ABSTRACT
It was once said, “Information is king.” In today’s world, this statement has never rung more true. As a result, information is now viewed as an asset; and organizations are willing to invest large sums of money toward its protection. Unfortunately, organizations appear to be overlooking one of the weakest links for protecting their information — the information security management team. The security management team is the one component in our strategy that can ensure our security plan is working properly and takes corrective actions when necessary. In this chapter, we will address the benefits of an information security team, the various roles within the team, job separation, job rotation, and performance metrics for the team, including certifications.
