Why business continuity often fails - Matthes Derdack

Business continuity often fails. The reasons are manifold. If no business continuity plan exists, any response to emergency situations depends on the capabilities and action of solitary individuals. In particular in large-scale events this does not work. But even if business continuity plans exist, they not necessarily work well as they might be outdated, poorly drilled and exercised or even badly designed. Overall, business continuity plans often deal with predictable events and situations only.
However, in particular rare events are not predictable. The reason is described in the concept of the ?black swan event? developed by Nassim Taleb in his book. ?Black swan events? are highly improbable, that is why their impact is heavily underestimated. This is due to our human way of thinking - leading to a wrong correlation between probability and impact. Rare events are associated with small impact.
And then there is this serious and often mistaking issue?relating to?probability and random occurrence . Think of a tossing a coin. The probability?for head and tail is the same, i.e. 50%. But only over a long?series of tosses.?When you?get head the chance for?tail (the next individual outcome)?with your next toss is?still 50%, not higher! So, imagine your business has been running without a major incident for 50 years. That can mean that your business will be able to avoid disastrous incidents for the next 50 years. But, it can also mean that disaster strikes the very next day. The probability of the two potential ?futures? is essentially the same. Additionally, the ?Black Swan? theory suggests that you won?t even know what will be the cause of a potential disaster. It will just strike. So, preparation for any potential causes is impossible for black swan events. If you'd would know about the character and causes of such event, it wouldn't be a black swan event.

Unfortunately, rare (and because they are rare) ?black swan? events are the worst and often result in disaster. Prominent examples include the Deepwater Horizon Oilspill in 2010, the Fukushima nuclear power plant disaster in 2011 or the sinking of the ?Costa Concordia? cruise ship in 2012. One of the characteristics of?serious and dramatic?incidents is their non-linear development, so even a small malfunction can end up in an emergency situation or even in?disaster.

Failing business continuity often starts with poor communication. Notification of critical incidents might be too slow or ineffective or reaches the wrong people. Involvement of C-level executives happens too late to benefit from their access and command over resources to successfully prevent an evolving disaster. So, communicating the right information to the right people at the right time is essential in dealing with threats to business continuity and as well in disaster recovery.

This has also been one lesson from the Hurricane Sandy: "More than power, communication was the issue", said Nicolas Dubus, IT director for Florida-based eTailer CableOrganizer.com, according to CIO magazine.

Pear or heart-shaped, big diamonds sell in Geneva

GENEVA (AP) ? Geneva's jewelry auctions, held in five-star hotels along its elegant lakefront, can seem a continent if not a world away from the grim austerity gripping much of Europe. Two out-of-this-world diamonds are being auctioned off this week, joining a long list of other fabulous jewels, watches and other luxury goods sold in Geneva. Here's a look at the city's most eye-popping diamonds:

PERFECTLY TRANSPARENT

On Tuesday, Christie's auctions off the Archduke Joseph Diamond, which is expected to fetch more than $15 million. The 76.02 carat diamond, with perfect color and internally flawless clarity, came from the ancient Golconda mines in India. Its value just keeps on rising: In 1993, Christie's sold the same diamond here for $6.5 million. Rahul Kadakia, head of jewelry for Christie's Americas and Switzerland, called it "one of the world's most famous and desirable diamonds to appear at auction."

FANCY DEEP BLUE

Sotheby's on Wednesday will auction what it calls an exceptionally rare fancy deep blue briolette?diamond of 10.48 carats expected to get up to $4.5 million. Also on the block ? a conch pearl, enamel and diamond Cartier bracelet that formerly belonged to Queen Victoria Eugenia of Spain that's expected to sell for up to $1.4 million.

ROYAL CONNECTIONS

In May 2012, Sotheby's sold the 34.98 carat Beau Sancy diamond to an anonymous bidder for $9.7 million. Marie de Medici had worn it at her coronation as Queen Consort of Henry IV in France in 1610. Then the diamond passed among the royal families in France, England, the Netherlands and Prussia. It was sold by the Royal House of Prussia. Sotheby's also sold for $3.87 million the Murat Tiara, a pearl-and-diamond tiara created for the marriage of a prince whose ancestors included the husband of Caroline Bonaparte, Napoleon's sister. Christie's auctioned off a 32.08-carat Burmese ruby and diamond ring that sold for $6.7 million, a world record price for a ruby sold at auction.

PEAR-SHAPED

In November 2011, the Sun-Drop Diamond of South Africa, a giant pear-shaped yellow gem weighing 110.3 carats, sold for more than $10.9 million at auction, beating previous records for a jewel of its type. Including commission, the unidentified telephone bidder paid almost $12.4 million for the gem. Other lots at the $70 million sale included a white cushion-shaped diamond weighing 38.88 carats that sold for almost $7 million, including commission.

HEART-SHAPED

In May 2011, Christie's fetched $10.9 million for a 56-carat heart-shaped diamond that was internally flawless and $7.1 million for a 130-carat Burmese sapphire. Sotheby's got $12.7 million for a rare emerald-and-diamond tiara that a fabulously wealthy German prince, Guido Henckel von Donnersmarck, commissioned for his second, Russian-born wife around 1900. An intensely pink 11-carat diamond from the mines of India sold for $10.8 million.

INTENSELY PINK

In November 2010, a rare pink diamond smashed the world record for a jewel at auction, selling for more than $46 million to well-known London jeweler Laurence Graff. Four bidders competed for the pink diamond, which was last sold 60 years earlier by New York jeweler Harry Winston. The seller chose to remain anonymous. The 24.78-carat "fancy intense pink" diamond immediately became known as "The Graff Pink."

Reed Smith Bolsters Real Estate Practice in Falls Church, Va. - The ...

Reed Smith has added a partner to its real estate practice in its Falls Church, Va. office.

David Houston, formerly a partner at Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman's Tysons Corner office, joins as a partner in the real estate practice.

Houston focuses his practice on real estate development, land use and retail leasing. He represents land developers, owner and lenders in Fairfax and Arlington County. Before joining Pillsbury in 2000, Houston was a partner in McGuire Woods' Tysons Corner office.

In an interview, Houston said that Reed Smith's national real estate platform attracted him to the firm. He added that new development in Tysons Corner and the expansion of Metro toward Washington Dulles International Airport will create work.

"There are more opportunities for real estate development in northern Virginia for land use and zoning work," Houston said. "I think it could open new doors for leasing expertise."

Types and Tips for Online Security Threats - Website Magazine

There are many common threats against websites today. According to the National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA) and McAfee, close to one in five Americans report being victimized by a crime that was committed over the Internet. Whether it is a social media website such as Facebook or Twitter, an e-commerce website or a company website, every online platform is vulnerable to security attacks. It?s incumbent upon you to be aware of these types of attacks and make sure you and your hosting company are prepared to handle them.?

While online threats are always evolving, there are a few in particular that are currently popular among hackers:

1. There are?Web application attacks?where hackers exploit vulnerabilities within the website code or Web server security. Common techniques for this include SQL Injection and Cross-site Scripting. A hacker may use an attack like this to extract sensitive information (like credit card data) or post malware, which is then downloaded by unknowing end users of the site.

2. There are?distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks?where hackers attempt to take a website offline by overwhelming it with traffic rather than trying to gain access to sensitive data. Botnets of potentially thousands (and thousands) of infected computers spread out around the world are typically used to launch these types of attacks that can last for multiple hours or even days. Outages caused by DDoS attacks can result in heavy financial loss, as well as significant damage to a company?s reputation.?

3. There are also?social engineering attacks?where hackers trick humans into giving them privileged information over the phone or via email, which is then used to log into unauthorized systems. Phishing is an example of this ? this is when a hacker sends an email that appears to be legitimate and tricks the email recipient into typing his or her login/password into a website that resembles the real site. The hacker then uses that login/password to gain access to the real website.

Within the last several years, Sony, LinkedIn, Zappos, Yahoo, the South Carolina Department of Revenue and several major universities have all been victims of security breaches that exposed the personal data of millions of people. Meanwhile, large-scale DDoS attacks have knocked a number of high-profile websites offline, including Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase, MasterCard, NASDAQ, the FBI and the CIA.

With each of these types of security attacks, companies need to be aware that no matter how large or small they are, hackers are constantly looking for weaknesses within websites.?

Below are a few simple tips on how to reduce the risk of the most common threats that will pay tenfold in the long run:?

1. Using a Web application firewall (WAF) is a very effective way to help defend your website against application attacks that attempt to extract sensitive data from your site. A Web application firewall sits in front of your website and filters all requests, blocking requests that match the pattern of common attacks such as SQL Injection and Cross-site Scripting. Imperva?s Cloud WAF is an affordable software-as-a-service (SaaS) product for small to mid-enterprise businesses that offers the highest levels of website security without requiring a large equipment investment.

2. A common misconception about distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks is the idea that your Web hosting provider will be able to stop any attack against your website with the firewalls within their data center. The reality is that these attacks continue to increase with intensity and regularly overrun even the most powerful of firewalls, causing outages for your website. The best defense against these types of attacks is to have protection through a DDoS mitigation provider that can filter requests through their scrubbing centers before the attack reaches your site?s infrastructure. These scrubbing centers allow legitimate traffic to continue through to your website while stopping the attack traffic that is attempting to knock your website offline.?

3. Organizations can better protect themselves against social engineering attacks by training employees on security issues and going over specific methods that hackers may use to trick them into giving up personal information. For example, some common techniques used by hackers include acting like an internal employee or pretending that they?re conducting a survey as a way to justify the types of questions they?re asking. It?s important for employees to know that if they?re suspicious of a call or email, to ask their manager before releasing the information.

Organizations should create an incident response procedure to be used in the event that your website?s security is breached. As part of the procedure, your organization should notify the necessary authorities regarding the attack. This includes your local FBI office as well as the major credit card associations if card data is exposed during the attack.
