'France''s 1930''s Maginot Line failure may seem an odd analogy, but ''digital washing'' of old ideas and lack of forward thinking also have the potential to create strategic disaster in a highly competitive world where speed to market and agility are key.
The (discrete) search to appoint a successor to David Smith, soon-to-retire Deputy Information Commissioner and Director of Data Protection is over. Shortly, the successful candidate will be unveiled. Don't worry, it’s not me. And a (discrete) search will commence to find a suitable replacement for Chris Graham, soon-to-be outgoing Commissioner. How secret should this process be, and when is it appropriate to extend the selection process?
The post Scaling Through Culture: WeWork and Blue Bottle (vs. Regus and Starbucks) appeared first on John Battelle's Search Blog. The way we work is changing. That statement seems self-evident to anyone involved in what I call the NewCo economy – work no longer has to be a duty, it can be a calling. For those blessed with the talent, education, connections, and skill to turn work into part of their self expression, work isn’t the thing you have to do so you can “have a lif
Not long ago, a DB2 for z/OS DBA requested of me some guidance in planning for his organization's initial use of index compression (a capability introduced with DB2 9 for z/OS). He asked some good questions, and with the thought that my responses might be useful to others in the DB2 community, I offer this blog entry. First, strive to get good "bang" from your index compression "buck.
Speaker: Ben Epstein, Stealth Founder & CTO | Tony Karrer, Founder & CTO, Aggregage
When tasked with building a fundamentally new product line with deeper insights than previously achievable for a high-value client, Ben Epstein and his team faced a significant challenge: how to harness LLMs to produce consistent, high-accuracy outputs at scale. In this new session, Ben will share how he and his team engineered a system (based on proven software engineering approaches) that employs reproducible test variations (via temperature 0 and fixed seeds), and enables non-LLM evaluation m
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (“NIST”) recently released the final draft of its report entitled De-Identification of Personal Information. The report stems from a review conducted by NIST of various de-identification techniques for removal of personal information from computerized documents. While de-identification techniques are widely used, there is concern that existing techniques are insufficient to protect personal privacy because certain remaining information can make

George Despres. Program Director for University Records Management, Brandeis University. (The content in this blog reflects the opinions of the author, and not of Brandeis University.). Two Cents on the CRM Experience. I’ve recently made the time (belatedly) to take the CRM exams. While CRM had been slipping on my to-do list for almost ten years, I’ve been busy doing RIM, though admittedly under a bit of an “impostor” self-image.
I was asked this question at 6.15 am today. And, if I knew the answer, was I available for a BBC radio interview immediately after the 7.00 am news? No and Yes were my answers – so I subsequently had a chat with BBC Radio’s Adrian Goldberg. The question arose because the Birmingham Mail had asked West Midlands Police to disclose the names and images of ten suspects it had been hunting for at least a decade for crimes including rape and murder.
'The post Remember the Internet When Considering The Things appeared first on John Battelle's Search Blog. Last month I sat down with my old pal Jay Adelson (Digg, Revision 3, Equinix, SimpleGeo) who together with his partner Andy Smith is raising a new fund focused on the Internet of Things. Our goal was to get caught up – I’d tell him about my plans for NewCo , and they’d update me on Center Electric, the fund’s new name.

Twice in the past month, I've encountered a misunderstanding pertaining to dynamic SQL statements issued by applications that access DB2 for z/OS via network connections (these could also be called DDF-using applications, or DRDA requesters). Now seems as good a time as any to clear things up. I'll use this blog entry for that purpose. The misunderstanding of which I speak: some people are under the impression that dynamic SQL statements issued by DDF-connected applications are zIIP-eligible whe
In late October, the Brazilian Ministry of Justice (the “Ministry”) issued its revised Draft Bill for the Protection of Personal Data (“Draft Bill”). The Ministry released its preliminary draft in January 2015, and the Centre for Information Policy Leadership at Hunton & Williams LLP (“CIPL”) filed public comments to the draft on May 5, 2015. Key changes to the new Draft Bill include: adding “legitimate interest” as a basis for processing non-sensitive personal information; adding a risk-bas
Everyone knows that you call a plumber for a leaking pipe, a mason for a cracked stonewall, and an electrician to fix faulty wiring. However, when faced with an actual or suspected HIPAA data breach, many folks struggle with determining whom to call. Failure to have contacts lined up ahead of time may pose more than an inconvenience–any delay in bringing in experienced advisors to assist with breach investigation, response and mitigation may result in significant financial and legal consequences

Over the last two years, the number of encrypted emails received by Gmail has almost doubled, as I reported earlier on the Google security blog. This very encouraging trend is sadly accompanied with an increase of SMTP TLS downgrade attacks, which prevent encryption of emails in transit as discussed in our research paper on the state of email transport security.
Improving road inspections and maintenance through mobile technology. shobana.lv@cgi.com. Wed, 06/24/2015 - 08:00. Maintaining road infrastructures is highly complex, but also essential for the safety of travelers and economic progress. Roads are heavily used by both business and private travelers, making it difficult to close them for maintenance. Currently, many government transport agencies rely on road inspection techniques that are manual and time consuming.
What a pleasure and honor to work with Bennett. eDisclosure Information Project. There was a time when the roles of corporate professional advisers were sharply defined. Accountants did the sums, audited accounts and gave financial advice while lawyers dealt, largely reactively, with a well-compartmentalised class of problems which involved meeting legal obligations, securing proprietary rights and bringing or defending litigation claims; IP specialists and a range of others with specific skills
George Despres. University Records Manager, Brandeis University. (The content in this blog reflects the opinions of the author, and not of Brandeis University.). Last fall, The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing , by Marie Kondo, was released in the United States. This book passed under my radar until a kind colleague pointed out that, in one chapter, Kondo dispenses personal record retention and categorization guidance.

As Deputy Commissioner David Smith completes his last lap of the data protection conference circuit, various speakers are extending their hastily-prepared remarks to include a short homily on his contribution to data protection over the decades. Yes, he really has been at the ICO for decades. It's a convention that public servants are never presented with anything other than small tokens of appreciation from grateful hosts.
The post Branch Deepviews: Routing Around The Damage of Apps and App Stores appeared first on John Battelle's Search Blog. But it’s also the year a better one will be born. 2015 is the year the old internet finally died [link]. — John Battelle (@johnbattelle) August 7, 2015. Over and over again, the press and pundits are declaring the death of the “web we once knew.” And despite having solid proof to the contrary, I’ve always responded that the web will never die, th
DB2 for z/OS is making increased use of the information that it keeps in the real-time statistics tables in the DB2 catalog. You should be doing likewise. Read on to learn more. For a long time, the only statistics to be found in DB2 "system" tables were those generated through execution of the RUNSTATS utility. Starting with DB2 Version 7 (around the 2000 time frame), DB2 could automatically and periodically (every 30 minutes, by default) write a variety of statistics about table spaces and ind
Large enterprises face unique challenges in optimizing their Business Intelligence (BI) output due to the sheer scale and complexity of their operations. Unlike smaller organizations, where basic BI features and simple dashboards might suffice, enterprises must manage vast amounts of data from diverse sources. What are the top modern BI use cases for enterprise businesses to help you get a leg up on the competition?
On December 17, 2015, the German Federal Diet ( Bundestag ) adopted a draft law introducing class action-like claims that will enable consumer protection associations to sue companies for violations of German data protection law. The law amends Germany’s Act on Actions for Injunctions to allow consumer protection associations to bring lawsuits against companies for improper use of consumer data in violation of German data protection law.
I am asked that question almost weekly. While the answer has traditionally been “no,” the legal landscape is shifting and the risk of being sued continues to increase. Let’s first start with some background. As some of you may know, HIPAA does not include a “private right of action.” This means that an individual may not file a claim against a covered entity or a business associate in order to enforce HIPAA or seek damages in response to a HIPAA violation.
