Dan Ariely is fond of pointing out that “door locks only keep the honest out”. Locks are basically a reminder, like a sign, that it’s socially unacceptable to go further. One could make the argument that is true when it comes to human behavior about scams…if you have a personal relationship with someone, you are [...]

There is another way to talk about the sudden world domination scenario of tablets and iPads, and that is in the context of end-user revolution. Sure – we can argue that form factor (tablet) or multi-touch screens is the end of PC domination of IT solutions. (Today’s WSJ CIO Journal) But the real reason is [...]

“There are known knowns; there are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns; that is to say there are things that, we now know we don’t know. But there are also unknown unknowns – there are things we do not know we don’t know.” — Donald Rumsfeld I was reminded of [...]

Made it home from our US Orlando Symposium conference last week – expecting a quick turnaround to the Symposium conference in Brazil. My plans were interrupted by Sandy. Some of my colleagues never made it back home until after the storm. I rode it out in my antique home – which in the past few [...]

I recently had a close friend comment “I now get all my news from facebook”. No CNN, NBC, CBS, NPR, Local paper…facebook. The highlights of the Republican National Convention? facebook The latest on the Hanta virus in Yosemite? facebook The details of a recent phone line outage due to a fire? facebook. I don’t think [...]

The term “Reverse Mentoring” seems to ebb and flow – in Forbes, in the Wall Street Journal, in Mckinsey reports – originally ascribed (in some circles) to Jack Welch at GE. What a perverse term. More recently it has become vogue to use “reverse mentoring” as a way to get old farts (like me) more [...]

Dan Ariely, who has been a guest of ours in prior webinars, has really gotten some great press on “The Honest Truth About Dishonesty. How We Lie to Everyone – Especially Ourselves”. This is a must read for any CSO or any IT person involved with security. Actually a must read for just about anyone. [...]

I’ve noticed an increase in rogue Facebook “Likes” lately, especially for these 3 topics (Wal-Mart, Target, and – specifically – “Obama is clueless”). In every case the Facebook user was (purportedly) nowhere near Facebook, or even a computer. Yet someone (an app, script kiddies) posted a “like” to those topics/pages on their behalf. My recommendation [...]

I am sure many of you have seen this video over the last few years: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00KvfeZm9VE /Start *rant* Since this video, not much progress has been made on the protocol for for online conference calls. The biggest mistake is that meeting leaders expect dozens, if not hundreds, of people to do the exact same thing [...]

“Advanced Persistent Threats” has become a euphemism for state sponsored cyber threats. The kind the US has legitimized with cyber sabotage, like stuxnet and follow on cyber attacks. I wonder if enterprises (especially multinational and financial services), might be considering their own “plausibly deniable” skunk works that at best are looking at defensive postures beyond [...]
