“Security-conscious professionals are often stereotyped as the equivalent of “Dr. No”

As cyber-space rapidly changes over the next decade, we need a paradigm shift in thinking about employees' virtual life.

“Despite the benefits of Web-based collaboration, government employees face an exploding number of opportunities to engage in dangerous cyber-activities. In my new book, Virtual Integrity: Faithfully Navigating the Brave New Web, I coin the phrase "integrity theft" to describe this issue. I've seen some of the best and brightest lose everything - their personal reputations, jobs, marriages or families - by succumbing to these temptations. More often, individuals develop bad cyber-habits that cripple their career growth, harm the business or impact security in various unintentional ways. In reality, integrity theft works as the covert brother to identity theft; both can harm individuals, businesses and governments.”
