THE MAGAZINE

A Site to See

By Peter Piazza

If you’re interested to know just how much information about your organization is out there on the Web, you might want to start by taking a look at the history of the company’s Web site. You may not realize it, but most Web pages have been saved on the Internet Archive Wayback Machine (which has archived 55 billion pages since 1996), divided by year and month, and in some cases by the day. Browsing through this history is like seeing pictures of yourself from the 70’s; everything that at the time seemed cool and trendy now is a bit of an embarrassment. Dig through your own history (Security Management’s Web site is cached back to March 1997) at this month’s Site to See.
