“Clearly cybersecurity is everybody’s problem.”
If you have access to anything that is not publicly available inside and outside of your workplace, then you have some responsibility for keeping it secure. Creating a workplace atmosphere that recognizes that reality is the job of the most senior management. Otherwise, you’ll have a whole bunch of careless people working for you, and handling data.
Who wants that?
The article is right about the fact that the upheaval is going to come faster and be larger than most people have contemplated, and we have no idea how it’s going to play out beyond the fact that there’s going to be a lot less jobs, and we aren’t just talking about blue collar jobs…
Anything the government comes up with might protect workers from being required to work all the time, but the devil in the detail is how to allow workers to choose which hours they do work within that? It gets a bit messy, doesn’t it, and really isn’t that the issue with the government getting involved? It limits the possibilities by putting a defined “work” time, when what is really needed is the flexibility to figure out the best time, and location, that allows a worker to get what needs to be done, done, and still have a life that is outside of work. That’s going to look different for everyone, so there can’t be rules passed down from an outsider, there will need to be an understanding between workers, and management, on what works best for everyone, including when they will disconnect.
That does, of course, require some more effort and imagination. Are you up to it?
We’ve been talking about making the workplace “safe” for a number of years now. First, there were the obvious, physical safety issues, and then the focus on sexual harassment, then on to bullying, and diversity. It’s important. You simply don’t get the best results from employees who don’t feel safe.
And yet, in a time when there is an increasing number of employees dealing with mental health issues, we also need to consider what we do to make sure they feel safe as well, for the same reasons. People who don’t feel safe, will not speak up, will not bring their best work to the table, and might just be looking for a safer work environment.
I thought this quote from a ComputerWorld article really sums up what I’ve been thinking since I moved into Litigation Support and out of a strictly IT job. ?[FRCP] has made their lives incredibly complicated,? Nirken said. IT is now responsible for immediately locating electronic files that ?can exist just about anywhere ? in networks,…
“TwitKu has been totally updated! As you can see, movable and sizable windows is the biggest change. This will make it easier to support “other” networks later.” I suspect when Pownce releases an API, Twitku will be prepared for it. Technorati Tags: Twitku, Pownce Follow these topics: Blogging, Tech
