Podcast 53: Kevin Lasser – Security Risks when taking your business global
Doing business in the U.S. has certain risks but taking your business outside of your countries’ borders adds an entirely new set of risks.
Kevin Lasser, The CEO of Encryption Security Solutions (ESS) and Pure Entropy Technologies (PET) shares reasons why you should know how to protect yourself, your company and your intellectual property when going into the global marketplace.
His experience as an entrepreneur and working with both the private and public sectors, including the Michigan Department of Homeland Security provides information to help you protect your business.
Global Risk Management is key to business success and Kevin discusses three concepts that are essential in the security of your information. Including;
1. Confidentiality
2. Integrity
3. Availability and Continuity
This interview is only the tip of the iceberg and is certainly NOT meant for the technologists, rather for the average business person who wants to learn more about Encryption and technologies that are available. I think we will be doing some additional interviews regarding this topic in the coming weeks.

When it comes to the issues of the global politics and the way it is perceived by the masses, a lot of things can be viewed as half-truth or false information wrapped into shiny paper to attract the attention and make people look away from the real problems. Unfortunately, most of us read only the headlines, and don’t pay attention to what is really going on in the places like Africa, Gaza strip or the Balkans. Do we think about what is really done to improve the situation in those places by the organizations that are founded to interfere where it is needed and secure the lives of innocent people? Do we engage in dialogues only when we are the ones being endangered, or do we have a conscience that says that this world is a home to us all, and every nation suffering should be given a helping hand? We should understand that if some conflicts do not effect us directly, indirectly we are all effected as a species that seems to work hard against its own survival. I found some very interesting thoughts on this subject in the book called The Age of Nepotism, you should look it up and read about current affairs in the world from the perspective of Iranian American entrepreneur traveling through the Balkans.
