Thanks for the suggestion, sounds interesting, esp. relative to security and risk. Hadn’t heard about this book. Thanks for the suggestion, sounds interesting, esp. relative to security and risk.

WARS”? I had to read parts of this book as part of my employee orientation at a new job. The book talks about a whole new culture as being necessary – an eCulture – for a true understanding of a "business-technology weave." It has great chapters on security, risk, project management, content management, acceptable use, disaster recovery (rebranded as disaster awareness, preparedness and recovery), policies, and so on. Just Google “IT WARS” – check out a couple links down and read the interview with the author David Scott. (Full title is “I.T. WARS: Managing the Business-Technology Weave in the New Millennium”).

They lost a computer server with a bunch of customer's credit card information on it.

These are scanned versions of notification letters, report forms, and related correspondence obtained from state governments. They add a degree of texture to the otherwise antiseptic numbers, I think. http://datalossdb.org/primary_sources You might be interested in a recent addition to DataLossDB - a database (linked to the main DB) of primary sources.

It's strange that the malware spikes on big loss days. If I were an investor, and I'm not (thankfully, in this financial crisis), I'd be cashing in my stocks left and right, concerned whether or not any of my money was safe with the malware risk.

Since Wall Street is such a HUGE part of our economy, you'd think the big guys on top would make an extra effort to encrypt their data, scan for malware, etc. Especially since investors and traders are, now more than EVER, checking the status of Wall Street. There really should be an easier way, and it will be pretty costly, and since the financial state of the nation isn't exactly prime for all new software, it might not happen in the immediate future... but these are things that need to be closely monitored. Especially for the next potential recession. This is quite interesting.

]]> Comment on Reduce the Impact of a Data Breach by John Franks http://www.databreachwatch.org/data-breach-resources/reduce-the-impact-of-a-data-breach/#comment-48 John Franks Wed, 08 Oct 2008 16:37:46 +0000 http://www.databreachwatch.org/data-breach-resources/reduce-the-impact-of-a-data-breach/#comment-48 These data breaches and thefts are due to a lagging business culture. I found some fresh and original thinking from the author of “IT Wars” - http://www.businessforum.com/DScott_02.html - I urge every business person and IT person, management or staff, to get hold of a copy of "I.T. Wars: Managing the Business-Technology Weave in the New Millennium." It has an excellent chapter on security, and how to scale security for any organization, any budget. It also has a plan template with all considerations. Our CEO has read this book. Our project managers are on their second reading. Our vendors are required to read it (they can borrow our copies if they don't want to purchase it). Any agencies that wish to partner with us: We ask that they read it. Do yourself a favor and read this book – BEFORE you suffer a breach. These data breaches and thefts are due to a lagging business culture.
