Security Analysis and Integration
Most organizations address risk in isolation. Examples include IT systems risks; physical risks, such as gates and guards; and human resources risks, such as bad performance reviews. The organizations do not integrate these risks to find patterns of behavior indicative of potential threats. Furthermore, they spend a great deal of time and money working only one problem at a time. Great IT security won't protect a company from a deep insider with access, and great hiring practices won't protect from penetration of a facility.
With a comprehensive approach to security, in which patterns of data are examined using sophisticated predictive analytical tools, threat deterrence can be much more effective and costs will be reduced significantly.

Hard Wire Your Soft Skills for Business Success
Because this month is our annual "bring a friend" meeting we have a very special topic and a very special dinner selection including wine. See below.
Did you know that 85% of your success in business is based on your people skills? Your attitude and behavior toward others are more important than your education, technical abilities and experience. Employers and clients look for the human qualities that make the difference in business relationships-courtesy, respect and reliability. How do your manners measure up?
Join The Etiquette Advocate to polish your people skills and raise your etiquette IQ. Companies call these soft skills, but they are a hardworking tool in your business toolkit. Improve your etiquette skills and not only will you outclass the competition, but you will build better business relationships.
This month's speaker is Nancy R. Mitchell will tell us how to avoid such situations if possible and how to react if not.
SPECIAL DINNER: To lure you out to this meeting, in addition to our usual menu we also have the restaurant's "surf and turf" (3 scampi and a filet mignon) and unlimited house wine---all at no increase in price. The last time we did this we had one of our largest turnouts ever, so be sure to make it to this meeting. Potential members and guests are welcome at our monthly meetings. Come and network with your IT peers. Invite your friends and make your reservations early.
