  Keeping the Barbarians Out: How...

  There are a lot of bad guys out there. For some odd reason, a lot of them seem to want to break into your company's networks and applications. As the CIO, it's your job to make sure that this does not happen. Got any thoughts on how to go about doing that? 
  
   
  What You'll Find Inside: 
  
  CIO’S NEED TO LEARN HOW TO DEFEND AGAINST THE INSIDER THREAT
  WHY BYOD SPELLS DOOM FOR CIOS
  DO WE REALLY NEED TO ENCRYPT OUR CUSTOMER DATA? 
  3 WAYS TO GET YOUR COMPANY TO TAKE DIGITAL SECURITY SERIOUSLY
  
  
   
  As much as we like to spend our time looking outwards in order to detect the next threat that our company may be facing, perhaps we're looking in the wrong direction. Just as big of a deal may be the insider threat that lurks within the company.  No matter where it comes from, cybercrime is your problem to deal with. 
  
   
  CIOs have to deal with trends as they come and go. Right now the Bring Your Own Device To Work (BYOD) phase is in full swing and if you aren't careful could cause a lot of problems for the IT department. At the same time, it's the code that your teams create that will secure your applications. Do you know if they are writing secure code or are they leaving doors wide open? 
  
   
  In order to measure where the threats are coming from and how big of deal they are, CIOs need to become comfortable with measuring the level of risk that they are dealing with. A big part of measuring risk is getting information about threats from other CIOs. This can be difficult to do because CIOs really don't like to share information like this. 
  
   
  Since we can't always be certain that we can keep the bad guys out, we need to make sure that we've taken the needed steps to secure our networks. Should they happen to get inside of the company, we need to take extra steps to make sure that they can't get what they came for. This brings up the interesting question of whether or not we should go to the effort and expense of encrypting our customer data. 
  
   
  No matter what our final decision on encrypting the company's digital assets is, we still have a responsibly as CIO to make sure that the company understands the threats that it is facing and that it starts to take digital security seriously.

  Management in the Digital Age -...

  In this Springer Brief, the author introduces how Chinese firms are successfully using their own variants of the "Silicon Valley Approach" to management. The author begins the discussion by deliberating on the extent to which management models need to be re-invented. A fundamentally new approach is then introduced, which already exists and is proving itself in practice at some of Silicon Valley's most dynamic firms. The author finds that the Chinese management models, in comparison, may be even more advanced. If true, this could have profound implications for managers everywhere.The author acknowledges that no management model fails (or succeeds) every time. Skeptics can point to big bureaucratic firms that continue to prosper, as well as to radical innovators that have gone under. This book brings to light the need that has emerged for a model that will give companies their best chances of thriving amid the VUCA whirlwind. A combination of evidence and informed opinion indicates the old management model has run its course.

  People Power and Profits -...

  Joseph E. Stiglitz

  A Nobel prize winner challenges us to throw off the free market fundamentalists and reclaim our economy. 
  We all have the sense that the American economy - and its government - tilts toward big business, but as Joseph E. Stiglitz explains in his new book, People, Power, and Profits, the situation is dire. A few corporations have come to dominate entire sectors of the economy, contributing to skyrocketing inequality and slow growth. This is how the financial industry has managed to write its own regulations, tech companies have accumulated reams of personal data with little oversight, and our government has negotiated trade deals that fail to represent the best interests of workers. Too many have made their wealth through exploitation of others rather than through wealth creation. If something isn't done, new technologies may make matters worse, increasing inequality and unemployment. 
  Stiglitz identifies the true sources of wealth and of increases in standards of living, based on learning, advances in science and technology, and the rule of law. He shows that the assault on the judiciary, universities, and the media undermines the very institutions that have long been the foundation of America's economic might and its democracy.
