10 Years of Trustworthy Computing at MicrosoftBefore joining Microsoft a little bit more than 10 years ago, I ran a team at PricewarehoureCoopers on e-Business Risk Management – classical security consulting in the Internet bubble time.

Steve Ballmer was once asked by a journalist whether and why he allows blogging by Microsoft employees, without any approval process.

You know that I am a big fan of . . . → Read More: The Risk of Blogging I blogged often about it: Blocking certain websites today can fire back in different ways. The CIO published an article called Workarounds: 5 Ways Employees Try to Access Restricted Sites – and they say: “Some workarounds can be dangerous because they might create a channel that data can flow out through that is not managed . . . → Read More: Blocking Social Media Sites–a False Sense of Security?
