European businesses complacent with sensitive information Posted: 31 Mar 2012 01:49 AM PDT Data breaches will continue to expose European businesses to unnecessary risk and damage business reputations unless action is taken now to improve the management and protection of sensitive business information, reveals a new report by Iron Mountain and PwC. The study highlights an urgent need for a change in employee behaviour and a cultural shift among senior executives if organisations are to overcome the complacency, negligence and lack of shared responsibility uncovered by the study. The report, launched today at Iron Mountain's first European Information Risk Summit, reveals that only around half of mid-sized businesses consider the loss of sensitive information as one of their top three business risks. Less than a quarter (24%) of the companies surveyed were aware as to whether or not they had experienced a data breach in the last three years. A mere 1% of respondents consider information risk to be the responsibility of every employee, while nearly two thirds (60%) conceded that they do not know whether their employees have the right tools to protect information. Marc Duale, President of International at Iron Mountain, said the report was a wake-up call for European businesses: "It is time for businesses to move from a culture [...]

The race is on to solve potential remote working Olympic nightmare Posted: 29 Mar 2012 12:47 PM PDT The disruption that the Olympic Games could cause to London's transport infrastructure, and the resulting effect on businesses and organisations has been well documented and should not be underestimated. We have already seen advice from the Games organisers suggesting that employees should be allowed to work at home during the event. As a result both public and some private sector organisations have started to implement plans and hold practice runs for such an eventuality. However, with so many employees working from home for the first time there is a lot more for organisations to take into consideration than at first glance. As the pressure on public transport and road networks reaches its zenith, it is extremely likely that we will see a dramatic increase in the number of employees who will be working from home, in order to avoid the disruption, particularly in the build up to popular events. However, with such a sudden pressure on organisations' IT networks the chances of a systems crash increases dramatically. Patrick Oliver Graf Sales Director at NCP Engineering believes that businesses must be savvier about how they can prepare for this event: "With so many employees potentially working from home during the Olympic [...]

Information security top of the business training agenda Posted: 26 Mar 2012 11:25 AM PDT Information security training is topping the business agenda across multiple departments according to a list of the 2011 Top 100 course take-ups published by e-learning giant SkillSoft. The 'An introduction to Information security' course was second only to the 'Fundamentals of Networking' in the breakdown of the 100 most popular courses in the IT field, which points to a significant shift in the value businesses are placing on the security of their corporate data. IT is not the only department to place a strong emphasis on information security – the Environment, Safety and Health sector also saw a big pick up in this area. SkillSoft's privacy and information course ranked within the top ten for this department – coming in at number seven. Kevin Young, head of SkillSoft EMEA, is pleased to see that businesses are now taking responsibility for the information they hold. He said: "Information is the lifeblood of any business, so it makes good sense to protect it and ensure that the skills are available to ensure its ongoing integrity. In today's rapidly evolving business climate the volume of data and information is growing by the day, so investing in training is a positive step forward. "When [...]

EU cookie law is bad for the web says 82% of digital marketers Posted: 22 Mar 2012 12:59 PM PDT 82% of digital marketers think the EU cookie law is 'bad' for the web according a recent poll undertaken by Econsultancy, publisher of digital marketing and e-commerce best practice and insight. Econsultancy asked more than 700 marketers for their opinions on the EU e-Privacy Directive, and to find out what preparations have been made for the May 26 deadline for compliance. The Directive makes it compulsory for web users to consent for a website to use or store cookies. Just 18% of respondents think the directive is a positive development for the web. One respondent said: "While I’m all for protecting privacy, the bit of this directive that applies to cookies has been ill thought out and even more badly applied, by someone who doesn’t understand the technology. Rather than try and analyse what cookies are actually intrusive, they’ve just ‘banned’ the lot! The lack of advice or guidance from the EU or Government has made things worse". Another respondent wrote: "There’s total confusion on how to apply it and what it should be applied. There are a few nice implementations, nothing which everyone agrees on which means a disjointed user experience from site to site". 57% of respondents have [...]

UK IT Departments Compromised by Lack of Capacity Posted: 09 Mar 2012 04:36 AM PST MTI, the specialist cloud infrastructure consultancy and integrator has found that 44% of IT professionals working in the UK feel that their team has not been given the capacity to accommodate increased demands placed on them, with only 11% able to say that they are fully resourced. The survey, which canvassed the opinions of over 100 IT professionals from around the UK found that reduction of capex budgets (49%), increasing volumes of data (48%) and demand for new technologies, such as cloud (43%), were among the biggest challenges that IT departments are tackling. The strain on British IT departments is further illustrated by the fact that meeting these increased demands is "significantly eating into the working week" for 50% of respondents, with a further 16% stating that the situation is either "catastrophic" or "overwhelming" and 15% struggling to make ends meet. The result of this is that 41% admit to having to significantly compromise or struggle to provide the service required. 27% feel that adding extra resource to IT departments would allow them to become a strategic tool to make their businesses more competitive, with 53% claiming that customer service would be improved. Richard Flanders, Marketing Director at MTI said: [...]

Lack of understanding acting as main barrier to cloud adoption Posted: 07 Mar 2012 02:55 AM PST Perceived risks over service control and fears over data sovereignty are the key issues that are restricting UK organisations from implementing cloud services, according to recent research from Claranet, the managed services provider. The research polled 300 senior IT decision-makers across a variety of sectors and business sizes and discovered the range of concerns that has led to 32 per cent of respondents delaying procuring cloud services for an average of 12 months. The three main barriers to cloud adoption have been identified as: fears about losing in-house control (46 per cent), confusion as to how cloud could benefit their organisation (43 per cent), and an organisational culture that is not prepared for a new approach to information technology (41 per cent). Michel Robert, managing director at Claranet UK commented: "The given responses as to what is holding back organisations from using cloud can be seen as issues in a range of areas. A lack of understanding amongst the IT decision-makers that we surveyed about the nature of cloud and their ability to control it stands out as the main issue. This puts the onus on service providers such as Claranet to be clear about what cloud services are and [...]
