The Human Factor in Internal Breaches

This Opinion piece looks at how human nature and technology can combine to increase or decrease data security at your credit union.

By Scott Cowan | Updated on January 28, 2014
A good friend and I were recently reminiscing about how we first met and the experiences we had shared together both personally and professionally over a number of years.

Our friendship is a bit interesting as he is a retired white-collar crime supervisor from the FBI who also has a strong IT forensics and technology background. He also worked “crypto” (cryptography) during his time in the military and put that skill to use during his time with the bureau.

He also is a published author of a leading book on critical incident management and how to protect data and what to do in case of worse case scenarios. (If you want the name of the book, contact me at [email protected] and I’ll forward it to you.)
