Can we Trust our Workforce?

Can we Trust our Workforce?

Traditionally, one of the most important assets of any successful company is its workforce. Competitive edge comes from employing hard-working, law-abiding motivated individuals with a strong company loyalty. Even for the odd employee, with a grudge against the company, the combination of laws and contracts in the past acted as sufficient deterrent to any wrong-doing.

Can the phishing war be won?

Can the phishing war be won?

Phishing is now an accepted fact of life for many Internet users. Most of the emails that they receive are clearly from friends or business contacts, or clearly fraudulent. But there are a few, just a few, that might just be genuine, and there will always be a small percentage of users who will follow the link sent them in the email, and connect to what they think is their bank, and give the phishers their reward.

What can software asset management do for me?

What can software asset management do for me?

‘It is an irony of modern business that directors pay more attention to the control of assets such as company cars than they do to the management of business critical investments such as IT.’ So says George Cox, director of the IOD. An irony that deepens further still when you realize that many organizations spend more each year on software than they do on their vehicle fleets.

Open source. Love it or hate it, but can you trust it?

Open source software (OSS) is firmly entrenched in the infrastructure of the Internet, and is now making inroads into the security market too.
