Sitehound

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Matthew from the company that makes Mailwasher sent me an email to let me know about their new product, an IE toolbar called Sitehound:

The SiteHound toolbar is your first line of defense against internet threats including phishing, scams, spyware, adware, security risks and viruses from rogue websites.

SiteHound is free to use, or you can upgrade to the enhanced version.

Now I don’t use IE much, and I don’t spend much time at questionable websites, so I know my machine won’t be much of a real field test, but I might try it out anyway. Anyone else want to give us a more thorough rundown? If you do, feel free to let me know if you post it somewhere, or if you want to post it here, I’ll make a post available for ya’.

    Scoble has stopped his experimental blog. As he says, he’s reached a point where some folks think he’s “stealing their content” by reposting it to an aggregated blog. It’s an interesting idea, but I think they’re wrong, although I’m not a lawyer and I certainly think he’s probably wise to shut it down until he…

  • Your People Are Routing Around Your IT Security

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    That combination of things points to one, larger, issue. There’s a pretty large communication gap between IT and business users. The security restrictions that exist are getting in the way of people getting work done, and rather than ask for them to be changed, users simply work around them using their own tools, maybe even their own laptops, or network connections, and the IT folks don’t even know this is happening.

    That’s a recipe for disaster. It might be time to work on communicating with your users, and of course when I say “communicate” that absolutely means listening too.
