Can I Trust The Internet and Care About The Future?

The question that I asked myself is, can i trust the electronic transactions? How can i be sure that my privacy, the privacy of my personal information will not be compromised against possible cyber theft or intrusion into my electronic records? How secure is the technology infrastructure in a paperless environment?

Above picture says "Insurance goes paperless". Here is an excerpt from the said article:

"Two years ago, Singapore’s leading insurance company, NTUC Income Cooperative Limited embarked on transformative exercise to convert its 40 million pages of insurance policies and related documents into digital images. At the same time, it started working on the technology infrastructure and work processes to go fully paperless. Now, it is ready to give its agents the power to underwrite policies out in the field, with Intel® technology-based solutions."

I mentioned in my previous blog that Digital Signature Legislation is essential core in the paperless society. In fact it is the tipping point in the campaign to go paperless.

The second ingredient in our recipe for success is the readiness of the technology infrastructure and work processes to go fully paperless.

This is still a big challenge to the technology providers. Even an image copy of legal document you scanned and archived today, 10 years from now there may not be anymore compatible software to re-opened them again and view using another version of pdf viewer or MS Word. Your latest copy of MS Word today tomorrow they are already rendered obsolete.

In my next article I will be discussing about information security and information security management system in a shared data center context.

This is a dragging topic and full of technical jargons, but this is also a very important topic. Information security and security awareness is a topic that is less understood by so many people and yet this is the future.
Do you care about the future?

I am already thinking of organizing free information security awareness training for everyone and for every organization who are willing to listen.

Honestly, Im still figuring out how to make this complex topic simple, concrete and easy to understand.

This is coming up in next...
