Deputy Chief Constable Commendation

On November 15, 2001 Constable Gabriel Kojima responded to a disturbance at the Plaza Cabaret at 881 Granville Street. Also in attendance were Sgt.#1335 Curtis Robinson, Sgt.#419 Larry Weeks, Cst.#1699 Mike Hallam, Cst.#1475 Steve Eely, Cst.#1992 Brandon Steele, Cst.#1723 Brian Montague. Upon arrival it was determined that three males had threatened and assaulted a number of staff at this premise. It was immediately apparent that these males were Hell's Angels, known to be hostile towards Police and often armed. Three of our officers immediately became involved in a violent struggle with two of the suspects. During this fight a loaded handgun fell to the ground from one of the suspect's waistband. At the same time Constables Kojima and Montague identified a third suspect. As the suspect was approached he fled and in the process pulled a second loaded handgun. You pursued and collectively subdued this party.

Given their anti-police nature, and their propensity for violence involving weapons Hell's Angels are a very real threat to officers who encounter them in the course of their duties. During this incident, despite the danger and violence involved, you displayed the highest degree of professionalism and exception courage. It is with great pleasure that I present you with a DEPUTY CHIEF CONSTABLE'S COMMENDATION.

Signed: Gary Greer, Deputy Chief Constable

Cyber security is changing, and so is the way it’s being sold

Cyber security is changing, and so is the way it’s being sold https://www.itworldcanada.com/article/cybersecurity-is-changing-and-so-is-the-way-its-being-sold/409213 Cyber security vendors still have sales targets to meet and their own products to glorify, but a “weird sales dynamic,” as Brian Krause describes, is also creeping its way into the market. “Every single person in here is a salesperson, there’s no denying what we’re doing here … it’s our software first,” said the director of North American channels for Centrify, referring to a room full of cyber security vendors at Optiv Security‘s 2018 Toronto Enterprise Security Solutions Summit last week. “But we’re seeing more, especially in the software community, most of us are partnering with each other.”

Full disclosure: Benchmarking data reveals the human error in privacy

Full disclosure: Benchmarking data reveals the human error in privacy  incidents https://iapp.org/news/a/full-disclosure This month, we are returning to this topic to dig deeper into incident intent classifications and how they can be further broken down into specific scenarios. To level set, looking at data from January 2017 through July 2018, we can see that the vast majority of incidents fall into one intent classification: ·           Intentional, malicious intent: 0.86 percent of incidents. ·           Intentional, not malicious intent: 2.78 percent of all incidents. ·           Unintentional or inadvertent intent: 96.33 percent of all incidents. The numbers show that unintentional or inadvertent incidents — those typically caused by human error rather than malicious intent such as hacking — are by far the most common. ...
