TacticsAddressing Teleworkers' Security and Backup Needs The rise in the number of laptops, broadband and Wi-Fi connections in homes, and Webmail accounts has made telecommuting more feasible than ever. But IT needs to better address security. Ten Security Strategies for Your Business Some businesses are hit hard by threats like malicious code, spam and phishing. Here's how to avoid disruptions and down time. Expanding Wireless in Government Government agencies want the benefits of wireless, but many have yet to address the security issues that go hand-in-hand the technologies, leaving data subject to theft or corruption. Developing an Information Governance Policy An increasing number of CIOs are developing governance policies for who can create, collect, or use data. Improving Government Records Management The public sector needs to catch up with the private sector in terms of complying with records management laws. No longer content with imitating messages from financial service concerns, phishers have taken to sending what appear to be legitimate emails from government agencies. Government IT: The 15-Year View Planning several years down the road is helpful for public sector CIOs to understand which technologies to embrace and how best to deploy IT. When the Government Breaches Data Security Stolen government laptop computers have put the spotlight on how government agencies are handling sensitive personal data. In addition to all of the externally mandated regulations, government agencies should not lose sight of the importance of establishing and maintaining internal IT policies. Email Security and Availability inside Government Government agencies depend on email for communications, but they need to protect email data and systems from abuse and attack. The Federal Quest for a Service-Oriented Architecture A recent survey of federal government IT architects found a high-level of commitment to moving to a service-oriented architecture (SOA) in their agencies. Managing IT Security Compliance For power and energy companies, compliance is an ongoing process that requires automation to reduce cost and inefficiencies. Protecting Government from the Latest Attacks As the United States continues to be the top country of origin for malicious attacks, governments need to be aware of emerging online threats. What to Do About Those Legacy Systems Governments are trying to follow the private sector by replacing old mainframes and applications with less costly, off-the-shelf solutions. Keys to COOP Planning in Government As federal and state agencies increasingly seek to share sensitive data, a continuity of operations plan needs to address both sharing and security at the same time. What Citizens Want from eGovernment Federal, state, and local governments need to build Web sites that suit the needs of constituents when putting services online. CIOs need to advocate for stronger customer privacy protections. Not because it's the law, but because it's good business. Navigating the New Telecom Landscape Between the latest round of telecom mergers and the new offerings for phone, broadband, VoIP, and wireless services, CIOs should re-evaluate their communications services. Government agencies and private firms must work together to effectively protect critical infrastructure by sharing intelligence and technology while increasing awareness. What Every CIO Needs to Know about Records Management Documents, emails, and even phone records can become smoking guns in a legal dispute or matter involving regulatory compliance. Critical Challenges for Corporate Compliance A strategic approach can go beyond regulation; it can help information remain secure and available. Wireless Weaknesses in Federal Agencies Failure to secure wireless networks may open federal networks to use by unauthorized personnel. Regulatory requirements can be a bear -- but customer experiences shouldn't be overlooked in the process. Government's Patch Management Challenges Government agencies have a dreadful record of fighting threats. Why is it so bad? CIOs can manage the complex global compliance landscape by looking for commonalities. The deadlines for compliance are in the past, but staying compliant is an ongoing process. Compliance Concerns and Storage Management Understanding what it means to be compliant can go a long way to addressing storage needs. Regulatory Compliance: An Investment, Not Just an Expense CIOs can view the obligation of compliance as an opportunity. Compliance can devour budgets unless CIOs think about new ways of meeting standards. Operational Risk and Information Security Information security is essential to the Basel II plans for reducing operational risk. Fraud, theft, and "phishing" are wreaking havoc on corporations and their customers. It's up to the CIO to make it stop. Deliver Value While Delivering Compliance Building an information security program around a standard framework permits common solutions in regulatory areas, creates efficiencies, and conveys credibility. Compliance Can Improve Company Performance Most CEOs and corporate executives view compliance purely as a cost to doing business. But there is a potential benefit to those who seize the opportunity. |
