INTEGRITY ISSUESWWW .GOVTECHBLOGS.COM/SECURING_GOVSPACE/
“Security-conscious professionals are often stereotyped as the equivalent of “Dr. No”
As cyber-space rapidly changes over the next decade, we need a paradigm shift in thinking about employees' virtual life.
Cyber-space activities are grabbing an ever-growing influence over home and work life. Virtual life intermingles with real life as never before, and the blurry distinction between the two will become even grayer as the 21st century progresses.”

“Despite the benefits of Web-based collaboration, government employees face an exploding number of opportunities to engage in dangerous cyber-activities. In my new book, Virtual Integrity: Faithfully Navigating the Brave New Web, I coin the phrase "integrity theft" to describe this issue. I've seen some of the best and brightest lose everything - their personal reputations, jobs, marriages or families - by succumbing to these temptations. More often, individuals develop bad cyber-habits that cripple their career growth, harm the business or impact security in various unintentional ways. In reality, integrity theft works as the covert brother to identity theft; both can harm individuals, businesses and governments.”
