Has anyone tried any of Stealthbits' stuff for this?

Putting the house in order is a great start. However, when dealing with unstructured data, every end-user is a 'cook in the kitchen'. As you point out, in your case the managers of the departments (non IT I take it) are responsible for…

Hi All, We went through some major changes to our data structure fairly recently and decided on the following: Corp Level + Deparrtment Level + Group + Management + Public This was set as the base level structure for all Corp Data. AD Groups were…

I didn't think Windows could do the "A" (I'm thinking sendin me emails when things change). The R is paultry, IMO. I don't like sifting through event logs. I didn't think Windows natively did the "F"…

Assuming you're on Windows, AR and F sounds like a job for auditing object access, along with something like GFI Events Manager to notify you when something interesting happens. (I'm not associated with GFI, other than using their software…

Super. But what tools are available that can BARF? Be aware of who has access to each resource? Alert me when changes to ACLs are made? Report when those objects are being accessed? Fire off notifications when people try to access things they…

Are you SICK of trying to figure out “Whose Data Is It Anyway?”

The other day I met with Anthony Nogueira, President & CEO of SafeSideCompliance . I was introduced to Anthony via one of our customers and in our meeting we discussed what he does to help his customers protect their business sensitive data stored on their file servers.Anthony has many years of experience with technology solutions and is now working with large customers around securing their environments. Since launching SafeSideCompliance,…See More

I think Wesley has excellent points. I'd go on to add: 1) Many of the 'exposures' are pre existing from before "Breaches" were popular, well publicized, and good prevention processes in practice. The volumes of data and the…

In my own experience, it seems to be the following reasons in roughly the following order: 1) It doesn't even occurr to many of us that the problem exists at all, much less on our own networks. 2) It's not perceived to be a threatening…

Protecting Company Data From Rogue Insiders

I just came across (yet another) good article by Kevin Beaver called Tests for securing the internal windows network . Kevin is an independent security expert, so he can’t be blamed for being vendor biased. Interestingly enough, the 1st step out of 3 he lists is “Test for share, directory, and (if needed) file…See More

Adrian Kennard, AAISP's director, did joke about having an IT competency test before you were allowed to become one of their customers (they target the geekier end of the market to say the least)... I reckon it could actually work for them -…

Very cool that they use IRC to keep in contact with their customers!! I might borrow that idea and create some kind of live chat feature for my company users to keep in contact with me. Of course, that could backfire completely and be a massive…

That blog you posted is going to keep me up at night. Sorry :-). One of the things I love about those guys (my home ISP) is that they do at least tell you when things go wrong, what they're doing to fix them, and what happened afterwards. On…

Indeed, as more things are offsited (Yes! Used it twice in one thread!) the internet connection becomes more and more vital. But I wonder if it was ever not vital? Being unable to email the person next to you seems trivial if you can drop the…

Scaling is certainly a big benefit of SaaS (well, really of any centralised system). As is load balancing over time - chances are when you're using it, someone else isn't, so you get a much more steady load on the system as a whole. On…

My post below was being worked on as you posted this. Interesting point about Skype. They probably make money from shady syndicates pumping money into the business to keep the encryption strong and not put in any backdoors. Of course, having said…
