Is anyone getting information security right?
In this issue's editor's note, I mention the spectacular failure on the part of prominent retailers (like TJX, which exposed at least 45 million records), government agencies (just this Saturday, the Transportation Safety Administration admitted to losing a laptop containing Social Security numbers and other personal data on 100,000 of its employees), and other organizations at preventing information theft--despite the compliance mandate to do so.
Will emerging best practices in data governance help organizations get their arms around the information security problem (not to mention other compliance-related issues)? With companies already facing public outcries, fines, and even jail-time for executives, what's it going to take to get businesses and vendors to plug the information leaks?
These are not rhetorical questions. If you have answers, let's hear them. Read the compliance and security articles, ponder my questions, and comment away.
