INSERT INTO `impact` VALUES ('Serrallés Finds New Blue Skies in the Clouds with SaaS','Destilería Serrallés','2011-11-10','Serrallés is the oldest and most respected name in manufacturing in Puerto Rico. The family-owned business that started in 1865 is best known for its flagship product, Don Q Rum, which to this day is the largest selling rum on the island market. \r\n\r\nThe company currently produces over 60 percent of the rum sold in Puerto Rico. Rum, however, is no longer its only product. Today, Empresas Serrallés, Inc, the parent company of Destilería Serrallés, has become a large industrial and marketing enterprise that produces and distributes over 80 different product lines. \r\n\r\nLikewise, being among the 100 oldest companies in America, has not kept the Serrallés management from embracing change and applying new technologies in order to improve efficiency and competitiveness as a diversified company with several distinct core profit centers in different industries. Xtrategit is pleased to be working side-by-side with key Serrallés managers in the business transformation of the company, which includes among other things the implementation of a SaaS system. The application of that system immediately saved the company $3 million over the cost of a comparable on-premise solution.\r\n\r\n<b>Reengineering the Business Process</b>\r\n\r\n“We initiated a relationship in February 2008, where we partnered with Serrallés on business strategy initiatives,” recalls Eliud Gerena, Xtrategit’s Project Senior Manager. “Our next step was to work with Serrallés on transforming the business processes and we developed best practice functional books by business area by September 2009. This second engagement also enabled us to assist in the contract negotiation and selection of the right vendor for Serrallés by December 2009.”\r\n\r\nCurrently, Gerena notes, the engagement is in the ERP project implementation phase with Xtrategit assisting in project management, configuration, testing, change management and continuous process improvement efforts.\r\n\r\n“We have successfully delivered implementation of the system for Serrallés USA, Serrallés Environmental Technologies, which are important subsidiary operations, and the ‘Procure-to-Pay’ process for Serrallés Puerto Rico,” Gerena explains. “We are in the process of finalizing the implementation for the ‘Order-to-Cash and Production’ linkages for Serrallés Puerto Rico, which is scheduled to be done by the end of this year.\r\n\r\n<b>New Systems for 2012</b>\r\n\r\n“In 2012, we will be working on the application of new systems for maintenance, quality control, fixed asset management, human resources and business intelligence, as well as the injection of new business processes and functionality for Serrallés USA and the implementation of new systems for Serrallés Hotel and Real Estate companies,” Gerena reports. The company acquired the Ponce Hilton and Casino in 2000 and has a real estate operation based in Tampa, Florida.\r\n\r\nSerrallés USA is the marketing and distribution arm of Destilería Serrallés on the U.S. mainland with headquarter offices in Dallas, Texas. The division is responsible for capturing a larger share of the U.S. spirits market for the Don Q brand. It began operations in the summer of 2009 as the management team launched its search to enter cloud computing through the application of a SaaS system. “We have grown our volume from 40,000 cases in 2008 to 200,000 in 2011,” Dr. Roberto J. Serrallés, Vice President for Risk Management & Business Development at the parent company recently told an interviewer regarding the mainland operation.\r\n\r\n<b>Substantial Savings</b>\r\n\r\nDr. Serrallés, who represents the fifth generation of dedication to the family-owned business, obtained his doctorate in environmental sciences at the University of Oregon. He applied that discipline to the establishment of the Serrallés Environmental Technologies subsidiary, which has successfully implemented a wastewater-to-energy facility that produces essentially all the electricity and steam vapor required at the distillery. \r\n\r\nThe flexibility to take advantage of opportunities to diversify and grow in new areas will be greatly enhanced when all management teams from each department, division and subsidiary can rely on the same information and reporting across all business lines. That, according to Gerena, is the ultimate goal of the application of SaaS at Serrallés and the total cost of the system will be significantly lower on the cloud than owning the systems outright.\r\n','serralles-logo-2.jpg','218445315886'),('Streamlined Permitting','Government of Puerto Rico','2011-12-14','The overhaul of Puerto Rico’s permitting system is reportedly moving ahead as planned, substantially increasing the number of permits granted to businesses by a growing force of highly trained specialists in this process.\r\n\r\nThe new Permit Management Office (OGPe) has managed 89% of the approximate 50,000-plus permits and recommendations requests it has received over the past year.\r\n \r\nXtrategit Corporation was strategically involved in the transformation of the permit management system, structuring the consolidation of more than 20 government agencies into a one-stop shop that streamlined the system into three new permitting operations.\r\n\r\nXtrategit Corporation’s support led to the successful launch of more efficient agencies in less than a year. During that period, through the development of a Project Management Office (PMO), Xtrategit Corporation helped define a strategic framework and business processes for transformation, technical, budget, financial and organizational structures.\r\n\r\nPrior to the inauguration of the new permitting agencies, Xtrategit Corporation completed the digitalization of 10 years’ worth of construction plans archived by Puerto Rico’s permit agency. These documents were indexed and registered using Alfresco, a software on the forefront of current document management applications. This enabled the access and integration of construction plans through the new permitting system, and freed office space for new agency operations.\r\n\r\nClose to $550 million have been registered in approved construction permits in 2011 and the average processing time has been substantially reduced to adapt to the requirements of Law 161, which calls for permits to be issued within 90 days for most companies and within 60 days for small and mid-sized businesses. The novel technology system allows for full online application and follow-up of over 40 permit related services, including the submission of construction plans certified with a digital signature, as well as the functionality for authorized professionals and authorized inspectors to process permits and certifications.','SIP-logo.jpg','87021361751'),('Taking “PR.gov” Out of the Box','Government of Puerto Rico','2011-12-09','Want to file a tax return? There’s an app for that. Need a license for your business? There’s an app for that and how about filing for a permit? There’s an app for that, too.\r\n\r\nThese are just a few of the programs now available by the Puerto Rico government through its online service, “pr.gov,” which is expected to get more than 3.5 million hits by the end of 2011. More than 70 new online applications for business will be rolled out in the near future.\r\n\r\nThe effort to transform how people and businesses interact with the local government began in 2009 with the creation of the Puerto Rico office of the Chief Information Officer.\r\n\r\nXtrategit Corporation consultants were instrumental in the design of the digitalization strategy and guided a pilot project that established the Puerto Rico Treasury Department’s business licensing process.','','387659616505'),('Improving Customer Flow Management at SRM','XT Staff','2012-05-17','The Puerto Rico Teachers Retirement System (SRM) has been managing the retirement benefits of Puerto Rico’s public school teachers for over 60 years. With a growing number of customers to serve, including active teachers, retired teachers and their beneficiaries, the SRM has implemented a number of IT initiatives as part of an on-going effort to improve key business processes.\r\n\r\nXtrategit worked with SRM in the development of a customized customer service queuing system to streamline the office visit waiting-time and servicing process at SRM’s six locations across the island. This project also helped SRM to standardize customer service processes across all locations and provided management with real-time performance metrics. This collaboration led to the successful go-live of the queuing system at SRM’s San Juan office in a record 6-week period.\r\n\r\nThe new queuing system integrates performance reports that allow the agency to: \r\n  •   keep track of customer flow per type of service and per time of day, \r\n  •   compare wait-time, service-time and customer volume,\r\n  •   and monitor customers served, services offered and service-time per employee.\r\n\r\nNow, these reports play a critical role in customer flow management at SRM. In the first two weeks post go-live, customer wait-time averaged 29 minutes, while service-time averaged 33 minutes. As a result, the SRM is better positioned to set realistic goals and execute targeted improvements to their customer service operations.','SRM-Logo-Border_Small.jpg','548085325886'),('Transformation of Child Support Enforcement Administration’s ','ASUME','2012-08-28','Xtrategit successfully transformed ASUME’s records management system from a paper-based process to an electronic records management system by implementing a high-quality digitalization process at record-breaking productivity rates using our project management expertise.  Xtrategit’s team digitalized 4.7 million images or pages that formed part of ASUME’s records across 10 regional offices within a 6-month period.  In 1975 the U.S. government created the Child Support Program to enforce compliance of support payments required by parents. In the past, case records had been maintained in a paper-based system resulting in lost and stolen records, inefficient use of space, unproductive use of Case Manager’s time, difficulties during federal audits, and poor customer service. The digitalization project required intense project management expertise to ensure high-quality images at a productivity rate of 24,000 images digitalized daily.  ASUME’s records were reviewed by our team to eliminate duplicated paper and indexed using a records management system that allows for secure, quick and easy access within a centralized records management system.\r\n\r\nThe digitalization project resulted in numerous benefits for ASUME, including:\r\n\r\n1. a centralized records management system that could be accessed easily from any of its 10 regional offices, \r\n2. improved security of electronic records and sensitive information, \r\n3. improved program management and potential for increased allocation of federal funds,\r\n4. improved use of space and resources, \r\n5. improved utilization of Case Manager’s time and increased focus on value-added activities, \r\n6. improved customer service, and \r\n7. reduced costs related to managing the records. \r\n\r\nDue to the successful implementation of this project ASUME is now able to manage a secure and centralized electronic records system enabling an on-line federal audit process.  This project has served as a model for other government agencies and is an initial step to achieving the government’s objective of transforming all agencies to an electronic record management system. \r\n\r\n\r\n','ASUME.png','64580112131');

Digital consulting is blurring delivery channels, expanding across client functions, driving acquisitions of digital and design agencies, injecting more agility into consulting playbooks, and notching double-digit growth rates. Annual digital consulting service revenues are projected to increase more than 12 percent this year, according to ALM Intelligence; that’s more than twice the 4.7 percent projected annual growth rate for all overall, global consulting services.\r\n\r\nThis demand has firms scrambling to define, structure, expand, deploy and differentiate their digital-consulting offerings.

It’s called autonomic computing. Imagine the implications of self-managed systems. That’s where we’re heading, according to the experts. IBM is credited with starting the process in 2001.\r\n\r\nToday, many researchers are actively engaged in seeking the synergies between computer systems, there architecture, databases and networks with machine learning, control theory and bio-inspired computing in order to come up with computer systems capable of managing themselves.\r\n\r\nIt is generally agreed that before autonomic computing enables us to sit back and let the machines ask and answer the relevant questions that govern productive enterprise, we need to be more proficient in tapping the computer resources currently available on the cloud for greater efficiencies and savings.\r\n\r\n<b>The Hot Buttons of Cloud Computing</b>\r\n\r\nBy all accounts cloud computing has become the hot button of information technology with the potential to make managing business processes easier and less costly. Cloud computing essentially enables end-users, especially businesses that want to keep the lid on their IT expenses, with the ability to pick and choose applications off the Internet.\r\n\r\nInfoWorld, the leading IT tracker for professionals, talked to dozens of vendors, analysts, and IT customers to check out the various components of cloud computing. Here\'s a thumbnail sketch of what the trade journal found to be hot in cloud computing for business:\r\n\r\n<b>SaaS:</b>  \r\nThis type of cloud computing delivers a single application through the browser to thousands of customers using a multitenant architecture. On the customer side, it means no upfront investment in servers or software licensing; on the provider side, with just one app to maintain, costs are low compared to conventional hosting.  \r\n\r\n<b>Utility computing:</b>\r\nThe idea is not new, but this form of cloud computing is getting new life from Amazon.com, Sun, IBM, and others who now offer storage and virtual servers that IT can access on demand. Early enterprise adopters mainly use utility computing for supplemental, non-mission-critical needs, but one day, they may replace parts of the datacenter \r\n\r\n<b>Web services in the cloud:</b>  \r\nClosely related to SaaS, Web service providers offer APIs that enable developers to exploit functionality over the Internet, rather than delivering full-blown applications. They range from providers offering discrete business services -- such as Strike Iron and Xignite -- to the full range of APIs offered by Google Maps, ADP payroll processing, the U.S. Postal Service, Bloomberg, and even conventional credit card processing services.\r\n\r\n<b>Platform as a service:</b>  \r\nAnother SaaS variation, this form of cloud computing delivers development environments as a service. You build your own applications that run on the provider\'s infrastructure and are delivered to your users via the Internet from the provider\'s servers. \r\n \r\n<b>MSP (managed service providers):</b>  One of the oldest forms of cloud computing, a managed service is basically an application exposed to IT rather than to end-users, such as a virus scanning service for e-mail or an application monitoring service (which Mercury, among others, provides). \r\n','In-the-Cloud.jpg','939042716081'),('Mobility Complicates Security','XT Staff','2012-08-28','Current policy objectives of the government of Puerto Rico look forward to a major increase in the island’s telecom infrastructure to stimulate economic development and employment.\r\n\r\n“The infrastructure of the 21st century will be less about roads, highways, ports and airports,” Juan Eugenio Rodriguez, the chief information officer (CIO) of Puerto Rico recently told Caribbean Business. “It will be about creating the digital infrastructure on the island that will open the door to economic growth and development.”\r\n\r\nThe plan, according to the Puerto Rico Broadband Task Force, is to have 98 percent of homes on the island hooked up to the internet through broadband connections by 2014. Labor experts predict that such growth will prospectively make the telecom industry the fastest growing segment of the local economy in terms of jobs, adding 2,199 positions or 22.13 percent by 2018. Moreover, it will make Puerto Rico more competitive with the U.S. and other countries that are increasingly relying on mobile connectivity to conduct business and generally communicate. \r\n\r\nExponential growth in the global use of mobile devices (smart phones and tablets) to conduct business communications and transmit sensitive information has sharply increased the concerns of IT security experts, who see such devices as being much more vulnerable, even if only because they greatly expand the access points to proprietary information. Enterprises are, therefore, looking for new approaches to protect their sensitive data. \r\n\r\nAs Puerto Rico crosses over the digital divide to fully realize the potential of mobile communications, IT specialists, such as Xtrategit, will point out the pitfalls and find cost effective solutions for its clients.\r\n','','560857113867'),('Why you should be spending more on security',' Paul Rubens','2015-04-01','Many CIOs endanger their companies simply by not spending enough on security.\r\n\r\nThat may seem odd to posit, given that a recent Pricewaterhouse Coopers survey found that businesses now spend a higher percentage of their IT budgets on security than ever before. According to the survey, large organizations spend an average of 11 percent of their IT budgets on security while small businesses spend nearly 15 percent.\r\n\r\nstate of cios\r\nState of the CIO 2015\r\nMore than 500 top IT leaders responded to our online survey to help us gauge the state of the\r\nREAD NOW\r\nBut if you consider the proportion of the overall IT budget that businesses allocate to security, you’ll find a red herring. That\'s because the purpose of spending money on IT security — aside from ticking regulatory compliance boxes — is to reduce the risk of a security breach to an acceptable level. The amount of spending required to achieve this is not connected to overall IT spending in any way.\r\n\r\nHow to assess risk\r\n\r\nIn the most basic terms, security risk is the product of the cost or financial impact of a security breach and the likelihood that a breach occurs. In other words, Risk = Cost x Likelihood.\r\n\r\n\r\n[Related: 9 biggest information security threats for the next two years ]\r\n\r\nIt was using this equation that led Sony\'s senior vice president of information security, Jason Spaltro, to point out back in 2007 that \"it’s a valid business decision to accept the risk\" of a security breach, adding, \"I will not invest $10 million to avoid a possible $1 million loss.\"\r\n\r\nSony may have made some spectacular miscalculations in terms of cost and likelihood, but Spaltro\'s economic argument for allocating resources to security is sound: There is no point in making any investment — in security or anything else — if the greatest possible return is less than the amount invested.\r\n\r\nBut let\'s get back to the initial idea that companies don’t spend enough on security. What the Sony security breach taught us is that most companies wildly underestimate the likelihood of a breach in their future.\r\n\r\nSony bases its estimates on events from the past; but in recent months, it\'s become evident that the security landscape has fundamentally changed.\r\n\r\nIn the past, most security breaches were carried out by criminal hackers with limited resources, motivated by financial gain. This meant that their targets would yield financially valuable spoils such as credit card details, and if a target\'s defenses were too troublesome to overcome, the hackers would simply move on to another promising target with less-effective defenses.\r\n\r\nRESOURCES \r\n\r\nWHITE PAPER\r\nBest Defense: Effective Cyber Security for S&L\r\n\r\neGuide: Security\r\nSEE ALL  Go\r\n[Related: The things end users do that drive security teams crazy ]\r\n\r\nIn the same way that if you’re chased by a bear, it\'s only necessary to run faster than your buddy, having reasonable security measures in place was enough for many companies to ensure that hackers would move on and attack someone else.\r\n\r\nHacks become government work\r\n\r\nThe Sony attack was likely carried out by foreign-government-sponsored hackers or perhaps even military personnel, according to James Lewis, a security expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, D.C.\r\n\r\nThese types of attackers are highly skilled and have enough resources to breach any security defense they want to. And because it seems that they are motivated beyond money—such as the desire to cause financial or reputation damage, for example—there is no strong incentive for them to move on to the next target unless the defenses they encounter are high.\r\n\r\n\"Criminals are opportunistic. They just want to make money. But government-sponsored hackers will just keep trying and won\'t give up,” Lewish says. “The Sony hackers were vindictive. This was not done for money—it was politically motivated, and there was no effort made to sell the data they stole.\"\r\n\r\nPOPULAR ON CIO.COM\r\nsamsung galaxy note 4 apple iphone 6\r\n6 things Galaxy Note 4 does that iPhone 6 can\'t\r\niPhone 6 and Galaxy Note 4\r\n6 things iPhone 6 does that Galaxy Note 4 can\'t\r\nfree online tech courses\r\n8 Free Online Courses to Grow Your Tech Skills\r\nIf hackers can breach any company regardless of its current defenses and they’re interested in getting their hands on everything—not just data they can sell—then the likelihood of a breach has gone up.\r\n\r\nBut it gets worse. The Sony hack has also taught us that the potential cost of a breach has risen. That\'s because government-backed hackers aren\'t looking to steal structured data, such as credit card information or social security numbers. The cost of losing this type of information is well known, and averages $201 per compromised record, according to the Ponemon Institute\'s 2014 Cost of Data Breach study.\r\n\r\nSince hackers may be motivated by scoring political points or causing a company embarrassment, these hackers look to steal and expose unstructured data, such as emails and other documents. Losing this type of data can lead to a drop businesses due to loss of reputation; senior executive resignations, as was the case in the Sony hack due to bad publicity; and legal headaches when confidential information is made public, such as pay differentials for male and female employees who do the same job.\r\n\r\n\"If you look at liability and the cost of lawsuits, this always turns out to be the most expensive part of a breach,\" Lewis says.\r\n\r\nBecause Risk = Cost x Likelihood, and since both the likelihood and cost terms have gone up, risk has increased on both fronts.\r\n\r\n\r\nThe purpose of investing in security measures is to manage security risk and ensure that it is reduced to an acceptable level. But what we\'ve learned from the Sony hack is that the risk is actually higher than we previously believed. To reduce it to an acceptable level requires more investment in IT security.\r\n\r\n\"I think that most organizations should be spending more on security, but obviously the concern is that even if there is a 5 percent increase in the security budget, it doesn\'t mean it will be spent wisely,\" says Rick Holland, a security and risk management analyst at Forrester Research. \"One of the biggest problems is chasing silver bullets—buying the soup du jour.\"\r\n\r\nIf government-sponsored hackers can break in to any company\'s IT infrastructure, then increasing spending on perimeter defenses may not be the right route. A more promising approach might be to invest in more effective intrusion detection systems to prevent hackers from exfiltrating data after they have broken in, according to Anton Chuvakin, research director at Gartner.\r\n\r\nWait ... there\'s good news\r\n\r\nThe good news is that there is new security technology on the horizon, and some of it looks like it will be a worthwhile investment. “Cutting-edge technologies show genuine promise and are already being used by enlightened companies,\" Chuvakin says. \"Analytics may give a huge boost to defenders, as well as machine learning and threat intelligence. It\'s too early to say \'buy this and you\'ll win, but there is definitely light at the end of the tunnel.\"','','24374422712'),('In the News | Xtrategit Strikes Gold in Tech-Savvy Consulting','Caribbean Business','2011-11-03','Xtrategit has been recently covered in the news on some of our success stories, as well as our plans for growth within and beyond Puerto Rico.

Certainly, companies competing in Puerto Rico, with its relatively fixed consumer market size as an island, could benefit from a strategy that essentially focuses on creating new demand for a product or service, instead of going after a larger piece of the same pie.\r\n\r\nThe “Blue Ocean Strategy” was expressed by W. Chan Kim and Renée Mauborgne in a book published in 2005. They oppose that tomorrow’s leading companies will succeed not by battling competitors, but by creating “blue oceans” of uncontested market space ripe for growth. A well known example of this is Cirque du Soleil, which transformed from a stagnant industry (traditional circus) and has created a new uncontested market space in the entertainment business with unprecedented growth and profitability.\r\n\r\n<b>Four Steps to a “Blue Ocean Strategy”</b>\r\n\r\nThe approach follows four basic steps to success that any company can initiate.\r\n\r\n1)  Eliminate factors that the industry (whatever it may be) takes for granted but adds no perceived value to customers.\r\n2)  Reduce factors well below the industry’s standard to avoid the mistakes of over delivering in order to beat the competition.\r\n3)  Raise factors well above the industry’s standard so your customer won’t have to make compromises.\r\n4)  Create new sources of value that the industry has never offered.','','27380319140'),('In the News | Spelling Out New Meanings for Strategy Since 2001','Caribbean Business','2011-11-17','Gerardo Martinez, president of Xtrategit Corporation, was selected as one of the 14 Most Influential Businessmen in Puerto Rico in a Special Report by Caribbean Business (November 17, 2011 edition).

Technology diversification has become a “hot button” of IT management because of its impact on growth. Essentially, experts agree, technology diversification creates a potential for growth by holding down costs and increasing revenues.\r\n\r\nThe topic of technology diversification has been extensively studied throughout the industrialized world, at companies large and small and most researchers have found that technology management should be geared to reaping both economies of scale and of scope through, among other things, communication and coordination, external technology sourcing and internal technology transfer and cross-fertilization.\r\n\r\nSeparating the wheat from the chaff when it comes to technology diversification is more difficult than it would first appear. The proliferation of technology at every level of operations has, therefore, led IT executives to increasingly search for ways to optimize its benefits. Just how and when a company should diversify its technology is the important question to ask. Most experts agree that a balanced approach is the best way to go. That’s where Xtrategit can help.','','863386928171'),('Turning IT into Greater Profit','XT Staff','2012-05-17','The decision to invest in IT usually first focuses on the cost saving advantages that can be realized. A recent study, however, suggests that the direct impact of an IT investment on profits should be given equal or even greater importance by companies. The findings, reported in the MIT Sloan Management Review (Spring 2012 edition), say, in part, that executives “should accord higher priority to IT projects that have the potential for revenue growth.”\r\n\r\nThe research found that IT investments had a greater impact on profits than expenditures in either advertising or R&D among its universe of more than 400 global companies. The reason, they conclude, is “because IT involves novel technologies that offer more room for creativity and innovation.” The researchers, a team of academics, also noted that “most businesses already know how to manage advertising and R&D to their best advantage, but only some have mastered managing IT.”\r\n\r\nThe implication for CEOs is clear. They need to take a balanced approach to encourage and implement IT strategies that not only increase efficiencies and cut costs, but also serve to energize sales growth and profitability. \r\n\r\nREAD MORE: http://sloanreview.mit.edu/the-magazine/2012-spring/53302/the-impact-of-it-investments-on-profits/','','826157329394'),('The Goldilocks Dilemma: Too Much Cybersecurity Or Too Little?','Forbes','2014-03-18','Cybersecurity continues to be a hot topic these days, but it’s unclear whether CIOs are doing too much or too little to tackle the problem. Sometimes it seems as though enterprises are developing the same attitude about breaches that Californians have about earthquakes – sure, we’re vulnerable, but what are the chances of it shaking really, really bad right where I’m standing?\r\n\r\n\r\nConsider this piece in Wired last week from Sonali Shah, vice president of products at BitSight Technologies, which company claims to provide ratings for technology risk the way a company like Dun & Bradstreet might provide credit ratings for financial risk. She writes of a real Goldilocks dilemma – some people think cybersecurity efforts are too soft, while others think they’re too hard. She cited his own company’s February 2013 survey, which found that “82% of the 460 companies assessed had an externally observable security compromise in 2013.”\r\n\r\n(As a skeptical journalist – especially one who’s done a lot of research in the governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) space – I wonder what constitutes “an externally observable security compromise.”)\r\n\r\nOn the other side of the bed, Shah cited three other recent surveys, done variously by consulting groups, analysts, and magazines focusing on security, revealing that sound majorities of executives, from both business and IT, from C-level down to directors, are confident with their companies’ security posture.\r\n\r\nFurther confusing the too-hard/too-soft issue: what’s the real weak link in enterprise security? Clearly, as retailer Target’s recent travails have shown, malware is an issue. But as Ken Hess pointed out on ZDNet last month, uneducated employees cause more damage than malware. He cited a survey by Globalscape (again, a developer of “secure information exchange solutions”) noting that “63% of employees use remote storage devices to transfer confidential work files,” among other horrifying statistics.\r\n\r\nReports like this also bring up the ignorance versus apathy question. Do users not know about security policies or simply don’t care? The survey results also note these hair-raising statistics:\r\n\r\n52 percent said it’s more convenient to use a tool that they know well\r\n33 percent reported that recipients have had trouble accessing files sent through the company system\r\n18 percent said they use alternatives [for mobile devices] because the company’s tool does not offer mobile access\r\n\r\nTargeting your employees for education may not only be financially prudent but also fruitful. George Grachis, information systems security manager for Satcom Direct, a global satellite company, writes in CSO last week of the importance of what he calls “human sensors.” Use your employees to flag issues, focusing on education: “Reach out to them in a monthly newsletter, cover topics in a web based format with interactive videos and one single topic like phishing, mobile malware, or data privacy. … Be creative and show passion for cyber security, it will get users excited about learning.” (For more tips, see also this CIO article from last month on testing the security savvy of your staff.)\r\n\r\nUnfortunately, the answer to what’s “just right” in terms of cybersecurity defenses remains elusive. Is it technology or education, or both? Finding that balance requires many interlocking steps: acknowledging that there is a problem, acknowledging that there are multiple ways to tackle the problem, and working to make protection part of the business process rather than an annual optional seminar. It’s not easy, but the alternative may be coming to work one day and finding that someone has been sleeping in your data.','','46879048031');
