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.
