Most people confuse privacy issues with security. Further, they don't really want privacy, they want convenience and discounted goods. They think they want security, but they actually want "easy" and free. This study done in London determined people will give up their privacy and security for a chocolate bar. A CEO of a major software c

While dissatisfaction with the PCI standards has been simmering for some time, the debate is now boiling over. And not before time. In March, the US House of Reps’ Homeland Security Committee held a hearing as to whether PCI security standards have been effective in reducing cybercrime.

Andrew Haldane's paper "Rethinking the Financial Network" really is an excellent piece and the first convincing explanation of the current financial crisis that I've come across. Highly recommended. In a nutshell, Haldane's argument is simply that the complexity of the global financial industry has increased to such an extent that, like ...

Although the world's financial system is still in dire straits, together with the economies that have been dragged down with them, there seems to be an element of optimism in the air.

I was on CNN this week and CNN also featured Perez Hilton, who was hired by Donald Trump, to judge a beauty contest and Hilton made hateful remarks about Miss Californias beliefs. Perez is a hateful sardonic celebrity critic, and his actions are parallel to others who rant and hate, spew racist comments and even kill. CNN invited me to discuss t

Steven Husk CEO at FRSGlobal
There has been a lot of discussion – and differing opinions - around how risk management must change in light of the financial crisis. But to find the path to recovery, there is perhaps some consensus emerging about what steps risk managers must now take. And with tight deadlines to conquer – such as the FSA’s October deadline for liquidity risk –...

Identity has become complex due to fraud. Fraud, motivated by money, easy credit, and the ease of account takeover. Because identity has yet to be effectively established, anyone can be you. “Identity has yet to be established” is a bold statement that really requires an entire blog post. I’ll explain briefly here and in detail another time. For
