Cybercriminals are changing how they target financial institutions this holiday season: some 80% of them are going after vulnerable customers rather than the institutions themselves. A new report from Akamai also found a massive 257% increase in the number of web applications and API attacks against the financial services sector in the past year. Other important findings include: Customer account takeover attempts represent more than 40% of attack types, with another 40% focusing on website scraping used to create more convincing phishing scams.

Three Types of Problematic Consulting ClientsIf you’re an independent client and you’re looking to add one or more clients to your project list or you’re looking for that next big gig, then you may not be thinking clearly and looking for the warning signs.

Your advertising has worked and you’ve made contact with a potential client who has a need and thinks they might want your consulting services. That’s the easy part. Now you’re ready to sit down with the potential client and get details on what it is they think they need.

Here is a discussion of fi ..read more

I’d like to discuss the how we determine the data requirements for our issue management and our change control needs on the projects we manage. We capture issues, but what else do we need to capture? What data is needed to fully understand the issues, track them, assign them, and ultimately resolve them? What data do we need to capture and track for change requests and change orders on the projects we manage? All of these are key questions and all highlight the fact that the data we capture is critical to the ongoing nature of the work we do and report on for these engagements. Without the rig ..read more

I’m not going to say that this is the complete list of the top 15 mistakes that every project manager makes…we’re all different. But through my experience in organizations, with colleagues, and my own shortcomings, this list of 15 mistakes is what I have resolved to call my own personal “top 15”. I fully realize that there are hundreds of mistakes waiting out there for project managers to make. I've probably made many more than just the list in this series of articles somewhere along the way in my 25 year IT career.  One thing I like to believe is that I've learned from my mistakes and fr ..read more
