What To Do When Employees Screw Up Security

Eweek has a "Top Ten" article, on how employees can screw with your security. There are no surprises in the list and there aren't many suggestions on what to do about these risks, so we'll fill in here.

For mobile device security check out this podcast and the article 5 Issues to Consider with Mobile Device Encryption. As for virtual worlds - see the Online Gaming article in the Web library. There are more articles on a related topics. For an overview of some recent trends in information security see the Sage Report from McAfee Avert Labs.
