Who is Responsible?
Every day I have a quick read of the Infosecurity magazine and various other publications. From headlines, to whole articles to white papers. AND every day without fail there is a new emerging threat. Are you prepared in some way, all ways or NO way????
You shop online, it's now par for the course. There are very few people out there that do not take advantage in some way of the "benefits" of online shopping. We enter our card details, home address and sometimes our place of work. It makes sense to have your lovely new shoes delivered to work as you won't be at home take them in. So lets say it's not your computer or place of work that is a target of the online fraudster but the company you have just shopped with, you are exposed they know where you work that you won't be at home and your card details!!!
My problem but not my problem is that what we are thinking... Who has to take responsibility for this occurrence? Large companies do the right thing and apologise advise you to change your password and so on and we accept this, moan a bit accept an early upgrade or somesuch, and then forget all about it.
So a few months down the line your card details have been cloned or you get burgled do we link this back?
We all need to start taking responsibility for our own devices and protecting them, individuals, S.M.E's and large corporate companies. We are all responsible. @harlequincdis can help you. Contact us for a chat in exchange for a decent coffe and we are here to help guide you through.
