The name “Integritum” is a portmanteau of “Integrity” and “Continuum”. I chose this name because implementing security measures must cover all aspects of systems and business surface areas. This blog covers a wide range of topics, including Information Security, Internal Audit, Risk Management, Governance, and Privacy, for the benefit of individuals and businesses.
As technology continues to change and the complexity of systems grows, there is a need to stay abreast of the risks to individuals and organisations. 100% security and 100% safety will never exist. As authorities refine rules and regulations and security professionals implement improvements, new vulnerabilities and data-related crimes emerge, which requires continuous effort to mitigate a seemingly never-ending stream of new sources of risk.
I often read horror stories that could happen to anyone, with little or no information included to help people protect themselves and their businesses. Unfortunately, if people read the news and become fearful and powerless to defend themselves, they will likely put their heads in the sand due to being overwhelmed, scared or threatened. I notice that when information is forthcoming, it is not often presented with the same emotional impact and doesn’t necessarily inspire people to take action or even finish reading. The reverse is also true; fear stories can quickly lead to overkill in implementing countermeasures. I don’t want my articles to add to the noise; I write to share meaningful reflections that offer benefit and value to society.
I write here to help individuals understand existing and emerging threats, adapt with practical countermeasures, and stay safe online through better awareness. For businesses and employers, these reflections can support efforts to manage IT and business risks, meet regulatory obligations, implement industry standards, and reduce the likelihood of data breaches, sanctions, reputational damage, or loss of clients.
