30 September 2010 20:38   The ABC's of Document Management... Tips that spell success for your organization EDMS, ECM, BPM, KM, ERM, HSM… Huh?!? The document management industry certainly isn’t lacking acronyms to describe just about everything. But does anyone really know what all of these letters mean? On second thought, does it really matter? If you know your business needs to automate its processes, reduce inefficiencies, and save resources, it shouldn’t matter which letters you use to describe the technology. The article Content Management Technologies and Alphabet Soup: 26 Tips to Spell Success makes better use of letters, providing a helpful step for every letter of the alphabet. If you apply each of them during your project implementation, you’ll be off to a great start. Here’s a look:   Align your business and IT goals. Some of the greatest project failures result from a mismatch. IT’s role is to support business objectives, but IT resources are often stretched. Educate each other. Negotiate. Budget carefully. Software and hardware alone don’t represent Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). Customizations, disaster recovery planning, training, and testing carry costs. Plan accordingly. Collaborate with all of your department managers. Set enterprise goals even if you’re starting with a departmental project. Think globally. Otherwise, you’ll find yourself reworking projects unnecessarily. Continue reading to see the other 23 tips so you can advance towards a successful document management project.

Reports are being released that French police have arrested a ring of mobile phone hackers involved in fraud worth millions of Euros. Nine people have been arrested, including employees of mobile phone companies.
The French fraudsters were buying codes to unlock victims’ SIM cards for €3 from employees of mobile phone companies who had access to the companies’ databases. They then sold the codes online for €30. Using these codes hackers could access any SIM card – even overseas SIMs – with their own mobile phones.
According to Amichai Shulman, CTO of data security specialist Imperva, “The employees did not hack into the database; it was an internal attack where they abused normal functionality and privileges granted to them. This was probably a case of over privileged users as these employees probably should not have been granted access to that data in the first place. In this scam, employees sold codes so that actual fraudsters could actually use these codes to make money. This gang has been operating for around 10 years. Not ironically, 10 years ago database security, access controls - all were very new concepts. The Telco companies would probably have put into place a very initial, raw access control policy back then and not updated in the past years when these companies turned into huge enterprises.”

Idappcom, the data traffic analysis and security specialist, says that release of ElcomSoft’s Wireless Security Auditor software, which has been refreshed with the addition of enhanced WPA2 password brute force cracking, means that WiFi connections can no longer be considered secure.
As a result, says Anthony Haywood, the company's chief technology officer, companies should consider moving to Ethernet/wireline connections for their company intranets and Internet access facilities.
The update of EWSA means that, with the professional version installed, hackers can use a computer with up to 32 CPUs and 8 GPUs to crack WiFi encryption using a brute force attack," he said.

The public hacking of the German national ID card system - which is due to be phased in from this November onwards - is almost certainly down to a failure of security being added as an afterthought, rather than integrated from the earliest stages of the development process, says Fortify Software.
In addition, says Richard Kirk, the application vulnerability specialist's European director, the fact that it has been cracked so publicly on TV by the Chaos Computer Club, will not help the German government in its cause to extend the card's usage beyond its national ID beginnings.

25 September 2010 10:28 InfoSecurity Russia-2010: “Living in the Clouds. How Modern Infrastructure Solutions Can Change Life of Organizations” in Report by Vitali Fridland, CEO, Fujitsu Technology Solutions, Russia Vitali Fridland - Fujitsu Technology Solutions CEO - to deliver speech “Living in the Clouds... Flying in dreams or in reality… or How Modern Infrastructure Solutions Can Change Life of Organizations” on IT Director’s Day, 17 November, at the main stage of InfoSecurity Russia. StorageExpo. Documation’2010. IT directors and top managers are welcome to the speech at 12:30. www.infosecurityrussia.ru/2010/program/17.11.2010 Сloud Computing – a concept suggesting a new supplement, consumption, and delivery model for IT services based on the Internet – becomes more popular among users, software and malware providers. Those supporting the concept are sure that information technologies will be developing towards clouds; today every IT director or CEO can think of at least one example to prove that using cloud computing is better than traditional computing. Clouds allow traditional information technologies to transform into something new; if traditional market players do not start acting now, other companies may gain the most part of the IT market. The report by Vitali Fridland answers the questions – whether this statement is true and how cloud computing can transform the life of CEOs, especially those involved in minimizing IT expenses. “Clouds develop by leaps and bounds transforming capital expenditure into operating costs as we pay only for what we use and when we use. Thus, the efficiency increases substantially, - says Vitali Fridland.” Details available on www.infosecurityrussia.ru/2010/expo/Fujitsu VII International Exhibition “InfoSecurity Russia. StorageExpo.

The global recession has changed the game for European businesses with cost savings top of the boardroom agenda. However, a combined article and video from Canon Europe and IDC released today, argues that organisations are short-changing themselves if they see suppliers of business and technology solutions just as a way to reduce costs.
IDC insight shows that businesses across Europe are focused on growth, but at the same time are drowning in all the issues surrounding their business, costing them time and money.
IDC explains that the solution lies in working with trusted suppliers to take over the management of business-critical and business-specific systems and solutions. In the short video, IDC discusses that in order to maintain growth, it is possible to cut costs and improve business processes and that this is made possible by industry partnerships, which are adding real value to the customer experience.

An IT manager for the NHS in Yorkshire has been warned he faces jail after admitting illegally spying on medical records of patients. Dale Trever, 22, was working for a primary care trust as a data quality manager when he accessed patient records - all for women and mostly for his family, friends and colleagues. It is thought he looked at records on 431 occasions, even going in on weekends to have an illicit peek. On 336 of those occasions, he was checking out the records of family, friends and colleagues.
Amichai Shulman, Imperva’s CTO comments, “Dale Trever had been accessing the information between October 2008 and June last year and worryingly has only been caught now. With such a large system with very sensitive information in it, you would have expected the NHS to have some sort of alert system which monitors access and alerts in real-time when company policy is violated.”
Shulman continues “Just 6 months ago the NHS were exposed when it was found that as many as 140,000 non-medical staff, including porters and housekeepers, had access to sensitive NHS patient files. When there is a problem, a responsible organization should be able to assess the scope of the damage.”
“These incidents raise the fact again that the biggest issue related to insider threat is excessive privileges and the abuse of these privileges. This is a very though issue to resolve without an automated system that can alert when it detects abnormal behaviour. The UK health industry needs to update its access controls. With such a large number of sensitive records, doing this manually is obviously a near-impossible task so they will have to automate their process of user rights management.” adds Shulman.

Research published today by IT security experts, Tufin Technologies, reveals that 23% of college and university students have hacked into IT systems. Of these hackers, 40% waited until after their 18th birthday before their first hacking attempt. On a positive note, 84% of 18-21 year olds recognised that hacking is wrong. However, 32% identified that hacking is ‘cool’ and worryingly, for the targets of hackers in this age group, 28% considered hacking to be easy.
This research, which was supported by the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) – builds on a study carried out in March amongst teenagers. The teenage research survey revealed similar attitudes towards hacking, although only 18% considered hacking to be easy, suggesting that hackers’ experience develops through their teenage years. Both surveys found that there was no gender bias in hackers with an equal split between boys and girls.

20 September 2010 12:01 The Highland Archive Centre in Inverness, one of the most significant developments of its type in the last 12 months, is now fully up and running and benefiting significantly from the use of Link 51 shelving systems throughout. The £10.5 million investment, which brings together the history and heritage of a region extending across the whole of the country north of Loch Ness, has been designed to provide both long term storage and regular access facilities which, in turn, have called for the storage system used to meet a combination of key requirements. “Approximately two thirds of the shelving facility in the new three-storey repository block has been installed in a mobile configuration,” explains Rob Dakin, Link 51’s Projects Manager, “with the rest a combination of static shelving and special storage facilities such as plan chests and map tanks. “Because mobile storage requires only one access aisle to be open at a time, the majority of the installation can be kept in a closed configuration thereby dramatically improving the capacity of the ‘storage cube’,” he continues. “At the same time, access to any part of the archive can be readily achieved through the simple operation of ergonomically-designed hand wheels which open the appropriate aisle when needed. This is providing the optimum storage conditions for a wide range of items from boxes to documents and manuscripts while the use of our specialist designs, such as the map tanks, meet separate and very specific needs.” The installation has been centred on the company’s versatile ‘Stormor’ system. Easily assembled and reconfigured, the design is highly flexible and can thus reflect the variety of items that need to be stored at the site – from local authority, estate and family records to business and legal information, shipping registers and the ‘Tartan Archive’. Importantly, the archive staff can easily re-configure the layout if future storage requirements change. Because of the irreplaceable nature of the material stored, Link 51 has also incorporated a highly innovative element to the installation of the mobile storage facility. “The floor slab has been laid with a slight gradient which will permit water to escape in the event of a fire on site,” continues Rob Dakin. “This has then been offset by a raised access floor to meet the finished level of the tracks.” More: www.link51.co.uk

15 Sep 2010 15:30 Cube Solutions, a specialist document management and workflow provider, announces that it has completed a project with Centaur Media Plc, one the UKs leading specialist B2B publishing groups, to install its online eForms technology to automate the whole process of employee expense claim management. Building on an electronic document management system (EDMS) deployed in 2002 to manage purchase invoices, the new system means that Accounts Payable staff are saving 10 days a month to process 250 credit card and cash expense claims “ time which is being far better used to run the business. The system delivers 100% correct nominal code costing, improves reporting and has improved organisational effectiveness by making a laborious clerical task quick and easy for staff so they can focus on their core job roles. Centaur Media employs 650 staff in four office locations. Operating a paper-based expense claims system was inefficient, slow and costly as paperwork had to be couriered between buildings or sent in the internal post which often resulted in delays or lost forms which would then need to be resubmitted. With a paper system, staff would receive their monthly credit card statements and have to manually enter all items and attached receipts “ a laborious process for some who had 60 to 70 purchases to input per month. Alan Dixie, Centaur Medias head of accountancy services, explains, "We make a direct debit payment to our credit card supplier and things could get quite pressurised before a payment deadline to get expenses back, and items allocated to the right nominal codes".

Christopher Crowley, president of The Crowley Company, announced today that a portion of the scanning and processing services at Crowley’s Michigan Service Bureau has been sold for an undisclosed amount to Image Data Conversion (IDC), which will also sublet a percentage of Crowley’s physical facility. “This move serves several purposes,” states Crowley. “It has opened the door for former Crowley employees to become entrepreneurs in an arena in which they are extremely well-versed and it allows us to maintain our Michigan presence on specific projects while expanding our Maryland bureau, which has just been awarded significant contracts from Source Interlink Media and The Library of Congress. It also frees us to concentrate on an increasing international presence in the hardware sector as our Mekel Technology scanners gain market share overseas.”
Image Data Conversion is led by Joe Mills, Crowley’s former Vice President of Imaging in Michigan, and Jeff Moyer, both of whom have decades of experience in the imaging industry, as well as with the conversion contract they will take on. “This is an ideal opportunity for IDC,” notes Mills. “We are familiar with the work to be done and will continue to employ the same outstanding staff that has worked together for decades. We intend for our two companies to have a very symbiotic and beneficial partnership for years to come.”

Information Technology may be a staple feature of most organisations in the UK, but its profile in the career stakes as far as school leavers and graduates are concerned needs to be improved, according to Maggie Berry, the managing director of Women in Technology, the recruitment, jobs and career company Internet resource for women.
Writing in her blog for the 360°IT - The IT Infrastructure Event, Maggie observes it has been a busy few weeks for IT-related surveys, with researchers discovering that Microsoft rates the second most ideal potential employer with 69 per cent of respondents giving the thumbs up to the software giant.
Other companies favoured by younger job seekers included Apple and Google yet, she says, if so many people want to work in technology, why is there still a lack of talent in the sector?

Popular IT security site TechCrunch Europe served up a Zeus trojan -installer PDF file to its visitors on Monday of this week and, says leading provider of secure browsing services Trusteer, the infection is down to the rising tide of Zeus attacks.
According to Mickey Boodaei, Trusteer's chief executive, one of the Javascript files of the TechCrunch site was modified by hackers to open an IFRAME, which in turn delivered a PDF file with a nasty Zeus infection.
"The bad news about this infection, which lasted several hours on Monday of this week, is that - as security researcher Rik Ferguson says in his blog
(http://bit.ly/bL2Jjx) - just two of 43 IT security applications can detect this malware variant," he said.

An electrotechnology firm that has won numerous infrastructure projects throughout the South Pacific over its 73-year history has deployed 3ami Monitoring and Audit System (3ami MAS) to safeguard its intellectual property against theft. McKay, a rapidly growing firm whose clients include BAE and New Zealands Royal Navy, uses 3ami MAS to prevent employees from downloading confidential company files onto personal USB mass storage devices and removing those files from the premises without authorisation.
McKay™s growth was around 40 percent last year, thanks partly to a string of major contract wins in the superyacht market and partly to the firms continued success in the aviation and diesel power generation markets. Considering McKay™s high-profile client list, specialist knowledge and 73 years of experience, it comes as no surprise that the value of McKay™s intellectual property is extremely high.

Binary Research International Inc. (BRI) announced today the release of FastTrack Scripting Host version 6.0, a pseudo-language designed to handle scripting needs in a Windows network. The new version features a full native interface for any operation performed on Active Directory users, groups, computers and organisational units.

“Active Directory is notoriously difficult to script; even the ‘experts’ have difficulty producing an error-free script,” said Lars Pedersen, lead developer of FastTrack Scripting Host. “However, it can be done with the right tools. FastTrack gives the IT administrator the ability to do what was previously out of reach, empowering him to accomplish more in less time. With existing scripting tools maybe three out of 100 administrators can write advanced scripts related to Active Directory. With FastTrack, 100 of 100 can do it.”
