8 Simple Rules for IT Organizations
8 Simple Rules for IT Organizations I just listened to an excellent NPR rebroadcast of Harold Pollack who recently wrote The Index Card with co-author Helaine Olen. It got me thinking. What if all the Gartner surveys and corporate sponsored IT white papers are all wrong? What if the field of information technology and services with its fully buzzword-compliant list of IoT, Cloud, XaaS, and BigData, is, in a word, bullshit? This is an attempt to take that financial advice, which is sound, and look for the simple rules that help those in IT do better for themselves. For those unfamiliar with the concept, Harold came up with 9 rules that could fit on an index card, that, if understood, would help you attain financial security. Here's what I think are 8 simple maxims that should sound familiar to those in IT. The theory is that by following these rules, you may attain information security. Revisions and detailed explanations to follow. Maybe. 0. Keep your data safe.
