I’ve blogged several times about how employers are inreasingly using information found on the Internet to make hiring, and firing, decisions, such as here and here.
I’ve also written about it several times, such as here.
Here’s another example to add to your files for how information posted to social networking sites, such as MySpace and Facebook, can impact your employment situation where a woman graduating with an education degree was denied teaching credentials, and this is not the first time a situation has occurred similar to this…
Another Example Of How Internet Information Impacts Employment Decisions
May 7th, 2008Revisiting Two Viewpoints Of Outsourcing Vendor Security
May 6th, 2008While at CSI SX last week, we covered the need to ensure business partners, to whom we outsource information processing and handling, have good security and privacy programs in place within the class I provide with Chris Grillo, “Executive Summit: Security and Privacy Collaboration.”
Click Wrap Contracts: Creating Them And Agreeing To Them

What Business Leaders Need To Know About Employee Privacy
May 4th, 2008Here it is May, and I’m just now getting all of my April IT Compliance in Realtime Journal articles blogged about! Being in Las Vegas for a week at CSI SX / Interop really put a monkey wrench in my blogging activity last week.
While at the conference I spoke with many information security and IT leaders about privacy. Most have customer privacy on their minds, but a significant portion have not thought about employee privacy issues.
So, this article, “What Business Leaders Need To Know About Employee Privacy,” which is the third in my April IT Compliance in Realtime Journal issue, is pretty timely.

Corporate Communications Officers Tying The Hands Of Information Security and Privacy Pros
April 29th, 2008I’ve been here at the CSI SX conference for the past few days, and I’ve had the great opportunity and pleasure of speaking with a large number of folks while here. I was finally able to meet Ron Woerner in person (nice to meet you Ron!) after communicating with him in the Security Catalyst Community over the past 1+ year.
I love coming to these conferences and just talking with the participants. There is always at least one topic for which I receive enlightenment that I had not considered before. During the past few days I’ve spoken with 4 to 5 people who are responsible for information security, all from highly regulated industries, who all say despite their adequate to even generous information security and privacy budgets, some of their most important information security and privacy efforts are being quashed by their corporate communications offices; those responsible for the messages that are sent to personnel throughout the enterprise.

April 28th, 2008Do We REALLY Need Doctors To Do Consultations Via Email?
April 25th, 2008A few months ago I had some lively back-and-forth blog postings with a doctor who used email and instant messaging (IM) a lot in his practice; here, here and here.
Today my good friend Alec forwarded me another interesting news article (thanks Alec!) about the use of email by doctors; “It’s no LOL: Few US doctors answer e-mails from patients.”
Smart Business Leaders Support Effective Log Management Practices and Necessary Resources
