• Damned Lies..High Stakes

    If IT Managers and CIO’s genuinely fear for their jobs over data breaches, why don’t they demand the resources they believe necessary to mitigate the risk or assign the risk to the asset owners?

  • She’ll be right mate

    A flu sufferer could have taken a preventive strategy with a ten dollar bottle of multivitamins and a three dollar face mask from the local supermarket but instead opted for a more costly visit to a doctor and a course of antibiotics.

    You may have tried to complete one of those larger than life mazes in which the walls of the maze were lined with hedges. There was no way over the hedge, under the hedge or through it so you had to follow the course of the maze using trial and error to forge a path through.
