Melanie Watson — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 09:20:09 +0000

After a data breach occurs, how much investigation goes into finding the hacker that committed the crime? Little? Or none? It is easier to blame the company where the attack occurred, issue a fine, and pronounce them incompetent of looking after your data. But is this really the case?

Do Your Part – Be Cybersecurity Smart!

Dominika Jankowska — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 15:59:00 +0000

History has taught us: never underestimate the amount of money, time, and effort someone will expend to thwart a security system. It's always better to assume the worst.

Give yourself more security than you need today. When the unexpected happens, you'll be glad you did. - Bruce Schneier
