In the waning days of August, a massive category 5 hurricane devastated the gulf coast of the United States, particularly devastating the city of New Orleans. In addition to the estimated $50 billion in property damage, clean-up and reconstruction costs, and the hundreds of likely dead, and tens of thousands displaced, the hurricane and its aftermath have disrupted businesses throughout the southern United States. From this disaster, there are a few lessons IT staff, and IT security staff, as well as senior management should learn. The sad thing is that many won't take these lessons to heart.

Although, it could be hard to say it, for the people who lived the suffering: this kind of events teach to the rest of us. And in some sense, it is part of the life to build the rules of safety based on the hardest events. We all win after that, although, the cost means disappeared lifes and hurt economies.
