Backup tapes can't be neglected

Backup tapes can't be neglected

In 2005, storage security losses frequently garnered a storm of media attention, with one organization losing computer backup tapes with personal information on current and former employees.

Paying the cost to be the boss

Paying the cost to be the boss

In our organizations, we need to take a strong lead in many areas. The first area is awareness.

In our organizations, we know that sort of thing is happening somewhere in the company.

We can’t be quite so open any more

a recent article about the growing fear of identity theft reminded me of a recent incident involving one of my colleagues, a hospital doctor. Let’s call him John Smith, and his workplace Greater Manchester Hospital.

Be careful what you measure

Be careful what you measure

Quality-assurance audits are a bit like visits to the dentist; you know you need them, and that they will do you good, but that doesn't make the day itself any more fun. A recent audit I was involved in brought with it the usual flurry of activity to close off outstanding actions and generate the relevant reports.
