Hi Andrew,

I seriously doubt the solution is to hire "better" staff.

No company is immune to disgruntled employees, and I for one would like my organization's data made less susceptible to malicious intent.

Furthermore, I don't like the idea of every functional group having access to all the data in the system. Can you provide 100% assurance that data captured from the file system cannot be reverse engineered, and confidential information be gleaned by and resealed to unintended parties?

One commenter posted here that in 20 years, he has never seen this type of occurrence. I can also remember a time when we didn't need firewalls, we didn't need to shred personal documents before disposing of them, and when we didn't need to secure our personal computer.

As my organisation grows, and the number of users on the accounting system increases, I have to feel confident that the software package I select, has built in the greatest effort possible to protect the security and integrity of the data it commands.

Rather than flippant comments, I'd like to see us constructively discuss ways forward and a software evolution that addresses ever increasing security needs.

For now the terminal emulation work-around may have to do, but as someone also pointed out, it is not without its own shortcomings.
