Integrity, the core of IT

Saw this post over at Day in the Life of an Information Security Investigator about integrity.

    An interesting, albeit anonymous, comment left on a previous post: In my Firm’s IT group (3 techs and 3 application support/trainers) we don’t have people dedicated to help desk – it’s part of everyone’s job.

    Nothing like coming in and finding a laptop that won’t boot and a bad video driver screwing with a monitor image waiting for you first thing. Fun, fun… Update: Got the laptop to boot, disabling the Palm HotSync software at startup seems to have done the trick. Bad Palm! The monitor is proving to be…
