Netiquette IQ Blog Of 3/11/17 - Hazardous Emails



====================================================






The follow is an excerpt from my book, "Netiquette IQ . . ." If you wish to understand some of the elements which contribute negatively to our communication, both personal and professional, this is a great advanced summation. For a closer look at the book, follow the links below.


Hazardous emails

        Recently the American Management Association) and ePolicy Institute conducted a survey and found 80 percent of 526 companies had a formal email policy. There are no longer excuses for errors in emails (from a legal, corporate, or personal perspective). Appropriate Netiquette extends beyond the commonsense basic values contained in its core principals. Netiquette encompasses the privileges that individuals are afforded and entrusted with during employment.
        Much like utilizing a desk, kitchenette, or audio-visual equipment at one’s place of employment, the email infrastructure is the property of the employer and is owed respect, consideration, and requisite adherence to both common sense and implicit corporate rules. Netiquette encompasses respect and adherence for the following:
1.   Maintaining the company’s reputation
2.   Preventing sexual or illegal workplace harassment
3.   Defamation, libel
4.   Data leakage
5.   Compliance violation (HIPPA, etc.)

Topics to avoid

1.   Terrorism
2.   Committing crimes
3.   Sexual explicitness
4.   Conspiratorial dialogue:
a.   Delete this
b.   No one will find out
c.   Is this legal
d.   What happens if we get caught
e.   Or else!
f.    Unless this is done, then…
5.   Racism
6.   Sexism
7.   Violence
8.   Sedition
9.   Extreme hatred or anger
10.  Revenge
11.  Toxic emails  (this is a figurative term for damaging)
12.  Employment change on business accounts

        Emails about anyone’s medical condition (e.g., chemotherapy, CT scan, MRI) should not be written. HIPPA legislation was enacted to ensure that people are protected against having their information exposed electronically.
        One should always avoid using one’s company name in a personal blog, as there may be a policy against it.
        One should refrain from disclosing details such as financials, pricing ,or technical details about another company outside your organization when a nondisclosure may be in place.
        Social invitations, such as a request for a date, are to be avoided on company email. If sexual harassment is ever claimed, there is an electronic record. This can be, arguably, a form of proof.

Gigamon Visibility for AWS


With the rapid evolution of the public cloud that brings instant advantages of economies of scale, elasticity and agility, IT and data center administrators are re-evaluating their investments to deploy or scale applications on-premise.  They either deploy new applications in the public cloud or use the public cloud for additional needs to augment the on-premise private cloud.  In either case, what enterprises end up with is a hybrid cloud environment.  Other enterprises start in the cloud with no physical data center footprint, commonly referred to as a born-in-the-cloud model.  Unlike SaaS environments, in which application ownership and security of information is the responsibility of the SaaS provider, an Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), or public cloud environment, places the responsibility of application and information security on the enterprise.
So, how does an enterprise which has migrated or deployed workloads into the public cloud manage, secure and understand its data traversing the public cloud?
