the eds meeting was pretty uneventiful in the end yesterday. our
contracts are being tranferred next monday but nothing else is changing in the
short term. and i have found that it is best not to assume anything beyond the
next renewal anyway so i will just forget about it until the end of february
now.
more interestingly (for those of a geeky nature) i have been asked to go along
to an audit meeting today to explain why one of our systems (a relatively
insecure crm application) does not use dual-factor
authentication. it should be pretty fun as my natural inclination is to
only add security where it is necessary, while audit and compliance will always
work from the position that all data should be ultimately secure unless there
is a reason to open it up. normally we meet somewhere in the middle but for
some reason (i am guessing political) that i am not aware of this round is
being more torturous than usual.
