FaceBook Follies
From a purely business perspective, FaceBook makes no sense to me at all. Lemmings the world over are signed up by the millions because to exist in business, it seems mission-critical to be on FaceBook! Really? Apparently, the primary user base is still kids, students, families, budding entrepreneurs and befuddled geniuses... Those demographics should sound the "zero ROI" marketing alarm for any intelligently run business. Sophos's "Security Threat Report 2010" polled over 500 firms, 60% of whom responded that they believed that FaceBook was the social network that posed the biggest threat to security. That's aside from the billions of dollars of lost productivity!

Click Jacking is a technique used by the Internet Hackers in redirecting the traffic from your intended web site to another website which has the ability to infect you.
MORE HACKING. WHEN WILL IT STOP?
The simple answer? It won't. To paraphrase Willie Sutton, bank robber, "That's where the money is." PBS, Sony, Lockheed, Amazon, IMF, US Senate, etc., all announced in 2011 that their systems were hacked. Security specialists are now calling 2011 the year of the hacker.

Recently, the DOD announced that cyber attacks can now be regarded as a military attack with the recourse being military ordnance.
Email marketing is a waste of time and money
Not for reason you might think. Internet security or the lack there of, has made users suspicious and distrustful to all unsolicited emails. Let’s first take the argument from the personal perspective. We all have been hit with spam in our email accounts. We may have also experiences are own email address being hijacked by email spoofers. All with the intent to get the recipient to click a link or open a file to start the process of identity theft.

The Train Keeps on Rolling ...
There's the "imminent" threat to American economic pre-eminence from China and India. There was a similar, "on our last legs" threat 25 years ago from Japan.

Creating Healthy Work Environments
We want security and we want it everywhere. As a nation, we’re focused on national security. We schlep to work everyday for financial security. Once we get there we work hard to prove ourselves hoping for job security. We have lifestyles we want to secure and we look for it in our relationships. We secure our buildings, our computers, our accounts and our valuables. But we never seem to notice that the security people feel inside is often the least secure thing of all. Instead we install more alarms, add to our nest eggs and write new laws to protect our assets, our futures and our loved ones, when what we really need to do to make better, healthier companies is exert as much energy securing ourselves internally as we do our external environments and circumstances.
POS Security for Productivity
