Is it Time to Unplug From Technology?
14th October 2013
I wrote a few articles earlier this year about why individuals should take time out from using technologies and discussed some of the problems associated with digital addiction and digital distraction. Nine months later I'm still seeing articles about why we should take time out from technology. The latest I read talked about the work/life balance, which I think is an important area not previously discussed.

Combatting Identity Fraud & Online Threats
9th October 2013
If even sophisticated information companies like LexisNexis, Dun & Bradstreet and Kroll can fall victim to cyber attacks who can't? Verizon's latest survey shows that security breaches can take months if not years to discover, and European organisations are concerned that a proposed directive on network & information security will be too slow moving to address the threat. Meanwhile there are plenty of touted solutions - from Gartner, the Cloud Security Alliance and HP Autonomy - with big data analytics playing a key role.

For example, where implementation is a weakness, there are some basic principles that a manager can apply, such as project documentation, setting measurable goals and working towards those goals.
