→ Virtualization with Sid Smith (by Sid Smith)
This blog will include situations and scenarios that affect everyone deploying Virtualization today. I will be mainly focusing on VMware, Hyper-V, and Xen but will cover topics related to storage, networking, and other areas that have a high impact on the success of your Virtualization initiative.

→ Getting past the Geek Speak (by Derek Kuhr)
Being a great IT Pro is often more than being the fastest to solve an issue. It is often the ability to recommend really cool (or sometimes really simple) solutions, practices, etc. that help customers execute their businesses more efficiently and more profitably. I explain this and more on my blog.

→ Think Privacy (by Matthew Barach)
This blog addresses timely privacy topics including behavioral advertising, Red Flag Rules, the new Massachusetts regulations, HIPAA, GLBA, data transfer, cloud computing and other emerging privacy issues, laws, regulations and challenges that organizations will continue to face.

→ Business Intelligence Technology (by Jay Dugan)
This blog will examine an array of technology solutions and present them in a business context. Areas of security, business continuity, networking and databases with an emphasis on business intelligence, will be covered, plus anything else that involves business and IT that comes to mind.

SOX, GLBA and HIPAA! Oh, my!

SOX. GLBA. HIPAA. FISMA. FFIEC. COBIT. COSO. ISO 27001. Do these acronyms cause your blood pressure to climb? There’s no doubt the role of IT has gotten more complicated in the last decade and there’s more to come. That’s why I’m pleased to announce a new member blog, called Regulatory Compliance, Governance and Security.

IT faces a wave of regulatory compliance laws, legislation and mandates, such as Sarbanes Oxley, HIPAA and Gramm Leach Bliley (GLBA). How do you prepare and what benchmarks and standards are used for these compliance audits? This blog will assess, analyze and dive into these topics and many more.— Charles Denyer

Join me in welcoming Charles Denyer to our IT Knowledge Exchange community. Charles’ expertise includes SAS 70 audits, Regulation AB Item 1122/1123 compliance, Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) compliance, corporate governance, regulatory compliance and security issues and trends.

I want to thank all of our bloggers on IT Knowledge Exchange. They’re a great bunch to work with and I commend them for sharing their expertise with the community. Have you considered blogging? We’ll help you start your own blog and build up a readership of your peers. Thanks.
