ABSTRACT

You must have good information security. A large security breach can cost millions of dollars. A security breach involving the theft of IP can cost billions and even be a risk to national security. Active monitoring of your most valuable information is good information security. Periodic auditing of your access controls is a must. žere are too many cases of unauthorized access by people who have been let go from the organization, and these are only the ones that have been published. A data loss prevention strategy is a must. Information protection is now a boardroom consideration as we continue to connect systems together on the Internet. If your board members are not involved in decisions about information protection, then you need to inform them of the issues and how you plan on mitigating these issues.
