Later on Newsnight Prof Ross Anderson made telling points about the number of warning reports that have been brushed aside by govt. Eventually he made a hit with the Minister over the huge risks of the large aggregations of data such as were copied onto those missing discs.<BR/>I have repeated personal experience of interfacing with teams in govt depts being run by people who have no idea what they are getting into, and who are not given any training or support on information security, data protection compliance, etc, etc. Put bluntly: they do not know what we are talking about. Their own policies are being ignored.dreamingspirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00324207120279777521noreply@blogger.com
