Weekly Review - iPad / Loss of confidential data

Apple iPad

One of the most interesting pieces of news from this last week is the UK launch of the Apple iPad. See details in my previous article.

PCWorld and Currys are both showing stock at many of their stores. Honest and truthful? If you’ve been looking for an iPad, what’s your experience of availability? Still stock at Apple stores?

Loss of confidential data

Last week saw another case of data being disclosed or lost by a Government department – an HMRC printing error resulted in personal details, including bank and salary details, being printed on tax credit award notices by mistake.

There has also been debate about the security of SaaS cloud applications, and how they inherently compare to typical on-premise installations. Your view?

Furthermore, why do we all still use unencrypted email, when encrypted services are available?
