Managing Risk and Bringing Rigor to Information Security
An InformationWeek Editorial Perspectives TechWebcast

The good news from the 2008 InformationWeek Strategic Security survey shows is that information security is getting the financial attention it deserves. The bad news? Organizations may be no safer for the spending: 66% of respondents say their vulnerability to breaches and malicious code is either the same as last year (53%) or worse (13%). We are lagging behind in implementing encryption to protect customer and employee data, and since when is “no worse than before” an acceptable return on investment?

IT is years behind other disciplines in adopting systematic risk management processes. However, those technology professionals who have made the leap say the change in perspective has made a profound impact. In short, risk management principles bring rigor to information security. The survey shows that many organizations are still looking at security in a tactical manner.

There is value in comparing your security position with peers and seeing what others are doing and what they think works. This web cast presents our findings on organizations thoughts on strategic security, what they view as the most likely threats, and where the problems lie in implementing strategic security.
