  • If you’re in financial IT, you’re going to be very busy soon.
  • The Dodd-Frank Act – financial reform – is expected to impact every section of the business.
  • Observers say they’ll need new technology and upgrades so they can comply with the law.
  • And some business models are going to change – like in trading and derivatives.
  • Remember how much fun Sarbanes-Oxley was? I bet this is better.
  • When you’re networking – with people – here’s a caution.
  • Beware of social engineering.
  • This is a fancy way of saying be careful about spilling company secrets.
