Grumpiness or a contact in the media may indicate you are an insider threat. Agencies are asked about monitoring former employees - as in capturing evidence of visits to WikiLeaks. Some believe the CIA mentality approach is paranoia, not security. http://cwonline.computerworld.com/t/7121808/114916/352191/0/ Recalculating the telephony security equation Among the threats that keep IT security managers up at night, attacks against phone systems have often ranked near the bottom. The last time we asked IT leaders about their telephony security plans, just 2% had experienced a security incident, and in almost all of these cases, the attack was internal misuse of phone systems for personal long-distance calls. Few had developed any sort of comprehensive security or risk analysis plan covering their voice systems. http://cwonline.computerworld.com/t/7121808/114916/352192/0/ Implications of next-decade computing In wrapping up our look at what the next decade's converged computing and communications capabilities will look like, there are some fundamental issues that were important (in a different form) 10 years ago that will continue to need to be addressed. http://cwonline.computerworld.com/t/7121808/114916/352193/0/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ BEST PLACES IN IT: DO YOU LOVE YOUR JOB?
