Reaching the cybersecurity tipping point
[...]you already know that the hard part is figuring out how. + Also on Network World: Security fatigue--or how I learned to overcome laziness and use a password manager + It'd be great if we could schedule the tipping point for our employees. In his book The Tipping Point, Malcolm Gladwell explained just how complicated it is to figure out how ideas or social movements reach a tipping point--let alone to figure out how to engineer a tipping point in the behavior of employees in your organization. Case in point: last month's celebration of Data Privacy Day, when a couple people in my company hit their cybersecurity tipping point. Here's how it went down: I arrived at work early and planted a file folder with (bogus) personal information in an upstairs conference room and a USB drive containing the same bogus data in the downstairs print room.

Security fatigue--or how I learned to overcome laziness and use a password manager
[...]if you've sent a business document to your private email so you can keep working on it at home, you've definitely got it. + Also on Network World: The CSO password management survival guide + You're not alone. Prepare your spouse (optional) If you are in a relationship where you share access to financial information or any form of password-protected information, recognize at the outset that choosing to use a password manager is a major relationship decision, like having children or inviting your mother to live with you.

The silver lining on a ransomware attack
The malware--it turned out to be a form of ransomware called \"Zepto\"--had been contained to a single computer (more on this soon) and the Sales drive. Since all systems had been backed up in the wee hours of that morning, it was simple to recover the systems, run a full network scan, and get everyone back to work. In an all-hands meeting later that day, the company CISO shared the dramatic story of how they managed to avoid a catastrophic infection thanks to employees who reported their concerns and an IT team that had prepared properly and acted quickly in the face of the attack.

Using 'Privacy by Design' Principles to Create a Risk-Aware Culture
Professionals working in privacy or security find their domains coming closer and closer together. Industry associations and their respective conferences -- once focused solely on their own interests (for example, RSA for Security and IAPP for Privacy) -- are now thoroughly interdisciplinary. Surely one of the drivers of this convergence is the Privacy by Design movement, which started in the 1990s and has since taken root in both the privacy and security communities. Privacy by Design is identified as a distinct school of thought with clear organizing principles, while parallel \"security by design\" variants have evolved for designing security into applications. This convergence needs to go even further. While there is emerging consensus that both privacy and security should be \"designed in\" to new products, technologies and services, you won't truly mitigate the risks until you weave privacy and security concerns together into the very fabric of the organizational cultures.
