An excellent and timely article: It's amazing that breaches and thefts keep happening. There is something that is helping a lot of people, judging by the business blogs I've been reading. It's a defined eCulture called "The Business-Technology Weave" - it helps to influence employee behaviour as regards security, use and integrity of data - as well as protection of hard assets (such as laptops). The book "I.T. Wars" is the leading voice, and concentrates on the solution - a proactive treatment and training of people, and reinforcements to their corresponding security awareness. This is particularly relevant: www.businessforum.com/DScott_02.html . Some good stuff here too: www.david-scott.net . We use his book at work - stupid mistakes like deleted and misplaced data have dropped tremendously. Our CEO even requires our vendors to read it.
