I was thinking over the December holidays about the most memorable eDocument Sciences events from 2012. We had a lot to be thankful for as we got new customers and some old ones that treated us very well.
Our business of helping companies protect and control their most important information is growing as more organizations realize that their most critical documents are not as well guarded as they would like. Fortunately we have answers for them.
Here are the top 5 in chronological order starting with a big security conference in February.

For those of you who prefer clicking for bargains rather than standing in line and fighting the crowds on Black Friday, this is for you. Thanksgiving is probably a happy memory and a few football games are lingering in your mind, but now it’s time to turn your attention to holiday shopping.
Today is Cyber Monday and I think it’s a little easier on the feet and constitution than Black Friday. I would rather go online and go after all the bargains, rather than waiting in line and fighting all the crazy people out there.
As with anything online, you need to take the good with the bad. There will be a lot of great deals from reputable sites, but watch out for online scams. Online scammers try to game the search engines with “legitimate” bargains. You search for a bargain and the link takes you to a site that looks legitimate. Check to see that it is a legitimate merchant before you buy anything. Some are just sites with malware.

We are more connected to people around the world than ever before. Many of us depend on the Internet in our daily lives, from shopping at home, to paying bills, banking on our mobile devices to sharing information with friends and business partners across the globe. Our growing reliance on technology reminds us that our digital infrastructure is not just a convenience, but a necessity. Can you imagine your life without the Internet?
The most serious economic and security challenges we face are cyber threats. This is not just true in the United States, but everywhere.

Most of us want to save money and the environment. Many organizations are looking at more sustainable ways of doing business and thinking about reducing your printing and paper consumption is a great place to start. Going green is a corporate goal for many organizations and is not only good for the planet, but good for the bottom line. But you can take it too far with potentially dangerous consequences.
If you look next to your printers, you’ll see blank sheets, banner pages, draft and duplicate documents sitting there. There are documents that people forgot to pick up and after awhile they don’t need them. All of them are headed for the trash or recycling bin, so why not reuse them?

This sounds like a line from an old English novel or movie, but refers to a major data breach at the Vatican. The Pope’s butler, Paolo Gabriele, has been arrested by Vatican police on suspicion of stealing confidential documents from the Pope. The scandal has rocked the very secretive world of the Vatican and brought to light numerous intrigues, infighting and general power grabbing. Vatican and Italian police believe the butler is just the tip of the iceberg and that many other people are involved. Theories range from insiders who want to bring down the current pope to positioning for influence when the next pope is elected.
It all sounds like the plot of a suspense novel or the latest Hollywood blockbuster – I bet it will be in time. It could also be a sequel to a Dan Brown novel. Some are dubbing the scandal VatiLeaks and it might be just as big as the release of US State Department cables by WikiLeaks in 2010.
