ABSTRACT
Corporations have increased their investment in information security because critical business systems have
moved into increasingly hostile territory. As the enterprise has embraced new technologies such as EDI/EFT,
remote access, and sales automation, confidential data has gradually found itself in ever-riskier venues.
Moving to the Internet is the latest-and riskiest-frontier. Nevertheless, forward-looking companies are
willing to face the growing and unpredictable body of risks on the Internet to create competitive advantage.
