UK Research
Finds Civilians Against Audio Surveillance
In Great Britain, where surveillance is prevalent as a
crucial part of everyday security, the Information Commissioner's Office
(ICO) has submitted research revealing that seven out of 10 individuals
oppose the idea of CCTV cameras that record their conversations.
A new CCTV code of practice, launched by the ICO, describes the use of
sound recording as "highly intrusive" and warns organizations that its
use would ever be justified only in highly exceptional circumstances.
The code of practice outlines the key issues that organizations and
businesses must consider when routinely capturing images of individuals
on their CCTV equipment.

Survey Reveals
Need For Security In Technology, Media Sectors
Technology, media and telecommunications (TMT)
businesses must increase their security efforts and investments
according to the 2007 TMT global security survey, "Treading Water," from
Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu (DTT). The survey indicates that when it comes
to security and privacy, the majority of TMT companies find themselves
"treading water." Despite increased security investments, many are just
managing to keep pace with the growing threats. In order to get in front
of the problem, TMT businesses must increase their security efforts and
investments.
For the second year, Deloitte conducted an in-depth survey of security
practices at more than 100 TMT organizations around the world. The
global survey respondents included TMT companies from across all three
sectors, 54 percent of which employ between 5,000-50,000 employees and
47 percent of which report revenue between $1 billion and $10 billion.
