Lessons of Wikileaks not learned

A recent study suggests that Organisations in the UK have not changed their attitudes towards the threat of insider breaches despite the lessons of Wikileaks.

In a survey of IT Professionals 86% could not categorically state how many sensitive files were stored on their networks. Only 41% had an idea of where they were stored and an astonishing 18% had no idea where they were stored at all.

More of a concern was that 32% of them confessed that their organisation had lost data as a result of people abusing file access rights.

Arnold Schwarzenegger moves his paper archive

I hear the Arnold Schwarzenegger administration has signed and executive order to release all his paper records to the Califirnia State Archive for collection as soon as possible.

Staff say that the paper content equates to about 6 articulated lorry loads of hard copy documents and about 8 terabytes of electonic data. All of the documents will be indexed and made available to the public. The documents include bill files, news releases, speech files and all letters from constituents.

Whatever happened to the paperless office !
