Know How To Motivate Your Personnel To Protect Information
Wednesday, October 3rd, 2007Not everyone has the same motivation to secure the information they handle or access while they are working. This is something very important for information security and privacy practitioners to understand, but unfortunately too many do not think about motivation factors when creating and managing their information security, privacy and compliance programs.
Trends In Allowing MP3 Downloads to Corporate Networks
Thursday, September 20th, 2007I love my iPod and my iTunes. I have always liked to pick and choose the tunes I wanted to hear and not have to listen to the entire album/CD if there were some songs that I didn’t care for. Plus, I like to listen to a variety of singers, all mixed together. I’ve created dozens of playlists for various events and activites I do. I have an eclectic taste in music which I am broadening all the time while listening to what I think is one of the top radio stations in the entire country, located right here in the Des Moines, Iowa area. Add to this the many great podcasts that continue to be churned out, and you can imagine how many weeks of total play time are stored on my computer within my MP3s.

SMB PCI DSS Issues at the State Fair
Thursday, August 16th, 2007Yesterday I was at the Iowa State Fair literally all day; from 8am to around 8:30pm. Despite the 95 degree extremely humid weather it was such a fun day! The cloudy skies and nice breezes helped a lot. We didn’t get to probably half of the exhibits and activities. And I was *VERY* disappointed I didn’t see any of the at least 4 presidential hopefuls who were on the grounds; the place is so big I guess we were always in the wrong place at the right time.
