Another ‘Leadership Today’ free monthly E-zine brought to you by Trevor Barre – Life Coach
Issue 12/2001
INFORMATION SECURITY
This month, I would like to take the opportunity to address the need for organisations everywhere to have a good, hard look at their level, or lack of information security. Just this week, yet another worm (virus) attacked PCs around the world, causing havoc.
As a leader, it is our responsibility to set the example, and lead from out in front. Take the time this week to see where you stand individually, and corporately, with such things as:
-Up-to-date Information Security policy -Business Continuity Plans (get top level commitment, initiate the BCM process, identify & manage all risks, develop strategies, etc) -Current anti-virus software, and ongoing subscription -Employee training -Employee Internet access (a huge issue!!) -Firewalls to prevent unauthorised access to your records -Disposal of PCs, and deletion of data.
Please don’t wait until it’s too late. Do it now.
Live on the edge,
Trevor Barre
