DLP
A while back, in another world I was involved in doing a DLP scan of a customer's network. This revealed a number of issues including:
- Credit card numbers inexplicably transmitted in clear text between the organisation and another.
- Spreadsheets sent to Hotmail and other accounts
- PowerPoint presentations sent with embedded Excel spreadsheets containing salary details.
Unfortunately, once the report had been produced, a senior manager instructed us to 'bury' it. He chose to ignore the problems rather than deal with them.
What type of leader are you? Would you deal with such problems or choose to ignore them.....?

10 年This sounds like an issue with the culture of the organisation and no amount of policy, enforcement or technology will fix this issue. Security starts with people.

10 年Placing your head in the sand on any issue related to security is a very foolish thing. Fortunately dinosaurs such as this, as history shows us, will become extinct. We just need the leaders of tomorrow to step up and actually lead. Real leaders aren't put off by adversity, politics or anything else. It's all about achieving results and the best outcome possible.
