NEWSCanada looks to up the ante on privacy breach notification Retail
giant TJX, which owns Winners and HomeSense in Canada, made headlines
when it compromised 45.7 million customer accounts. But it also forced
change. Breach notification laws, where businesses are required to
notify clients in the case of a data breach, have been spreading across
the U.S. Now legislative reviews of Canadian laws are heading in the
same direction. Vancouver security specialist named to NERC A risk management program can supply your business with the tools it needs to ensure short-term changes have long-term success. Risk assessment (identifying potential threats) and risk control (identifying means to reduce post-threat loss) combined with the right security experience, intuition, and good management skills will result in a successful risk management program. Tackle fraudsters by nurturing in-house expertise No one really knows the true magnitude of business losses due to fraud, as the vast majority of incidents aren’t reported to authorities. Viewpoint For a couple of decades now many of us in English Canada have been amused, confused, and troubled by the phenomenon of “language policing” in Quebec. How ludicrous - some of us have always thought - to use the power of the state to prosecute people for the “offence” of saying what they mean in English rather than in French. Making the grade on report card security The Toronto Catholic District School Board created its own internal report card application that teachers could access online, but the challenge was getting them to use it securely. Network Defence Are there holes in your network defence strategy? What will you do if your network is hacked? With the potential for harm to your brand, it's no wonder businesses are worried about their data. From hackers to spam to viruses to DoS attacks, your network or website is constantly under attack. We want to hear about your concerns and help provide some answers. Send your burning questions to jbrown@clbmedia.ca and we'll forward them on to DigitalDefence who will answer them in the pages of Canadian Security magazine. Please send as much information as possible to allow DigitalDefence to analyze your question and come up with a detailed answer. The answer will be e-mailed to you directly and later be published in Canadian Security so others may benefit from your experience. Your company name will not be published. We ask that your questions be limited to the field of network security, but other than that, anything's game. Remember: There are no stupid questions, only safer networks. The best three questions will receive an ipod! 2008 Security Director of the Year - Deadline is fast approaching!
Security directors and managers are often the unsung heroes in both the
private and public sector in Canada. With responsibility for an
ever-growing list of people and assets, the job of managing a security
department is becoming one that demands not only a background in
security, but also vital people skills as well as significant business
and technological savvy.
Canadian Security Magazine is now accepting nominations for it's third annual Security Director of the Year award, sponsored by Anixter Canada. We want to find the individual who best exemplifies leadership and vision in the world of corporate security. Do you work with someone who motivates and mentors his or her staff and provides inspiration on the job? Or do you know a colleague who has completed a unique initiative that has produced benefit not only to the security department but the entire company? Let us know. We are asking for specific criteria that will aid the judges in determining the winner. Please submit your nominations here. The deadline is May 30.
