]]> Comment on The ICO shows its teeth at InfoSecurity Europe by Janice Taylor-Gaines http://blog.diskshred.co.uk/2010/05/11/the-ico-shows-its-teeth-at-infosecurity-europe/comment-page-1/#comment-102 Janice Taylor-Gaines Tue, 11 May 2010 19:30:08 +0000 http://blog.diskshred.co.uk/?p=98#comment-102 In David Scott’s words, everyone needs to be a mini-Security Officer today. I think Mr. Scott, the author, is right: Most individuals and organizations enjoy Security largely as a matter of luck. For some free insight, check out his blog, “The Business-Technology Weave” – you can Google to it, or search on the site IT Knowledge Exchange which hosts it. Anyone else here reading I.T. WARS? I had to read parts of this book as part of my employee orientation at a new job. The book talks about a whole new culture as being necessary – an eCulture – for a true understanding of security, being that most identity/data breaches are due to simple human errors. It has great chapters on security, as well as risk, content management, project management, acceptable use, various plans and policies, and so on. Just Google IT WARS – check out a couple links down and read the interview with the author David Scott at Boston’s Business Forum. (Full title is I.T. WARS: Managing the Business-Technology Weave in the New Millennium). “In the realm of risk, unmanaged possibilities become probabilities.” Great stuff.

Interestingly though the journo stated that his source was not Mr McCrory, so it's not clear what actually happened. The Irish News said Mr McCrory was going to the employment tribunal so maybe that will shed some light on it all.

I think the issue is that Mr McCrory allegedly leaked information about an ongoing investigation – it just so happened to be probing his “inappropriate conduct”. I think in this case it was Mr McCrory who scored an own goal. This one is a real mystery.
