Preparing Your Staff Members for a Successful Q4

HR & Management

Q4 is more about planning for the upcoming year than scrambling to save the current one. Whether 2014 was financially lucrative, or a year devoted to longer term investments in infrastructure and R&D, it provides an opportunity to take stock and confirm the direction for next year. Transparency and communication with staff is crucial to maintaining morale and enthusiasm. The vision of company leadership is often not clear to the worker. A five-year time horizon, typical for CEO decision making, is not the focus of a manager disappointed by the first six months’ sales. The expectations concerning the bottom line are not necessarily what is most important. The company may have invested substantially in R&D, for example, with a return expected in future years. Convey the company strategy to staff so that they understand that goals are being met although the profit and loss statement may imply otherwise. Les McKeon of Inc. emphasizes the need to analyze the high and low points of the past year. Include staff and invite their feedback. Transparent communication involves openly discussing operations or cultural factors that can be improved, and planning ways to do so. Review of poor performing areas is crucial to identify future improvements. By identifying areas of improvement for the upcoming year, management and staff can begin strategizing as to how to effect change. Paul R. Lawrence, in the Harvard Business Review, suggests that removing the blind spots, providing plenty of lead time, and supporting staff through a slower change process can reduce resistance to new ideas. With the hard work completed, congratulate staff and take time to celebrate. The... read more

How to Prevent Data Breach Amid a Hacker Popular World

IT Financial

The greatest security risk to companies currently is data breach. According to IBM Security Services 2014 intelligence data, there were 1.5 million cyber attacks in the US in 2013. The financial consequences for a company are, primarily, loss of productivity and damage to reputation. However, there are also substantial costs associated with forensics, technical support, and regulatory requirements. Technologies such as the cloud, prolific mobile devices, and growing corporate networks for the communication and storage of data is the focus of increasing hacker activity. IBM emphasizes that establishing effective data security requires significant investment. Assessing an organization’s current vulnerability to threats and risk tolerance is essential. Four steps are recommended for a data breach prevention strategy. Assess company data. Some information requires more security and limited access, such as employee personal data and financial information. Decide who requires access to which data, and adopt security measures accordingly. Don’t store nonessential information. The New York Times reported on the infamous breach of the retailer Target. The breach revealed that the company was unnecessarily storing the four-digit pin numbers of customer debit cards, effectively, a gift for the hacker. Develop a plan and a budget. This will involve the input of IT professionals, managers, and senior decision makers. Company leaders are often unaware of current threats and the costs involved in adequately securing an organization’s data. The input of IT experts and managers can bridge the knowledge gap and deliver the required resources to prevent cyber-attacks. Prepare for the worst and develop an emergency response plan. This may involve setting up alternative work processes in another location and duplicating important data... read more

Evaluating the Importance of Proper Security Clearance in the IT Financial Industry

IT Financial

Many employees of financial companies have access to sensitive customer information such as phone numbers, bank and credit card account numbers, income and credit histories, and even social security numbers. All the information a person would need to commit fraud. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act requires financial companies to employ policies to provide security and confidentiality with respect to sensitive customer information. According to Sergeant James Humbucker of Veterans Today, approximately three million people possess security clearance in the US. Additionally, private contracting or consulting firms hold 1.5 million security clearances. One out of every thousand are estimated to compromise the information that they have access to. Security clearances are typically used by governments and industries to allow access to classified information. The majority of IT positions, particularly in the finance industry, require security clearance, which can be obtained for individuals or groups. Different organizations may have varying levels of clearance, depending on the information that they collect. The types of security clearances are Confidential, Secret, Top Secret, Sensitive Compartmentalized Information, and Single Scope Background Investigation. Employees must meet certain character, criminal, and credit history requirements to attain clearance. The higher the clearance level, the stricter the requirements. US businesses and individuals are targets for white collar crime, terrorism, and espionage. It is vital to a company’s reputation to ensure that the internal risk of compromised sensitive financial information is minimized with thorough employee background checks, security clearances, and strict controls on employee access to sensitive financial information. An identity access management system can control the access to data. Employees, depending on their profile, are only able to access certain levels... read more
