The Unseen Leak: Faxes in the Era of Sarbanes-Oxley

Since the advent of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX), publicly traded
companies have spent considerable time, effort, and expense to develop and
implement new and tighter processes, documentation and reporting
infrastructures.
This white paper examines the issues surrounding faxing in a SOX context,
and how companies can use Internet faxing technologies to plug a leak they
may not even realize they have.

Cell phone burns man but the model in question deemed not important to
disclose

need not know the make or model of phone involved. So goes the logic of Bill
Tweedy, an investigator at the Vallejo Fire Department in Vallejo, Calif.

Hugely disappointed by the iPhone

So the iPhone was announced last week, and while there's lots to like, there
are many elements which for me either don't fit, or that I would have
preferred to see in a separate device. Let's take a look at the detail.

I can see why hackers are drooling over iPhone

After the Apple lawyers get the legal issues ironed out over the use of
Cisco's iPhone name (hey, Apple, money talks), the next thing Apple needs to
do is make sure the darn thing is as secure as possible. If this product
takes off like I think it will, hackers will be more than happy to focus
their sights on this next generation communication device.
