January 3, 2013 06:00 AM ET Computerworld - The statistics are staggering: Last year, Symantec blocked a total of over 5.5 billion malware attacks, an 81% increase over 2010, and reported a 35% increase in Web-based attacks and a 41% increase in new variants of malware. If those findings, documented in the company's latest annual Internet Security Threat Report , cause IT leaders to wonder if they've done everything possible to protect their companies, they might consider looking in the mirror. That's because security folks, in struggling to establish policies and procedures that are both effective and easy to use, often forget a third and crucial step, experts say: Communicating their security goals in such a way that the broad corporate population not only understands but responds. "Compliance is necessary, but it's not sufficient," says Malcolm Harkins, vice president and chief information security officer at Intel.

Online Privacy: Expert Hints And Tips | Tech Goes Strong
Internet users spend the equivalent of nearly 4 million years online every month, including 32 hours per person here in the US alone according to Web technology provider Go Gulf. As online privacy advocates caution, that's a lot of time to be in front of your smartphone, tablet or PC - including many prime opportunities for criminals specializing in identity theft to potentially swipe personal information. According to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), it's actually the number one consumer complaint, with Javelin Research estimating identity fraud costs to Americans at $18 billion alone in 2011. Luckily a few simple steps can help keep you from becoming a victim.How to permanently delete yr FB data
[ UPDATE: A PDF version of these talking points is now available.] For Leadership Day 2012 , I thought I would gather in one place many of the talking points that I use with principals and superintendents about Internet safety… Even though they may use fancy terms and know more than you do about their domain, you never would allow your business manager or special education coordinator to operate without oversight. So stop doing so with your technology coordinator.

I recently spoke at an event in Seattle on the security aspects of Social Media, both from the business and personal perspective. One question which I fielded surrounded whether or not there is risk to children via the various social media networks (i.e., Facebook) or should one accept that if someone really wants to hurt my family they don’t need Twitter to find us. First the observation is absolutely spot-on – a miscreant doesn’t need Twitter or Facebook to find you, there are a myriad of other means available. My response: The reality is that the social networks allow those with malevolent intent to find your family via social networking, a capability that didn’t exist 20 years ago, and this is, therefore, another avenue available to identify and target individuals and their families. Thus, I think each of us should be mindful of the actions we take in sharing our family’s data, and work to bring the odds of something happening to you or your family to as close to zero as possible .
