Have you ever wondered what would happen if a key person or system became unavailable? (ScottWright)
posted Fri January 8th 2010 @ 7:03 AM

In almost every organization I've worked in for any length of time, I've heard a comment from somebody like - "If Fred ever got hit by a bus, or decided not to come in one day, we'd be screwed!" (Not that every company I've worked for had somebody important named Fred.) In some cases, "Fred" did give 2 weeks notice, but it put a lot of stress on the organization in order to recover from this perterbation of the business. If you find that your organization has an indispensible person or system, don't assume that "somebody is on top of the issue" or that "things will work out on their own."

So, what should you do to figure out if the organization really is at risk from losing a critical cog in the big machine? Here are a few tips on doing cost-effective "Business Continuity Planning" in a small organization - without a lot of room to put an official program in place. Read More »

The Streetwise Security Edge townhall sessions (ScottWright)
posted Thu December 31st 2009 @ 11:32 AM

With the rapid changes going on in every industry as a result of Web, social media and mobile technologies, it’s clearly hard for many of us to decide how to protect ourselves and our organizations from threats we don't even know exist. Sometimes it simply comes down to knowing what’s going on in the world, and hearing how others are dealing with these new situations. Without that connection, it’s hard to make good risk decisions about our information and systems.

Starting on Monday, January 4^th, I’ll be launching a series of public, weekly live video web-sessions in the Streetwise Townhall facility to discuss current issues in information security. The show is called the “Streetwise Security Edge,” and it will be run as a townhall format. I plan to bring in several guest hosts and will invite audience participation in the chat room. The ultimate duration, scheduling and frequency will be determined based on feedback from the first few weekly sessions. I am also supplementing these public sessions with coaching sessions on specific issues for Business (Premium) and C-Level Management (Exclusive) members of the Streetwise Security Zone. Read More »

Smart Grid Privacy: Possible Privacy Standards To Address Concerns
(Sat, 28 Nov 2009 18:42:04 -0500)

Sorry to be so tardy in getting a blog post out. As many of you know I've been working with the NIST Smart Grid Privacy Subgroup since late June. The work done for this group is through time volunteered by all involved. As a quick recap, I led the privacy impact assessment (PIA) for the consumer-to-utility portion of the planned smart grid during the late June to late August/early September time frame. On Friday, 11/20, I provided an update on our NIST groups activities during the Gridwise Alliance phone conference; perhaps some of you were on that call? Here are some links showing information about our NIST Smart Grid privacy group's work:
