Inside Intel, part 2: The future IT security workforce

Inside Intel, part 2: The future IT security workforce | Higher Ed Information Security | Scoop.it

"The future workforce will look somewhat different than the current workforce, according to Alan Ross, senior principal engineer at Intel. IT security functions will likely change because computing itself is changing so much—and Intel is at work preparing for the new security landscape."


"Intel is preparing for these changes in the workforce by developing a security data scientist curriculum, and will begin training interested employees in making the transition. "We are also cross-training technologists on privacy so they can begin to make the change for us toward a privacy-technologist competency," Ross says."

...

"Security has often been seen as a disabler or [as] hindering development. This means that our business groups will start to look outside of the organization to deliver if we cannot move fast enough and exceed their expectations."

Store, Share and Connect with Your Own Private Cloud: ownCloud | Higher Ed Information Security | Scoop.it

"ownCloud helps enterprises concerned about sensitive data leakage via Dropbox deliver a secure file sync and share solution on site, on their storage, integrated with their infrastructure and security systems, managed to their policies. The result is an easy-to-use solution that provides complete control over sensitive corporate data." from source: https://owncloud.com

If you are looking for a good and safe alternative to Drobox or Box.net here is one: Owncloud is an open source software which you can install on your own web server and which provides you not only with full file storage and sharing capabilties, but also with the ability to connect directly to other file storage services and to run HTML5 apps.


Excerpted from the Techcrunch review: "OwnCloud is a free software suite, written in PHP, that provides file storage, synchronization, and sharing. It provides the same basic features of Dropbox or Box.net."


"The core ownCloud offering is file storage and synchronization. You also get optional contacts and calendar synchronization, if you want to use it. As an open source application, you can install it on any computer you control. This means you know how and where your data is stored, something which existing hosted solutions abstract away from you. Individuals and enterprises can install ownCloud on their own hardware, and define access policies according to their own needs."


"...the ownCloud mobile client can automatically upload pictures taken from your phone."


"...ownCloud can be connected to third-party storage like Dropbox or Google Drive or even an FTP server. These are read-write connections, allowing you to use third-party storage in whatever ways make sense for you..."


"...ownCloud supports HTML5 applications, allowing you to add all sorts of additional functionality. The ownCloud app catalog has dozens of apps."

This is a solution that makes a lot of sense to me. Keeping the curation and management of content locally will allow personal and enterprise installations to share content among their community.
