The Canadian Copyright bill was passed yesterday, a bill that demands a little adjustment to our day to day life. Till now, no one cared who is using our internet connection or what are the files being downloaded or uploaded using it. No one cared of your unscrambled satellite videos from across the border. However that's all changing even though you may not want it that way. I guess no one can withstand the pressure of the "big guys" for too long.
According to the law, for each piece of copyrighted material that you bring to your property illegally, you are paying a minimum of $500; which may go up to a maximum of $20,000 depending on what you do with it after you acquire it in your property. Definition of property includes, but not limited to, computers, video cassettes, USB sticks, and cable and satellite receivers.

Smartphones are now rich in features that include network connectivity, enough storage space with efficient processors. These enter your network through authorized corporate users while others are brought in by employees who purchased it themselves.
The following are some of the security considerations for smartphones in an enterprise:
- Have a proper enterprise security policy in place for smartphone that can be applied and enforced for everyone. - Education and training is important for the awareness of such policies.
- Security policies and standards should be enforced in such a way that the use of the device should be seamless to the user. While having efficient disk encryption for sensitive information, it’s also desired to have easy access to 911 without a password.

At the start of the New Year, CIO magazine has data protection and governance at the top of the list for this year. I thought this was supposed to be taken care from day one! In this age when words are being patented, we are still trying to figure out to protect data.
It’s true we have information hidden everywhere consciously or not. It was very late until we realised the value of data that we carried for long. We found there is a lot of value in this dusted data that we had hard time archiving. We developed the concept of data warehouse and business intelligence. Even then, we forgot to protect it. Talk to some of the best data warehousing experts in the industry, you will be surprised when they start arguing your need to protect data!Comments (3) | Quote this article on your site | Views: 1262 |
