Robert McMillan writes about the possibilities of a robot inside your home being used as an attack point by a hacker. He suggests that it would be prudent to get ahead of the curve and learn from the past. Too often the IT industry develops technologies and then waits to see how they can be misused before actually doing something to prevent it. Do you think the IT industry has learned their collective lesson and have begun to understand the need to design with security in mind?

Robert Lemos of CIO.com addresses the benefits that the cloud provides to organizations in terms of not having to invest in basic IT infrastructure. However, he also identifies some important pitfalls that need to be avoided. One pitfall includes the fact that data held by a provider may well be under less stringent discovery rules than data held within the organization. This presents some interesting considerations particularly for those who are collecting and storing regulated information. What are some of the mitigation strategies that you would recommend to those opting to hand over their data to a 3rd party vendor?
