A state audit shows inadequate security policies has put the Virginia School for the Deaf and Blind at risk for information technology breaches, and it has uncovered accounting lapses related to a construction project. The 173-year-old school lacks most of the information "to develop and implement an information-security program that provides assurance over data confidentiality, integrity and availability," according to the audit.
Baylor professor and computer security guru Randal Vaughn puts the darker side of technology into perspective with the notion that both white hats and black hats populate the world, "and most people are kind of gray." Much of the mischief done through technology comes from human error, he said, not deliberate evil. Computer security must cover three main areas. These include integrity in the system, or whether people trust it; confidentiality, or whose eyes see it; and availability, or how easy it is for users to access. Every organization struggles with security and a common belief among companies is that they must secure everything. Secure these things that are really critical -- customer data, information, financial models, the way you do analysis. Privacy is important to consumers w...

Some enterprises now consider cloud computing to be the next-best thing to sliced bread. As an expert in information security and risk management for more than two decades, Jeff Kalwerisky has worked for many Fortune 100 companies and sees some security risks that could expose company data in the cloud architecture. Data security needs to be measured according to the classic model he calls "CIA": confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

If you represent physicians or other health care providers, you may have pulled an all-nighter on April 13, 2003, to ensure that your clients were compliant with the privacy rule of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). One of the things you likely did was to make sure that your clients' business associate agreements were drafted and in place by the April 14, 2003 deadline.Since then, most of those business associate agreements have been gathering dust, and are now forgotten.
