06 Survey sez companies lose 75% of their security devices
Millions of pounds are being wasted every year
recovering and replacing lost physical authentication tokens
as IT professionals admit the ongoing management costs are
huge as users frequently lose them. That's the findings of a
survey recently conducted by SecurEnvoy, who found that a
staggering 12% of companies waste 'months', every year,
recovering and replacing lost physical security tokens. The
survey was conducted amongst 300 IT security professionals
in London.

10 Happy 5th Birthday iPhone
I was out of town last week and missed congratulating
Apple on the 5th anniversary of the iPhone. But I think
this occasion warrants reminding everyone what the analysts
were predicting back then.

11 Quotes: Disraeli, Petit-Senn, Aikman
Desperation is sometimes as
powerful an inspirer as genius.
~ Benjamin Disraeli
You can tell more about a person by what
he says about others than you can by
what others say about him.
~ Leo Aikman
Not what we have But what we enjoy,
constitutes our abundance.
John Petit-Senn
