In Australia a new definition of Personal Information (PI or "PII") means that anonymous data that can potentially be re-identified in future may have to be classified as PII today. I recently discussed how security and risk practitioners can deal with the uncertainty in re-identifiability.

What I learned at Constellation Research's Connected Enterprise Event about from Chris Meyer about US Capitalism and how to fix it
At the end of his talk Meyer predicted that new types of businesses – networked enterprises, hybrids, not-for-profit, and emerging market newcomers – will usher in a new and very possibly better form of capitalism that replaces the runaway capitalism of today by becoming less obsessed with return on equity and using broad-based measurements of success.The question is, when this happens where do you want to be?

Yesterday I participated in the SAP Game-Changers broadcast, Virtual Hives for Collaboration and Innovation, where I provided my thoughts on the pros and cons of teams using collaboration tools to work together. Today's buzz: The hive. Your search for the best talent no longer has to be limited to candidates within driving distance of your site. Now the world can be your proverbial workforce oyster. But before you salivate over the benefits of talent globalization and diversity, first be sure your HR knows what to do when traditional face-to-face team environments are augmented or replaced by virtual ways of working. The experts speak.

Clearly the Data Scientist is the hottest job in the market. According the Harvard Business Review it is the hottest job of the 21st century.However, it struck me this week that the technology and business environments surrounding BI, Analytics and of course Big Data, can create the perspective that the entire world and aura of the data scientist is simply wrong from both an organisational priority and execution point of view. The data scientist should not have to be a super part robot part human employee. This is a completely conflicted requirement when considering the hoped/hyped business potential of data and analytics.

This is a copy of an op-ed I wrote in IT News on 20 September.
It's been suggested that with Apple's introduction of biometric technology, the "i" in iPhone now stands for "identity". Maybe "i" is for "ironic" because there is another long-awaited feature that would have had much more impact on the device's identity credentials.
The fingerprint scanner has appeared in the new iPhone 5s, as predicted, and ahead of Near Field Communications capability. In my view, NFC is much more important for identity. ..

So much has been written about the CMO outspending the CIO in the recent months, I do not even recall who started the whole conversation (Gartner I think?). Doesn’t matter anymore at this point as it has taken off beyond expectations with not only the enterprise software vendors selling to CMOs – but all the journalists, analyst, pundits etc. blog and talk about it.

IBM researchers in Zurich recently revealed a new Two Factor Authentication technique in which the bona fides of a user of a mobile app are demonstrated via a contactless smartcard waved over the mobile device. The technique leverages NFC -- but as a communications medium, not as a payments protocol. The method appears to be compatible with a variety of smartcards, capable of carrying a key specific to the user and performing some simple cryptographic operations.
