Data
Data is the critical link between time and our objectives. To treat it as anything else opens the door to calamity.
The Unites States Navy recently encountered the challenges that go along with data that is stored in a way that can cause mission critical knowledge to be unavailable or simply wrong.
As noted in the above hyperlinked article, the U.S. Navy is learning that data that cannot be secured against the internal threats of data format obsolescence or incompatibility is not secure and poses a significant threat to their ability to conduct military operations.
For this reason an awareness of the type of risk the U.S. Navy is presently managing is the first step in being a successful steward of critical data.
