For the past several years I have written often, and given much training, to demonstrate and emphasize the need for information security and privacy areas to collaborate in their efforts. There are just too many topic overlaps between the two areas to NOT work together cooperatively.

A few weeks ago I wrote about how sending text messages got the mayor of Detroit in big trouble.
