Singing for Security

First published: 31st March 2015

Is it possible to encourage better security practices through music? These lyrics, written by Yui Kee Chief Consultant Allan Dyer, to be sung to the tune of "I am the Very Model of a Modern Major General" by Arthur Sullivan, try to highlight some common mistakes:

I am the very model of a modern Office Manager

I am the very model of a modern Office Manager
I control the information and profit most spectacular,
To raise the business profile, engagement is no obstacle
From viral tweet to YouTube channel my likes are astronomical
And when I choose a hashtag all my follows race to retweet it
I understand the trending meme, I honestly do submit
Everything is 2.0, my business is in the clear
My social media presence is trending on the twittersphere

I'm very good at SEO, SMO and KPI
My CTR and CPC your ROI will multiply
Control the information there is profit most spectacular,
I am the very model of a modern Office Manager.

In fact, if I knew how to keep my facebook photos private
And I didn't keep accepting lost fortunes from a tyrant
If I did not keep using password as my password
And memorising passphrases I had mastered
If I knew what phishing, APT and virus were
And didn't keep on clicking on attachments in a blur
In short, if I could keep my information secret, safe, accessible
You'll say this Office Manager is the most professional

So my information security is obviously deficient
But maybe I can learn to be a little more efficient
Control the information there is profit most spectacular,
I am the very model of a modern Office Manager.

The lyrics won the "Better Living Through Technology" section of the individual contest in the Presias 2015 Lyric Writing Contest.
