New Course Well-Timed for Agilent Audience

Today I wannabe in control of my personal information.

On March 22nd news broke that a Fidelity employee attending an off-site meeting had their laptop pinched. This became national news when it was reported that this laptop contained sensitive and personal information for 196,000 individuals that participated in HP retirement plans...including many current Agilent employees who came from HP when the company split.

Ironically, on this very same day, our weekly "InfoSpark" newsletter announced a new self paced data privacy course being made available to all Agilent employees: Data Privacy: Protecting Personal Information. This course developed by one of our most intrepid LCMS early adopters, William Ewy, outlines how Agilent protects employee, customer and supplier information as well as what everyone needs to consider while handling this data in the work environment.

Excerpted from the InfoSpark announcement:

“In these days of expanding technology and pervasive use of the Internet, privacy is an important area for everyone,” said Jim Allen, Agilent’s chief privacy officer. “Individuals are concerned about it, and this course will help them learn how to take control of their own personal information.”

Amen.

Congratulations William on delivering a very informative and timely course. At last count, over 170 learners have already registered for it...I happen to be one of them.
