The need for compliance and litigation readiness is no longer a US-specific requirement, but one that also crosses the pond to reach the UK. Now the debate has shifted to the issue of whose responsibility it is to make sure that a company complies with data retention and deletion requirements set out by regulatory bodies such as the FSA, and by laws such as the Data Protection Act and the UK Companies Act, and how this is best achieved.

Ever-escalating spam levels are close to tearing the commercial guts out of any business and organisation that relies on email as a primary method of business communication. Action is needed now - at governmental levels - if the spam menace is not to undermine global economies. The growing army of zombie computers must be defeated now if we are to control spam in the future. Botnet controllers have better business continuity plans than many e-commerce businesses.

Canada has been striving hard to bring a formally-recognised IT professional certification to the industry for almost 20 years; so, what can the rest of the world learn from its experience? The current debate surrounding the need for a chartered IT professional status stretches further than the UK, and some other countries have made significant legal headway in establishing it; Canada is a prime case in point. Canada has been a leader in promoting IT professionalism at the highest levels. Canadian Information Processing Society (CIPS) works with universities to accredit their computer science programmes, so that graduates can use their degrees as a stepping stone to ISP designation. Creating a legally-recognised professional certification for IT practitioners is one thing but getting it widely recognised by industry is quite another. CIPs continue to lobby provinces concerning the former, while working with national and international organisations to do latter. Canada is a little over twice the age of the fledgling IT industry that it is trying to formalise and refine into a chartered profession. It has embarked on a significant challenge, and the UK can learn much from following the course of its progress.

This article discusses the explosions of regulations in IT security. Injustice through information manipulation is big business. This has been a response to the growing ability of criminals and unscrupulous corporations to take advantage of electronic data. While legislators and governing bodies are fighting a rearguard action against impropriety and illegality, information professionals occupy the very point where the buck stops. They are guardians of corporate information through storage, communications and continuity plans, and they are also facilitators for automated processes, data collection and governance. But it's not just legislation; there is also a selection of standards, guidelines and best practices to consider.

The disk drive is still a central component for most computing systems -ranging from mobile devices and digital audio/video equipment to laptops, supercomputers and Internet systems. Storage needs continue to escalate, and, although flash memory is starting to replace conventional hard-drives at the PC level, disk-based units continue to be the mainstay of storage systems. In this article, the author looks back at IBM's pioneering work in this vital technology.

It's time business leaders grasped a little more about the technology driving their business if they want to keep ahead in the competitive commercial world. The need for the chief information officer (CIO) to better understand business, the need for the IT manager to engage more with his internal clients, the clamour for IT departments to deliver while cutting costs; it appears IT manager baiting has become a new sport for board directors of UK plc, but not all business owners and IT professional agree to disagree. Our six point memorandum calls for boards to be reasonable in their expectations of IT.
