can opt in or out of the settlement. If you...

It’s almost Halloween and another large company has decided they prefer the treat in the cloud to the trick of on-premise software. Virgin America took the leap into the cloud by moving from Microsoft Exchange to Google Gmail. The company is in the process of switching and was motivated by saving hundreds of thousands of dollars. Virgin America joins other large organizations, like The City of Los Angles, who decided that it was less...

Today the blogosphere has been going wild about a new FireFox extension that makes it easy to capture login credentials and hack into systems on an open network. Eric Butler, a freelance web application and software developer from Seattle, WA, created Firesheep to showcase this vulnerability in websites. I am not sure if Eric is doing a great service by highlighting a vulnerability or just being reckless and giving people an easy way to...

I read an interesting article recently about India’s plans to build a new computer operating system. Their main goal is to enhance the security of their computer systems – they want to deter and prevent hacking. The Defence Research & Development Organization (DRDO) is developing the new operating. India’s current dispute with Research In Motion for greater access to communications for BlackBerrys is an example of their security concerns. This got me to thinking...

Another day, another Facebook privacy issue shows up in the news. Yesterday The Wall Street Journal reported that Facebook has been transmitting user information to advertising and Internet tracking companies through its popular applications. Facebook claims that they did not do this intentionally, but that it was a function of how browsers pass credentials. This issue affects millions of users who are using Facebook apps. If you ever played FarmVille, Mafia Wars or used...

I recently read an interesting article where GE brought together their Legal and IT teams to address information governance and security. Nuala O’Connor Kelly, senior counsel and chief privacy leader for GE, worked with GE Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) Grady Summers to launch a GE Information Governance Council. This combines the strengths of IT and Legal to holistically review information management and policy issues. Historically information security and management has been in the...
