Table of ContentsDear reader,
I’m delighted to be given the honor to address you in anticipation of the e-Democracy Conference
2011.
It was a splendid opportunity to host the first regional Conference dedicated to the promotion and
development of information society. The success of the previous conference and the praises
received from the participants have encouraged us even more to get involved in the sharing of the
e-Democracy cause and the enhancement of e-Government society.
With the same enthusiasm and even greater expectations, this year again we host the
e-Democracy Conference 2011 in the beautiful city of Ohrid, from 25th to 27th September.
Motivated by the previous results, this year we are even more determined to promote e-Democracy
values, debate about the challenges of good governance and the ways to overcome them by using
state-of-the-art ICT solutions. We strongly believe successful e-government is about restructuring
existing business processes; providing solid government-citizen interaction and strengthening the
bonds between governments and their stakeholders.
Being inspired by a decade of prosperous existence on the market, in this issue we would like to
highlight our oldest and most recognized product, Nextsense webBuilder Content Management
System. We’re proud to present the features of this solution, its benefits and successful
implementations.
Thank you for being part of this exciting adventure. I hope you will enjoy this issue!

BACKGROUND
The e-Democracy Conference 2010 addressed from both the policy and technical perspectives, how the use of ICT can help improve democracy, transparency, accountability and effectiveness in the public institutions. The event was co-organized by Nextsense and the Centre for e-Governance Development for South East Europe (CeGD).
STRUCTURE AND TOPICS OF THE CONFERENCE
The program of the conference was structured aroundthree core work-streams:
• ICT in legislative knowledge management
• How ICT can transform the work of parliament and government
• Parliament and Democracy in the Twenty-first century
The conference included two panel sessions, one for the parliaments and Governments and one for the Official Journals as well as three case study presentations about e-government solutions successfully implemented by Nextsense:
• The e-Parliament solution in the Assembly of the Republic of Macedonia,
• The e-cabinet system in the Government of Albania and
• The legislative management system in the Official Journal of the Republic of Macedonia.
CONFERENCE CONCLUSIONS AND FINAL REMARKS
The advancement of the Information Society calls for the involvement of diverse stakeholders, including international organizations; governments, parliaments and other public institutions; the private sector; academia and the civil society.
Our aim is to integrate these stakeholders and develop a knowledge sharing platform that will enable us to continuously exchange experiences and thoughts about the e-Democracy enhancement in the region.
THESE ARE THE MAIN CONCLUSIONS THAT WERE BROUGHT AT THE E-DEMOCRACY CONFERENCE 2010:
• Macedonia has a very big advantage in implementing ICT in the public institutions compared to the countries in the region. The Macedonian positive experiences regarding the implementation of e-government solutions should be used as an example for the other countries in the region.
• New ICT technologies, especially social networking should be used for empowering citizens to take action in representative democracy. Capitalize on the benefits of ICT to function effectively, to interact with the public, and to collaborate with other public institutions around the world.
• Permanent regional cooperation and share of vision is essential for e-Democracy. The SEE region has a unique
e-Participation potential in relation to the Western Europe. When we say that the public institutions should collaborate between themselves, we do not only mean collaboration between institutions in the same country, but also regional collaboration that would provide exchange of experiences and good practices. This e-Democracy Conference is an example of how public institutions, politicians, policy makers, experts from international organizations, academia and business can be gathered in order to engage in dialog on the role that ICT can play in improving democracy.
• Institutions shall build social trust, transparency and accountability. All public institutions should be transparent and accountable in their work by providing to citizens not just general information about the institution but also more specific documents and information concerning legislation, budget, activities of members etc.
• Transformational government (citizen-centricity, skills). e-Participation is not a choice: e participation will happen whether you like it or not. A government’s only choice is whether to react defensively to it, or to engage pro-actively in ways which create public value.
• Planning and management are very important for successful implementation of e-Democracy. The public institutions should have a long term vision about their development and based on that vision they should develop a strategic plan with included schedules, milestones and resource allocation (human, financial, internal, external etc.)
• Having the necessary political will and commitment is crucial for the successful implementation of e-Democracy. Democracy and ICT themselves are not enough to realize the vision about making public institutions transparent, accountable and accessible unless there is somebody that can carry out that vision and provide the necessary support and leadership for the implementation of that vision.

In order to make the e-Democracy conference event more accessible to the participants and the other interested individuals and social groups, Nextsense managed to transfer all of the conference’s activities on the social media channels like Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and LinkedIn.
Our YouTube channel is the perfect place where people can see all the videos related to the previous conference and sense the working and friendly atmosphere at the Conference.
Facebook users can easily communicate and share experiences regarding the conference and other related e-Democracy and e-Government topics on our Facebook page, named E-Democracy Conference 2011.
Twitter was used to briefly communicate all event information, as well as to share relevant news and make friends with other fellow-twitterers involved in the field of e-Democracy and e-Government. Least but not last, you can find the e-Democracy Conference discussion group on LinkedIn. We hope to gather professionals involved in the field of e-Democracy and foster bigger communication that would give us ideas that can be debated on the Conference.
At Nextsense we believe successful e-government is about restructuring existing business processes; providing communication and information exchange among administrative agencies; creating new bonds between governments, their stakeholders and citizens; and fostering economic development across the region.
Driven by the outstanding success of the e-Democracy Conference 2010, we are proud to announce the e-Democracy Conference 2011. With the same enthusiasm and even greater expectations, this year again we host the e-Democracy Conference 2011 in the beautiful city of Ohrid, from 25th to 27th September.
The conference will once again bring together the top of the e-government community and will provide a unique opportunity for an interactive forum that will allow the participants to exchange their knowledge, thoughts and ideas regarding the e-Democracy concepts in the region.
The e-Democracy Conference 2011 will be the place where members of public institutions such as: parliaments, governments, official journals, experts from international organizations and academics will have the opportunity to exchange ideas and views about the use of ICT in public institutions, analyze good practices and learn from each other’s experiences.

Inspiring: It was an honour for me to speak in the name of Microsoft before such a distinguished group of leaders from governments, national assemblies, international groups and nongovernmental organizations.
The most advanced level of an e-government strategy is to put in place popular, efficient and visible and better online services for citizens. E-Governance initiatives such as the e-Democracy Conference, have a particularly significant impact, as they have the effect of enhancing the democratic process and show how ICT can transform the work of parliaments and governments, and are the basis for effective participatory governance.

The most advanced level of an e-government strategy is to put in place popular, efficient and visible and better online services for citizens. E-Governance initiatives such as the e-Democracy Conference, have a particularly significant impact, as they have the effect of enhancing the democratic process and show how ICT can transform the work of parliaments and governments, and are the basis for effective participatory governance.

The essential functions of the Law Approximation Database (LAD) are to:
• Store up-to-date information on National and EU legislation;
• Store up-to-date information on correlations and compatibility levels between EU and national legal acts;
• Serve as a tool to assess, plan and monitor the process of approximation and harmonization of the National and EU legislation;
• Have reporting features that would make the process of preparing the NPISAA more efficient;

System for the Approximationof national legislation with EU Acquis
10
The system for the Approximation of national legislation
with EU Acquis is implemented in the Ministry for European
Integration in Albania as part of the Support to the Ministry
of European Integration of Albania II (SMEI II) project. The
overall objective of the project is to support the Albania in
implementing the Stabilisation and Association
Agreement-SAA and in the preparation of the country for the
accession to the European Union.
The system for the allocation of the EU acquis to the responsible
institutions manages the process of Approximation of the national
legislation with European legislation (acquis communitere). This
information system is based on the database of the EU legislation which is
regularly updated with new and modified EU measures.
One of the biggest advantages of the software solution for allocation of the EU
legislative measures to the responsible line ministries is its interoperability and the
same technology platform as the Nextsense e-Cabinet system.
The functionalities of the acquis distribution system are further enhanced with the setting
of the Law Approximation Database and the development of a collaboration tool for
preparation of the narrative part of the NPISAA document.

Implemented by:Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ)
– German Technical Co-operation
Timeline: September 2009 - September 2011
Project beneficiary: The Ministry of European Integration
Purpose: Strengthen the administrative capacity of MEI to:
• Manage the SAA implementation
• Perform the NIPAC’s responsibilities
• Improve the legal coordination process
• Ensure the sustainability of EU related reforms
• Improve the inter-ministerial coordination mechanisms
The core functionalities of the collaboration tool for preparation of the National Plan for Implementation of Stabilization and Association Agreement (NPISAA):
• Support team work and collaboration in the process of preparation;
• Powerful tool for the coordinators, which enables them to have an up-to-date overview of the process and document status in any given moment (reporting);
• Support division and delegation of the work to working groups as well as automatic compilation of the document;
• Support flexible assignment and management of the working group members and their roles within the process.

Virtualization storyVirtualization – Did you get one for yourself ?Virtualization has become a very hot topic between the managers of all types, shapes and sizes. Not only IT managers talk
about it but all of the “(SELECT*Manager )” population, putting all kinds of tags to it like cutting costs, optimizing services,
downsizing the IT, consolidating hardware, achieving dynamic IT etc. This just proves that the techy guys have really
successfully sold the virtualization story. Now, as you may all expect, there are a lots of tips’n tricks + “things to be
considered & done” for a story to become a true story, especially to become a successful one.
Test driving virtualizationThe good news is that finally, people start thinking about the virtualization like
actually buying a Ferrari. The slight difference between the Ferrari story and the
virtualization is that with the virtualization – more or less, everybody can, if not
already has, tried one. That’s the top selling point, you can try some of it, on your
lap-top, on your home computer, at your lab environment and usually it’s what you
see that gets you hot. Imagine – to be able to try a Ferrari in the same way ?
So everybody says – Let’s virtualize, let’s virtualize everything, let’s do it today!! -
Yeah, right!
18 19virtualizationvirtualization
Although the virtualization may seem quite
tempting and straight forward just a scratch
under the surface will discover the billion
vortexes waiting under the surface.
Successful virtualization story relies on some
heavy planning, adequate investment and real dedication. Just
like a Ferrari, Virtualization relies on overall quality - quality of the
hardware, quality of the virtualization platform, quality of the
monitoring & management software, quality of the
implementation, quality of everything and just like Ferrari – it
won’t take any compromises; serious performance requires
seriousness all the way. An intro example, when you lose a virtual
Host, you actually lose all of the virtual servers running on it, most
likely with all of the services those servers were offering, leading
the way to a potential disaster scenario.
So when you jump to conclusion that you should choose
virtualization as a solution, take a step back, sit, relax and think
again. No! - I don’t say you shouldn’t virtualize, I just say don’t
jump to it, cause it will bounce you off. Just be sure to carefully
consider all of the aspects of it: pros, cons, partners, consultants,
suppliers, SLA’s etc. before you enter the virtualization
adventure.
Virtualization may be a blessing. If properly planned,
implemented, tested, monitored and backed up, it can present
unbeatable ROI and become irreplaceable resource of asset
consolidation thus multiplying IT benefits. But, if you just
“virtualize”, skipping only one of those required steps mentioned
above, you’re getting yourself a potential time bomb, simply
waiting to go off and get you your nightmares.
Virtualization – blessing or curse?
Virtualization – Getting there!
Key Factors to be considered HW - servers & bladesBe sure to properly plan the CPU & RAM
workloads of your virtual environment. Don’t
forget to include the predicted growth. The
HW will (most likely) perform as stated in the
product sheets, leaving the possibility for mistakes at your own
planning side. If You plan to virtualize consider: not having a spare
part or taking it eternity to be obtained DOES leave you with not
just one failed physical sever, but all of the virtual servers running
on that host. So now, the efficiency of the SLA’s with your
hardware vendors REALLY gets into play. Just like with the spare
parts for your Ferrari, don’t make compromises with the hardware
used for virtualization.
HW- storageStorage vendors also evangelize virtualization. Understandingly,
the logical choice for the location of all those virtual machines will
be – “The storage”. Storage level de-duplication and especially
inter storage asynchronous replication usually is the selling tip! Be
careful, de-duplication and replication are usually Storage-Vendor
proprietary which can be tying in choices making you go all the
way with a single storage vendor, and than, once you’re tied to it
you find out that their proprietary virtualization High Availability
vendor specific software that comes into play besides being priced
sky-high doesn’t meet your requirements or has some limitations
that were not stated in the selling brochure. Tip- Be sure to know
the exact de-duplication and replication capabilities of the storage
product you’re about to purchase lined up with your own
virtualization de-duplication and replication requirements. Also,
some storage vendors do not support or have “prizey” add-ons if
you want to utilize storage based back-ups.
Virtualization platform - HypervisorWe are all witnesses of the Hyper-V vs. VMWare battle. There is a
thin line that differentiates them one from another. Both of them
have their pros and cons. It’s a fact that VMWare has a longer
history in the virtualization arena but, Microsoft Hyper-V on the
other hand beats it with price and integration with its monitoring
and management software. The verdict ? We always go with
something that has proved to be invaluable – availability of local
experts knowledge and support – that is. In our case Microsoft’s
Hyper-V wins the battle.
Virtualization platform – Management & Operations One thing that you will find out just as you deploy your first pure
Hyper-V host is that it does not provide you with a GUI. What about
managing multiple Hyper-V/VMWare hosts or Highly Available
Hyper-V/ESX host Farm? The answer to that is deployment of
adequate monitoring & management tools, and if they are
optimized for Virtual environments the better. One logical answer
can be the Microsoft System Center portfolio products (SC
Configuration Manager, SC Operations Manager, SC Virtual
Machine Manager). In this way you get yourself a unified set of
integrated tools for deployment, monitoring, change, control and
management of your overall environment. In particular, SCVMM is
the management tool that enables you to establish and control all
of the aspects of your virtual environment including the live
migration of the virtual hosts together with the high availability.
There are many things that should be
considered during the planning process and
unlike anything until now, virtualization and
it’s related technologies take us one step
higher in the planning process. With
virtualization we can get over the concept of high available hosts
and really deep dive into service high availability. The freedom to
automatically provision and deploy virtual machines and
seamlessly move them over from one host to another make “The
server” no longer unit of High Availability measurement, now it’s
“The service”. This approach also changes the complete concept of
High Availability, Disaster Recovery & Backup strategies. The
advanced HA possibilities for host and services, Live migration and
performance scalability are just a drop in the sea of possibilities
which just work fantastic in “PowerPoint”. Getting them properly
configured and working in real life is a “slightly” different story. It
takes some real world knowledge and extensive hands-on and
experience to get them sidelined with the business requirements
and expectations, properly planed and implemented.
This leads us to the one thing that we all face every day - the wrong
understanding and perception of the possibilities of the underlying
hardware and software technologies. Building the right
understanding of the HW/SW possibilities is the key to successful
virtualization project.
So, have your service layout planned upfront which will dictate the
required server/service disposition, which will bring you to your HA
requirement plan. Clearly state this plan as a requirement in front
of your HW, Storage, Software, Service vendors, and ask: Can You
do it? Can You guarantee? Most of them will state themselves as
“Virtualization Ready” but are they really? Are there things written
at the bottom of the page with unreadable small font, usually
marked with an asterisk, stating i.e. that you need to buy
proprietary monitoring and management software specially priced
(read “skyhigh”) if used with virtualization ? Can they provide You
with the whole service/server/HA/DR/Backup picture? Have they
ever implemented it?
Our advice: Just like implementing any technology - It’s always
better to consult someone who has already done it, the more the
better. Choosing the right virtualization Partner proves to be the
most important step in any major virtualization project.
Any Questions ?
The Ferrari anologyWhen talking about virtualization the emotions are
like talking about Ferrari – it’s an icon at it least,
everybody has heard about it, everybody wants
one, and suddenly everybody desperately needs
one. You see, possessing a Ferrari is not only
about speed, prestige and high adrenaline – it’s a lifestyle. It’s not
only the money (well for most of us that’s the first obstacle :)) or
image in question but it’s the ability to safely drive it and properly
maintain it. The factory in Maranello has its own sports track where
potential buyers of their TOP models are brought for drive skills
training before they become eligible to buy a Ferrari.
The real question is do you really need a Ferrari or you just need a
better vehicle? – Although it’s an icon, not everybody needs it. If
you’re into car racing, than you really need one and you will get the
most out of it, cover the costs, multiply on the benefits and bless
your choice. But If you only want to have one, just to have it, or
because everybody else wants to have it, and use it just to go to
work with it, with all of its perfection and performance, be ready to
get some serious spending that can be justified only through your
public image.
Now wait a minute, am I just saying that possessing a Ferrari is a
bad thing? NOOO! – actually, it can be one of the best things that
can happen to you. I am just saying that if you’ re not cautious and
aware enough upfront, it can certainly drain your budget, make
your neighbors (your husband/wife included) envy, get you a lot of
speeding tickets and certainly implant few sin-full thoughts in your
head.

Virtualization storyVirtualization – Did you get one for yourself ?Virtualization has become a very hot topic between the managers of all types, shapes and sizes. Not only IT managers talk
about it but all of the “(SELECT*Manager )” population, putting all kinds of tags to it like cutting costs, optimizing services,
downsizing the IT, consolidating hardware, achieving dynamic IT etc. This just proves that the techy guys have really
successfully sold the virtualization story. Now, as you may all expect, there are a lots of tips’n tricks + “things to be
considered & done” for a story to become a true story, especially to become a successful one.
Test driving virtualizationThe good news is that finally, people start thinking about the virtualization like
actually buying a Ferrari. The slight difference between the Ferrari story and the
virtualization is that with the virtualization – more or less, everybody can, if not
already has, tried one. That’s the top selling point, you can try some of it, on your
lap-top, on your home computer, at your lab environment and usually it’s what you
see that gets you hot. Imagine – to be able to try a Ferrari in the same way ?
So everybody says – Let’s virtualize, let’s virtualize everything, let’s do it today!! -
Yeah, right!
18 19virtualizationvirtualization
Although the virtualization may seem quite
tempting and straight forward just a scratch
under the surface will discover the billion
vortexes waiting under the surface.
Successful virtualization story relies on some
heavy planning, adequate investment and real dedication. Just
like a Ferrari, Virtualization relies on overall quality - quality of the
hardware, quality of the virtualization platform, quality of the
monitoring & management software, quality of the
implementation, quality of everything and just like Ferrari – it
won’t take any compromises; serious performance requires
seriousness all the way. An intro example, when you lose a virtual
Host, you actually lose all of the virtual servers running on it, most
likely with all of the services those servers were offering, leading
the way to a potential disaster scenario.
So when you jump to conclusion that you should choose
virtualization as a solution, take a step back, sit, relax and think
again. No! - I don’t say you shouldn’t virtualize, I just say don’t
jump to it, cause it will bounce you off. Just be sure to carefully
consider all of the aspects of it: pros, cons, partners, consultants,
suppliers, SLA’s etc. before you enter the virtualization
adventure.
Virtualization may be a blessing. If properly planned,
implemented, tested, monitored and backed up, it can present
unbeatable ROI and become irreplaceable resource of asset
consolidation thus multiplying IT benefits. But, if you just
“virtualize”, skipping only one of those required steps mentioned
above, you’re getting yourself a potential time bomb, simply
waiting to go off and get you your nightmares.
Virtualization – blessing or curse?
Virtualization – Getting there!
Key Factors to be considered HW - servers & bladesBe sure to properly plan the CPU & RAM
workloads of your virtual environment. Don’t
forget to include the predicted growth. The
HW will (most likely) perform as stated in the
product sheets, leaving the possibility for mistakes at your own
planning side. If You plan to virtualize consider: not having a spare
part or taking it eternity to be obtained DOES leave you with not
just one failed physical sever, but all of the virtual servers running
on that host. So now, the efficiency of the SLA’s with your
hardware vendors REALLY gets into play. Just like with the spare
parts for your Ferrari, don’t make compromises with the hardware
used for virtualization.
HW- storageStorage vendors also evangelize virtualization. Understandingly,
the logical choice for the location of all those virtual machines will
be – “The storage”. Storage level de-duplication and especially
inter storage asynchronous replication usually is the selling tip! Be
careful, de-duplication and replication are usually Storage-Vendor
proprietary which can be tying in choices making you go all the
way with a single storage vendor, and than, once you’re tied to it
you find out that their proprietary virtualization High Availability
vendor specific software that comes into play besides being priced
sky-high doesn’t meet your requirements or has some limitations
that were not stated in the selling brochure. Tip- Be sure to know
the exact de-duplication and replication capabilities of the storage
product you’re about to purchase lined up with your own
virtualization de-duplication and replication requirements. Also,
some storage vendors do not support or have “prizey” add-ons if
you want to utilize storage based back-ups.
Virtualization platform - HypervisorWe are all witnesses of the Hyper-V vs. VMWare battle. There is a
thin line that differentiates them one from another. Both of them
have their pros and cons. It’s a fact that VMWare has a longer
history in the virtualization arena but, Microsoft Hyper-V on the
other hand beats it with price and integration with its monitoring
and management software. The verdict ? We always go with
something that has proved to be invaluable – availability of local
experts knowledge and support – that is. In our case Microsoft’s
Hyper-V wins the battle.
Virtualization platform – Management & Operations One thing that you will find out just as you deploy your first pure
Hyper-V host is that it does not provide you with a GUI. What about
managing multiple Hyper-V/VMWare hosts or Highly Available
Hyper-V/ESX host Farm? The answer to that is deployment of
adequate monitoring & management tools, and if they are
optimized for Virtual environments the better. One logical answer
can be the Microsoft System Center portfolio products (SC
Configuration Manager, SC Operations Manager, SC Virtual
Machine Manager). In this way you get yourself a unified set of
integrated tools for deployment, monitoring, change, control and
management of your overall environment. In particular, SCVMM is
the management tool that enables you to establish and control all
of the aspects of your virtual environment including the live
migration of the virtual hosts together with the high availability.
There are many things that should be
considered during the planning process and
unlike anything until now, virtualization and
it’s related technologies take us one step
higher in the planning process. With
virtualization we can get over the concept of high available hosts
and really deep dive into service high availability. The freedom to
automatically provision and deploy virtual machines and
seamlessly move them over from one host to another make “The
server” no longer unit of High Availability measurement, now it’s
“The service”. This approach also changes the complete concept of
High Availability, Disaster Recovery & Backup strategies. The
advanced HA possibilities for host and services, Live migration and
performance scalability are just a drop in the sea of possibilities
which just work fantastic in “PowerPoint”. Getting them properly
configured and working in real life is a “slightly” different story. It
takes some real world knowledge and extensive hands-on and
experience to get them sidelined with the business requirements
and expectations, properly planed and implemented.
This leads us to the one thing that we all face every day - the wrong
understanding and perception of the possibilities of the underlying
hardware and software technologies. Building the right
understanding of the HW/SW possibilities is the key to successful
virtualization project.
So, have your service layout planned upfront which will dictate the
required server/service disposition, which will bring you to your HA
requirement plan. Clearly state this plan as a requirement in front
of your HW, Storage, Software, Service vendors, and ask: Can You
do it? Can You guarantee? Most of them will state themselves as
“Virtualization Ready” but are they really? Are there things written
at the bottom of the page with unreadable small font, usually
marked with an asterisk, stating i.e. that you need to buy
proprietary monitoring and management software specially priced
(read “skyhigh”) if used with virtualization ? Can they provide You
with the whole service/server/HA/DR/Backup picture? Have they
ever implemented it?
Our advice: Just like implementing any technology - It’s always
better to consult someone who has already done it, the more the
better. Choosing the right virtualization Partner proves to be the
most important step in any major virtualization project.
Any Questions ?
The Ferrari anologyWhen talking about virtualization the emotions are
like talking about Ferrari – it’s an icon at it least,
everybody has heard about it, everybody wants
one, and suddenly everybody desperately needs
one. You see, possessing a Ferrari is not only
about speed, prestige and high adrenaline – it’s a lifestyle. It’s not
only the money (well for most of us that’s the first obstacle :)) or
image in question but it’s the ability to safely drive it and properly
maintain it. The factory in Maranello has its own sports track where
potential buyers of their TOP models are brought for drive skills
training before they become eligible to buy a Ferrari.
The real question is do you really need a Ferrari or you just need a
better vehicle? – Although it’s an icon, not everybody needs it. If
you’re into car racing, than you really need one and you will get the
most out of it, cover the costs, multiply on the benefits and bless
your choice. But If you only want to have one, just to have it, or
because everybody else wants to have it, and use it just to go to
work with it, with all of its perfection and performance, be ready to
get some serious spending that can be justified only through your
public image.
Now wait a minute, am I just saying that possessing a Ferrari is a
bad thing? NOOO! – actually, it can be one of the best things that
can happen to you. I am just saying that if you’ re not cautious and
aware enough upfront, it can certainly drain your budget, make
your neighbors (your husband/wife included) envy, get you a lot of
speeding tickets and certainly implant few sin-full thoughts in your
head.

Can we prevent WikiLeaktype of information leakagefrom our organizations?
WikiLeaks recent priority has clearly been the publication of hundreds of thousands
of government documents. Since October WikiLeaks has closed its submissions
channel because the site was receiving more documents than it could find resources
to publish. Half of those unpublished submissions relate to the private sector.
According to Julian Assange, founder of WikiLeaks, they had received damaging,
unpublished material from pharmaceutical companies, finance firms, banks and
energy companies, just to name a few industries.
Can these types of information and data leakage be prevented? Let’s analyze one
method used by US Army Private First Class Manning for transferring data to
external parties. He walked out the door with bogus Lady GAG CD-RW filled with
government secrets.
The good news is that there is a straightforward regimen to help stop these kinds of
risks. Symantec in its broad portfolio of security solutions offers several solutions
that can help in preventing these types of data leakages. In this article we will focus
only solutions that would prevent US Army Private First Class Manning from stilling
and transferring those documents outside US Army premises. These solutions are
only small subset of security solutions and technologies that you can implement in
your organization to protect sensitive data leakage.
First WikiLeaks spilled the guts of government. According to Julian Assange, founder of WikiLeaks, now is the turn for the private sector, starting with one major American bank.

Some may find device control too coarse grained and want to only restrict copy operations
based on content. A great way to do this is with Symantec Data Loss Prevention Endpoint
Protect. It also prevents employees from copying confidential data to removable devices,
transferring it over the network, or trying to copy or paste, or print it – but with the added
ability to do so based on content. The advantage is that employees can, for example, copy
pictures of their kids to and from a USB stick, but not anything marked confidential or that
matches the fingerprint of a product design document or that contains confidential customer
information. Endpoint Prevent leverages the Symantec Data Loss Prevention suite for deep
content inspection, so policies on the endpoint can leverage those used for inspection of
email traffic

Encrypt Sensitive DocumentsObviously, preventing those without a need to know is one of the best ways to protect
secrets. The problem, however, is that access control lists on file shares are not vigorously
maintained. That means people who should not see documents can do so. Also there is
problem when laptops that have sensitive data on them are lost or stolen. The answer is to
encrypt those files, so if someone has access to a directory it won’t matter because they
won’t be able to read the file. This is exactly what PGP NetShare and Endpoint
Encryption from Symantec does.
And the user experience really doesn’t change at all. Having a lock on the
file or folder is intuitive and likely sends a warning to those looking to
steal. The file opens as normal for those with access, and is unreadable
by those without.
PGP NetShare also protects against mistakes made by those with
permissions, for example, by copying top secret documents to the
wrong folder. Encryption solves this problem - even if a file is moved
to the wrong place, only those with keys can read it.
PGP NetShare can also encrypt files by file type. This makes it easy
to protect Word docs, Excel spreadsheets and PowerPoint
presentations, but not MP3 files.
We will no doubt be hearing more from WikiLeaks. With such well
understood defenses available, CISOs really have no excuse for not
putting them in place. Perhaps we’ve been putting too much focus on the
criminal syndicates and not enough on the malicious insider.
?
Control how users use devices attachedto their computersDevice control, as its name suggests, controls what devices can be
used on a given computer. So if you want to disallow CD burning by
a government security analyst with access to secret documents,
you can do so. Symantec Endpoint Encryption (SEE) Device
Control allows this to be done by policy, across the organization.
Permissions can be set by group or per individual user. SEE Device
Control could even have allowed Pfc. Manning to listen to Lady
Gaga MP3 files, but prevented him from copying files of any type to
the CD.
Here’s how a security administrator could have done that:
With SEE Device Control, a security administrator can make the
decision that the use of USB sticks by field engineers who need to
download software for clients is okay, but not by customer service
agents with access to lots of personal customer information, who
never take work home. SEE Device Control policy can be set so
prevent any type of Bluetooth or WiFi data transfer, so data cannot
be transferred to mobile phones, or other types of storage devices.
SEE Device Control also offers some capabilities to facilitate audits
and forensics, like creating a log of all files copied or even creating
a “shadow copy” in case you want to see what was actually copied
down to the device. This would allow investigators to quickly and
clearly see the extent of breach perpetrated by an actor like
Manning.

industry in Macedonia grow. Since technology is inescapable and vital, Nextsense and
Exploring Macedonia add value and functionality by integrating effective online
platform and overall IT support at their client’s conference.

MEMBER OF
During the past years Nextsense has significantly
broadened and deepened its understanding of the many
faces of the Corporate and Social Responsibility.
This year we support a very big project that will improve the lives
of people with handicap and dysfunctions.
The Association “Dajte ni krilja” is formed to support the people
with handicap and dysfunctions and provide them better future.
The association has started spreading its worthy cause to all
people in Macedonia, trying to change the view on the people with
handicap and dysfunctions. The aim of the whole project is to
make people aware that people with handicap and dysfunctions
are not different; they can have social life as normal as it can be to
them; they can be equally part of the society; they can work and
contribute to themselves and to the people around them.
Martin Luther King , Jr had once said: "The time is always right to
do what is right."
Nextsense is part
of this project by
providing the
n e c e s s a r y
support to the
Association through
the design of the web page and social network profiles that will
serve as be information pages to all people who are willing to share
helpful information to the association members, give advice to the
people with handicap and dysfunctions; support them and
provide better future for them.
Together with Httpool, the daughter company of Nextsense, we’d
like to make a network of contacts and supporters who can bring
positive energy and help the whole project in providing better lives
to these people. We want to be part of their lives because we
believe that value has a value only if its value is valued.
“I was always
disturbed by the
fact that in
Macedonia the
people with
handicap and
dysfunctions have no chance and
conditions for their optimal functioning,
starting from their early childhood until
the end of their life. This group feels
deprived, ignored and hopeless. They
are a group that not many
people would like
to speak about;
even their
families are
ashamed of
them, not to
speak for the
environment
around them.
Often the
families who
take care of
these people
have not
enough funds
to provide medicine and treatments, and
the country does not have enough trained
people and infrastructure to enrich their
functionality. Implementing the children
with dysfunctions into the schools is very
slow process without special education
programs suitable for them. There are few
employers who are willing and want to
employ people with dysfunctions. Those
who do not have anyone close to them, or
a caring family, end up in institutions not
suitable for their needs, not to speak for
those who end up on streets with little or
no chance to survive because they have no
place to stay nor basic livelihood. The
people with handicap should be put on
pedestal, cared, respected, loved,
accepted and understood. They are here
between us and we should not be afraid of
them nor avoid them. They are our
responsibility, to each of us a bit, and not
just to the state; they are the mirror of our
social responsibility and solidarity. The
sadness, the burden they have is bigger
than the fact that we cannot look at them
and help because it’s difficult for us to
grief over their destiny. We need to give
them a hand, to help them and to give
them wings.
I have always wanted to help people with
handicap. I have sang for them at many
humanitarian concerts, but that is not
enough. We need to change things
together, and the first thing is to give the
love and understanding.
Together with the members of the
association “Dajte ni krilja” where I am
member as well as one of the founders, we
plan to change many things and to provide
better future to the people with handicap
and dysfunctions.“
Rebeka Jankovska Ristovski, President of
the Association “Dajte ni krilja” (Give us
wings)
You are welcomed to join the association
and give us your support.
