Have you considered your overall data security risks?

As unfortunate as it may be, many firms simply select the lowest bidder when it comes to ESI processing and overall management. It's absolutely amazing that some firms would push some of the American economies most valuable and contended trade secrets, human resource data, bank and financial information and more to the lowest bidder, without taking the time and energy to evaluate what the vendor's security practices are.

What is the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPP)?

The NSA knew about the Internet security bug Heartbleed and regularly used it to gather intelligence for at least two years, anonymous sources told Bloomberg.

According to this article at muckrock, the NSA's Freedom of Information Act requests are up over 1000% since the Snowden leaks. I wonder how far this ripple will be felt, in how many ways. All of this, in the middle of a government shutdown. What a show!

Great article over at the Register which illustrates how important it is to mitigate threat with a well developed datacenter solution. As for the boy arrested, he very likely just became the next Kevin Mitnick, sans the 20-odd year illegal jailing :)

Fantastic article with demonstratives over at the washington post detailing how the NSA apparently broke privacy rules thousands of times per year. It's really cool that all this stuff is coming out in a way that the general public can understand.

Great read over at Spiegel discussing something most of us take for granted, the security of our smartphones. In a world of 'Post on Facebook at your own Peril' and 'Sexting', understand that the NSA can easily remote control your device while its in your pocket and perform a number of native functions as if it were in an agents hand.
