So, when looking at companies to partner with, work for, and buy from, look for firms where the CEO has taken gender equality as a personal mission. You'll want to see more than lip service, and you can't assume that a woman CEO will be any better than a man in this respect, because the surveys clearly indicate both sexes have been corrupted equally. (Note that currently I'm tracking more male CEOs on this than women CEOs, which is part of the problem.) Assess the diversity and balance of the executive staff, and look for a passion for fairness and change...

The researchers looked into the issue after a 2003 incident in which a colleague's laptop was stolen during a security conference. The hotel staff reportedly had not taken the reported theft seriously, saying there were no signs of forced entry or unauthorized room access Over...

The security skills gap has become a topic of acute interest among practitioners responsible for building security teams for their organizations -- and keeping them running smoothly.

The staff were very nice, but they could not help. The business is a franchise, and there were no rules to help customers in our situation. They suggested I call Massage Envy's customer service. I tried. I checked its website and found no customer service number. The only cu...

CTS Labs is staffed with ex-spies and one ex-spy hedge fund manager. The firm doesn't even appear to have the skills needed (microprocessor engineering) to locate the questionable security exposures that were reported. Apparently, while the security problems were real, their significance was not. The problems paled against the issues reported by more credible firms on Intel's parts back in January. (Intel even faces a class action lawsuit tied to this mess.) ...

Also, they "often use basic, out-of-the-box tools that aren't tuned to their specific business and trends, leaving the door open to fraudsters to initiate heavy and quick attacks that go largely unnoticed until it's too late."

The shooting at the school in Florida was devastating, and it appears clear that Russia has been manipulating public opinion in the U.S. to stoke the flames of a divisive argument on guns. What is being missed is a brewing problem that potentially could have an even more devastating impact. ...

HR and internal audit in firms, both in the tech industry and buying from it, need to be staffed up and missioned both to mitigate or eliminate the behavior and to protect the firm's assets.
