Tuesday, August 7th, 2007Wii Need To Be Creative With Information Security and Privacy Awareness
Monday, August 6th, 2007No, I didn’t misspell in the title… 🙂
My youngest son recently celebrated his birthday. Both my sons are the greatest kids I could ever have dreamed of. They both always do their chores and homework with very little prodding, are healthy, smart, considerate, loveable…well, I could go on and on. I am very thankful for them.
Privacy in the 21st Century is Captured Well in This Year’s GSW Logo Competition Winner
Sunday, August 5th, 2007Global Security Week (GSW) is September 3 – 7 this year, and the topic is Privacy in the 21st Century.
All the GSW logo entries were nice, but I think the winner of the GSW logo competition, Emily Hoelscher, captures the essence of privacy quite well. I really like how Emily incorporated both physical and data issues into her design.
The Many Languages of Security and Privacy
Friday, August 3rd, 2007I’ve done a lot of information security and privacy awareness and training work since 1990. I continue to do a lot; not only because of the *REAL* importance it has to the success of security and privacy efforts, but also because it is something I love doing.

Insider Threat: Contractor Sabotages Space Shuttle Endeavour
Wednesday, August 1st, 2007It feels like I’ve been writing a lot about the insider threat lately, but then again, it seems I read about a new incident caused by insiders almost daily. So much time, effort and money is spent on keeping the outsiders from getting to systems and data, but a comparatively little amount is spent on addressing, and trying to prevent, insiders from doing bad things. Folks who are trusted and have authorized access can do so much harm. The technologies focusing on the outsiders are not going to do much to protect your information from insiders.

Tuesday, July 31st, 2007Oh, boy, reading this Wall Street Journal story, “Ten Things Your IT Department Won’t Tell You” brought back some memories of personnel who went to great lengths to get around security requirements!
International PII Data Transfers: New Requirements from Spain
Monday, July 30th, 2007In this global economy it is important for you to know, understand and follow the data protection laws in all the countries where you have offices, have customers, store personally identifiable information (PII) and from where PII is accessed. Each country has nuances within their laws that could create quite a big obstacle if you are doing business there and find you must suddenly stop because you are out of compliance with their data protection laws.
Do You Think Privacy Is Really Dead?
Saturday, July 28th, 2007I occasionally post to the Cutter Consortium blog, and the recent topics there have involved privacy.
Retail Locations Have Unique Challenges With PCI DSS Compliance
Friday, July 27th, 2007I’ve been intrigued lately with PCI DSS compliance. It has all retailers on edge, has multiple vendors drooling, and has spawned new laws and bills, such as in Minnesota and Texas. I’ve had interesting discussions about it with those who process credit card payments, and I’ve been doing some research into the various issues.
