Information Security Management Series

Your organization has many assets such as personnel, equipment, facilities, trade secrets, customer databases, engineering specifications, and marketing strategies. In today’s knowledge economy, information is the most valuable asset, a resource you must protect. Thirty years ago there were no networks and computing was done on a mainframe. Five years ago commercial use of the Internet was allowed and the first macro virus was introduced. Today there are millions of systems in existence and more than 500 million users with access to networked systems on all seven continents. Advances in technology will turn the Internet into the “Evernet”, where high-speed networking, truly mobile computing, and numerous embedded systems are deployed to billions of users worldwide. There is no better time to rethink how you manage information security than now.
