Question
"Fort Knox" for E-commerce
Should "Designers" really be in charge of the refined tasks
of
developing an e-commerce site or handling sensitive personal information?
To be honest, I think Governments should step in and form a "Fort Knox"
for Internet data.
Here in the U.S., we have a system for securing the production of money,
we also have a place called Fort Knox that is a highly secured "bank"
that we, as Americans can count on to keep our gold reserves safe.
Why do we think, just because it's "data" that we don't have to be just
as concerned about it being taken as truckload of gold bars?
I think we need the same sort of thing for E-commerce transactions.
There are just too many hackers and too many people with limited
database skills handling very sensitive information and I think it's
time to formalize the systems that secure data.
