The saga of disgraced former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich continues, as the Chicago Breaking News Center reports that eight computers and a safe were stolen in a burglary at the law offices of Sam Adam and his son, Sam Adam Jr. One computer contained “undercover recordings from the sweeping corruption case.” Apparently the data was backed up (to other computers in the office that were not stolen), so now it’s more of a question about who has the data.

It’s becoming clearer these days that not only are organizations woefully “behind” on their data security projects, but even those who do take action tend to leave their infrastructure only moderately secure. An interesting article based on a survey from Information Week highlights some of the issues, not the least of which is that only 14% of survey respondents say encryption is “pervasive” in their organizations, and only 38% encrypt data on mobile devices. Furthermore, 31% characterize the extent of their use as “just enough to meet regulatory requirements.” Rather than bantering statistics around all day, it’s important to focus on the key issues (no pun intended), and a generally distasteful attitude toward security is clearly pervasive

I simply cannot help but continue to pull out some golden nuggets from the 2009 Data Breach Investigations Report from Verizon Business. One of the most remarkable findings of the report, based on actual breach investigations, was the “ease” of attack in many cases. The report found that, as we’ve always said as well, criminals target the low-hanging fruit.

In yet another very interesting Ponemon Institute study, more than half of IT and security professionals worldwide believe their companies’ laptops and other mobile devices pose security risks, and only half of them have CEOs who are strong advocates and supporters of data security efforts. Kelly Jackson Higgins’ article at Dark Reading gives a good summary. And, in the United States, the situation is even worse, with only 40 percent of US IT and security pros believing their CEOs to be security supporters
