Is there a hidden cost to data protection?
http://www.networkworld.com/nlsecuritynewsal172217 Companies
today realize the threats and consequences of data loss and by
now most have some sort of data protection in place. But, many
companies that were rushed into data protection by the fear of
losing precious data may have been too quick to throw together a
patchwork quilt of security software, which is now proving
costly.

Two weeks ago, I promised to continue with my "tough times"

Turkey Award to American Express. With Thanksgiving now behind
us, however, let us forget our recent Bacchanalian revelries

Cisco Subnet's top 10 Cisco stories of 2008
http://www.networkworld.com/community/node/35838 What a year it
has been watching Cisco. We've waited with bated breath for
Cisco's next big acquisition - it has acquired five firms this
year but nothing that compares in size to 2007's $3.2 billion
purchase of WebEx - reported its first job cuts in years, and
saw Cisco introduce a twice-a-year patch schedule for IOS. We'll
spend this month taking a retrospective look at Cisco in 2008,
and close the year with a few predictions. Pay close attention
because there will be a quiz at the end of it (see how much
Cisco news you remember by taking our 2007 Cisco quiz).
