Individuals are entitled and should expect and demand personal privacy online - or at least understand what they might be giving up in order to gain the benefit of a service they wish to use. But when they are using a corporate network or device (even in BYOD settings), they must accept that security teams cannot tolerate anonymity if they are to adequately protect company assets, intellectual property and workers identities and information from malicious attackers who care nothing of privacy. Still, Mr. Coviello does assert that privacy and security DO complement each other in a trusted environment that provides transparency and good governance. This is a bottom-line vision that the security industry and privacy advocates should be in agreement on: IT security professionals should be able to monitor company-owned networks for anomalous behaviors while also putting in place controls that can assure worker personal privacy.@kkempskienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3798604115389836864.post-49898288455274416692013-10-31T14:32:23.025+00:002013-10-31T14:32:23.025+00:00The one thing to remember in this context, however...The one thing to remember in this context, however, is that Mr. Coviello is referring to anonymity on enterprise networks being the enemy to privacy - not anonymity on the internet at-large.
