The worst THEFT EVER
In 2006 I spent a few months with First Consulting group at the Roosevelt and St. Lukes hospitals in Manhattan,  The worst job I ever had.  Now, 11,000 computers, no inventory, porn, malware and virus rampant, no firewalls so it all came back day after day.  Windows NT, 2000 and XP.  Horrible.  A computer in the Roosevelt cafeteria (I used to check tickets) - chained and locked to the wall.    After I left it for 2 hours - cable cut, computer gone,

Pastor's office in St. Luke's - stolen computer.

Locked storage room in  St. Lukes on 6th floor.  30 - THIRTY!!! - computers vanished in one night!!!  We believed it was collusion between security and housekeeping.  And these were HIPAA compliant machines.

On departing employees
The odd thing is that one does not have to be "departing" to take data offsite - any employee, regardless of access levels (although that is a great first line of defense) can take data out anytime on anything.  Now you have to controls for that anything - usb keys, email, etc.  Software does exist that can alert IT and HR to a simple USB key insert.  Email can be monitored.  But, like inventory control, you can achieve 95% protection of data and somebody, somewhere, is always going to consider taking something home.

Everything You Need to Know About DNS Attacks
It's important to understand DNS, potential attacks against it, and the tools and techniques required to defend DNS infrastructure. This report answers all the questions you were afraid to ask. Domain Name Service (DNS) is a critical part of any organization's digital infrastructure, but it's also one of the least understood. DNS is designed to be invisible to business professionals, IT stakeholders, and many security professionals, but DNS's threat surface is large and widely targeted. Attackers are causing a great deal of damage with an array of attacks such as denial of service, DNS cache poisoning, DNS hijackin, DNS tunneling, and DNS dangling. They are using DNS infrastructure to take control of inbound and outbound communications and preventing users from accessing the applications they are looking for. To stop attacks on DNS, security teams need to shore up the organization's security hygiene around DNS infrastructure, implement controls such as DNSSEC, and monitor DNS traffic
