I had the privilege of joining host Tom D’Auria for the weekly IMI-TechTalk radio show once again this week. The show airs weekly on KFNX AM 1100 out of Phoenix, AZ at 3pm local time. Because Arizona doesn’t play Daylight Savings with the rest of the country, though, that means that half the year its on Mountain time and the other half its on Pacific time–so for now the show airs at 6pm Eastern / 5pm Central. If you are not in the Phoenix listening area, you can also listen to the show streamed live via the Web.

The topic of discussion this week was Protecting Sensitive Information from Inside Threats. Tom and I talked about the prevailing perception that information security is an ‘us vs. them’ or ‘inside vs. outside’ battle, while the reality is that internal employees pose a much larger threat than malware or malicious attacks from outside. The default security model relies on simple file and folder permissions to determine access rights for sensitive information, but offer no safeguards or protections regarding what the authorized user does with the data once its accessed.
