A Global Index
To Track Security Fears
Technology consultant Unisys Corp. has begun regular
polling of consumers around the world to find out what they view as the
most serious threats to their security.
Unisys will use results of the three-times-a-year consumer surveys to
create the Unisys Security Index, a standard to measure consumer
perception of threats. The index will help Unisys with its own business,
as well as offer insight to its clients in the public and private
sectors, Tim Kelleher, vice president of enterprise security, told Dow
Jones Newswires.
The index includes not only consumer opinions on IT security, but on
national security, financial and personal security.

CDW-G Releases
Annual Higher Education IT Security Report Card
CDW Government Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of CDW
Corp. and source of Information Technology (IT) solutions to governments
and educators, has released the results of its third annual Higher
Education IT Security Report Card, a national survey that asks higher
education IT directors and managers to rate the state of IT security and
the support they receive from constituents on their campuses. The 2007
report provides three-year trend data along with additional insights on
increasingly complex campus security issues such as converged IT and
physical security solutions.
According to the Privacy Rights Clearinghouse, there have been 148
publicly-disclosed data breaches at colleges and universities since
2005. While some incidents are unintentional, such as a data file posted
to a public Web site, hacker activity and malicious attacks account for
much of the data loss.

Copper Theft
Still A Rising Problem For States
Unprecedented copper thefts have spurred a crackdown
to stop the damage, as at least 16 states have passed or proposed new
laws, and businesses have boosted security and offered bounties for
information on the thieves, reports USA Today.
The crackdown comes as losses to businesses hover around $1 billion, the
U.S. Department of Energy reports, and as escalating thefts have
disrupted the flow of electricity, slowed construction projects and
knocked out irrigation networks crucial to commercial farms.
Seizing on rising worldwide demand and surging value for the popular
metal -- up from 80 cents per pound in 2003 to about $3.50 this year
-- thieves sell stolen copper for millions of dollars in cash, state
and federal authorities say.

Manufacturers
Collaborate With Partners via Non-Secure Channels
High-tech manufacturing firms not only are
collaborating with value chain partners through non-secure
communications tools, such as Web e-mail and personal instant messaging,
they also have serious concerns about the potential for loss of
intellectual property, reports a new survey from Microsoft Corp.
The Microsoft Collaboration in High-Tech Manufacturing Survey 2007,
conducted by Washington, D.C.-based KRC Research and commissioned by
Microsoft, found that 78 percent of business decision-makers (BDMs, such
as directors of supply chain) and 85 percent of technology
decision-makers (TDMs, such as chief intelligence officers and IT
managers) at high-tech firms reported they had used at least one of a
number of non-secure public communications tools to collaborate with
partners. More importantly, the survey found that product plans,
technical data and other proprietary information were sent using those
tools.
