		<description><![CDATA[I was recently reminded how easy one can become focused on a single, technical solution to a problem and completely miss process or people solutions.  With the pressure of a fast-paced environment and constantly changing priorities, technically oriented people will often fall back on their bread-and-butter to churn out a quick solution.  I&#8217;m guilty of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A June 8 Bloomberg Businessweek article noted that publicly traded companies have started including the &#8220;material risk&#8221; of computer attacks in their SEC filings.  It&#8217;s interesting to see the admission of some major companies that the threat of targeted attacks can impact the bottom line. In what will undoubtedly become the trend in risk reporting [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I guess that headline wouldn&#8217;t sell too many papers but in most cases this is the reality that drives many decisions related to information security investment.  For most executives, the sky isn&#8217;t always falling and a security team that tries to operate under that premise is soon thought of as the Boy Who Cried Wolf.  [...]]]></description>
