Flattery will get you nowhere

2008-04-04 18:00:00 by Stuart King in Stuart King's Security and Risk Management Blog
 
...organisation. I don't think it's an unreasonable question. I'm very selective about what I give my time to - after all I also have a family to keep happy, a full time job, and interests in things other than security (yes - really!). So, when somebody comes to me and says "we'd like you to participate in our event and give a day and a half of...

One word he created (or at least a Witch of his Disk World created) is headology .

...organisation that will know all your contacts and all of their contacts, and all of the information being swapped makes it better. Are you really using Facebook's email service to swap company information? Good grief! Remind me not to use your company if I ever need the type of product you're selling.

Spam - still hard to stomach

2008-04-07 11:46:45 by Stuart King in Stuart King's Security and Risk Management Blog
 
...organisation's email addresses. Total tally is somewhere around 85% and 90% of incoming messages. For other organisations I know the statistics are even higher and teeter between 95% and 98% of all email. Yes - that means only 2% of incoming email for those companies is actually legitimate.

...organisation is a stakeholder in information security, and that most businesses are rubbish at getting the right messages across.
