Hacking - Risk or Opportunity? There's More...
4th July 2013
In further coverage of cyber security risks, and the opportunities they might offer to information professionals, a report from the Financial Times and the Institute of Chartered Secretaries indicates that senior British executives are still ill-informed about the threats, and another from Forbes Insights and Zurich suggests that some American executives are too complacent about them. The problems may also be exacerbated by anti-cyber crime threats to personal privacy (as the European Union data protection supervisor warns) and by growing use of cloud services and mobile devices, with Gartner pointing out that organisations are increasingly responsible for personal data on systems that they don't own.

Hacking - Risk or Opportunity?
28th June 2013
