The list then:

1. BRM is now RM – to manage all relations with stakeholders, not just with the customers
2. IT Asset Management is now separated from Configuration Management (likewise, Release Management is also separated from Deployment Management)
3. Change Management is now Change Control (beneath it stays the same)
4. Organizational Change Management (OCM) is now a practice (more vivid since ITIL practitioner)
5. CSI Register is now Continual Improvement Register (CIR)
6. Service lifecycle is gone. Look at Service Value System and Service Value chain activities instead. The service value chain activities are always present in the practices (it’s clear how practices contribute value unlike before with processes for the service lifecycle)
7. Four dimensions (not unlike COBIT previous enablers, draw from the People, Process, and Products, and from Service Design’s 5 aspects) are always considered for complete service management
8. Guiding principles (reviewed from ITIL practitioner) give explicit guidance (you can check short cartoons on these on previous posts)
9. Processes and functions are now practices. Grouped in general, service management, and technical management. 34 practices. Getting closer to COBIT here too (each practice has activities too)
10. Incident and Known Error definitions are simpler, non-ambiguous (yes!)

The cyber suffix is more and more a reality and needs to enter our lexicon fast. Otherwise, we will soon be swept over by a world under a not so bright new order.

Beyond the obvious fears and calls to action, I captured these, starting from the one I think we all can do something about it:

• Education – Surprise! Everyone, and especially the youth, as to step up on their awareness for the cultural and democracy shift brought by the post-Internet world. I place my bet here for informed people are wiser. Here’s one free online introductory course. Cybersecurity education resources can be found too.
• Regulation – A need for a net of cooperation institutions from all sectors to bring order to the new wild west. Or face being ruled by big corporations as nations sovereignty keep declining. There’s hope from the UK. Also,  an informative report from ENISA.
• Artificial Intelligence – Like other disrupting technologies, it did not bother knocking first before entering our lives. Really fast. It is already being used for cyberattacks.

Use an easy way to recall your passwords. Use motivational passphrases.Memorable phrases are easy.  Like from a song or a poem. The trick is to convert those phrases made up of  letters in something harder for brute force and dictionary attacks.

Substitute at least two characters for non-digits (with only one substitution it will be a piece of cake cracking it). Digits are bad; not many to pick from. To bad we only have ten fingers in our hands.

I suggested you also use those paraphrases to keep being remembered on something good you want to achieve, do or be.  Like walking around your dog more frequently. Or be always a good listener. Or something more specific.

That way you’ll know it is feasible and achievable. It will get done.

Up to you coming up with something unique about you get hard to find out by scrapping social media.Just don’t use: IW1llw@lkBobby.

Tell me. What do you think about this:

Is it better non direct reference to your dog, or act, or loved one? There has to be some opinion or feeling you can relate to.
