Cloud Priorities 2015
A good question . . . But my answer might not be broad enough! Another one of those Dan’s New Leaf Posts, meant to inspire thought about IT Governance . . . . The Cloud Computing Association (CCA) is “reaching out” to persons asking their “Top Three Cloud Priorities.” I found that interesting. The e-mail, which […]
Two New Statements, One Read!
Dan gives a quick rundown on the two statements released by the FFIEC on 03/30/15.
Three Quick Ways to Protect Yourself
A Vigilize post . . . Meant for awareness training, feel free to steal for your own awareness content! I have a Client who is big on helping his users “in their personal life.” He has learned that you can get a user’s attention by talking about their home computer systems, smartphone woes, etc. and then […]
Awareness Is Not a Verb!

Hardware vendors . . . low risk?
Dan’s changing is standard response about hardware vendors.
