Security and the Protection of Information

 

Michael Santarcangelo - http://www.securitycatalyst.com/ - The Security Catalyst Blog, Podcast and Community

I write about shifting the way we think about and protect information. I attempt to write in a style that is 'inclusive' and welcomes others to thinking differently. I have outlined, described and am about to start publicly enhancing a framework called 'Security 2.0.' Security 2.0 has three elements: (1) learning from social media to improve the way we protect information by engaging users in more effective ways, (2) getting involved in web and media 2.0 to encourage the adoption of useful standards that do not disrupt media 2.0, but enhance the ability to protect information, (3) to encourage the adoption and development of new skills that will enable more security professionals to be successful. I am also using concepts and aspects of media 2.0 to improve the way the security industry protects information. I humbly ask to be considered for joining the working group to help bring a healthy and positive influence of protecting information. Thanks for the consideration.

John Bell - http://www.digitalinfluencemapping.com

How am I influenced in new ways? How are we all? I am writing about the intersection of social media, word of mouth and a benign interpretation of 'influencer marketing'. Social media means a single mom, momblogger in New Mexico can be influential beyond her local social network now. New tools cooked up by the fast distributed Web 2.0 universe help amplify that word of mouth. And brands who embrace a more participatory approach with customers will discover invaluable results. Co-creation is the ultimate form of engagement that leads to loyalty and advocacy. I am insatiably curious about how we are all exploring this new area of engagement and also about the means of mapping and measuring in order to make social media a more substantial part of more more organizations.
