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 Elecronic Data Interchange/
Electronic Fund Transfer, remote access, and sales automa-
tion, 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.
