Unfortunately, most business customers don't know how to determine their own security risk. "They just wing it, largely," Vatis said. Companies such as AIG and Chubb offer cyberinsurance, but the industry lacks the actuarial data it has for traditional lines. Large companies can't just redesign products with more deeply embedded security features, because customers don't take well to mandates to completely trash their old systems for new ones. "It would be considerably easier if I were allowed to start from the ground, build a secure system and deploy," said Aucsmith. Until that happens, the data we entrust...
...decided to redesign the first-year introduction to mental health services after peer counseling outreaches “attracted increasingly poor attendance and reviews in the past decade,” Dean of Freshmen Elizabeth Studley Nathans wrote in an e-mail. Instead, the FDO has “attempted to respond to students’ expressed wishes with a broader range of programs and services which are designed at the start of the year to provide crucial information about resources, and then to address group or individual needs as directly and as promptly...

...quick tour around London, and you can lean across his brutalist concrete-slab tables at the DJ bar Social or wander through the jewelry boutiques he recently masterminded for Selfridge's, the once sedentary London department store that has put itself back on the merchandising map with the hip redesign of its sales floors. A few years ago, the store's managers went to him looking for someone to cast a fresh eye on their massive neoclassical flagship store. (Picture the U.S. Treasury Building stuffed with designer boutiques.) Adjaye recalls their meeting with that impish smile of his. "I said...
