Top tech trends pose the biggest security risks, say federal IT leaders - Nextgov

  • Seventy-nine percent of 217 senior IT executives across federal government surveyed by the Ponemon Institute on behalf of software vendor CA viewed the growth in collaboration software applications as a security risk that increases the chance of confidential or sensitive information being compromised. Similarly, 52 percent of respondents said Web 2.0 applications such as social networking, messaging, blogging and wikis contribute to data breaches and botnet attacks that infiltrate computers with malicious code, and 63 percent of respondents saw the susceptibility of mobile devices to malware infections and network intrusion as contributing significantly to endpoint security risks.

What is Gov 2.0? What could be Gov 5.0? « Cartography and Maps in the era of Web 2.0

  • Gov 2.0 – Government as a Platform. Gov 2.0 builds on the Web 2.0 Internet as a Platform principles noted above with a couple of important additions. For governments the value added of Gov 2.0 is leveraging a society’s collective intelligence to solve problems, to grow, by providing access to government data via mechanisms that enable data integration and exploration. To power citizen defined applications, government data needs to be readily accessible with open permissions in usable formats. For example, in Canada, government data is copyright by the Queen in Right of Canada. Irregardless of copyright, permissive licensing can be employed, an example of which is on http://geogratis.gc.ca. Open Data is in keeping with an Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) resolution [C(2008)36] Maximising the availability of public sector information for use and re-use based upon presumption of openness as the default rule to facilitate access and re-use.” http://www.oecd.org/dataoecd/0/27/40826024.pdf

  • Gov 2.0 = Web 2.2 + Service-Oriented Architecture + Standards + OpenData + OpenLicenses
