Attonment

For me this is the time of the year that I go into reflection mode. This is the time of year that Jews ask tough question about how they are doing in there relationship to g-d. But there is a lesson for all here in regards to information security. We are constantly evolving and changing so a process of continuous monitoring isn't much different to the process of identifying faults in ones self and atoning.

Most organizations are reasonable good at identify cyber incidents but few if any atone for there mistakes to keep them from happening again. Atonement rally is a process of not allowing past transgressions to happen again.

With that said what can you do as a user to make the next 12 months better for your company or organization? To not repeat the information security sins of the past and keep the barbarians at the gate.

Thank you Steve...

Before Steve all computers were these ugly boxes you did work at. Then the iMac came and the entire industry began a 20 year shift to what we have today. Steve Jobs made computing a personal experience and believed in the power that people can have when they have freedom to access information anywhere at any time. I think he leaves the world a better place and hope the team at Apple is up to the challenge of honoring his legacy by pushing computing beyond our wildest imaginations.
