Need to Share vs. Need to Assure

As a society, we have a tendency to send just about anything electronically these days. From business and personal information to pictures, jokes, and links to Web sites, we assume that the information we send is protected and will be delivered accurately to only the intended recipients. Although we might have corporate policies or personal guidelines about what information is posted, shared, and archived electronically, what is preached is often very different from what we practice. As the age of electronics and information sharing continues to grow, IT managers and the general public need to stop and think about what we need and want to share.
