ABSTRACT
Ours is a connected world, and a dependent world. The
condition and livelihood of any organization is dependent
on the integrity, availability, and confidentiality of infor-
mation obtained from or protected from other sources.
Today, organizations are at greater risk and their security
stance against malicious actors, in the form of individuals,
criminal cartels, terrorists, or nation-states, will affect the
well-being of many persons, other companies, and perhaps
the nation. These organizations often depend upon cyber-
space-hundreds of millions of interconnected computers,
servers, routers, switches, and fiber-optic cables that allow
our critical infrastructures to work.[1]
