Security is Golden
My son used the word "beast" in a strange context a few weeks ago. When I asked, he said it meant
"awesome". Later in the day I wondered, what is beast about security? In a business context, security
protects assets, keeps secrets confidential and helps ensure availability of products and services.
Business managers consider the expenses associated with security programs. That cost must be
commensurate with risk to business objectives.
In the end, companies are in the business of making money. Security managers must prove their programs
and controls are necessary and cost efficient. With that in mind, I established a blog dedicated to
validating Security Return on Investment (SROI):
http://www.securityisgolden.com
Typical posts contain security metrics, with references to reports, surveys and studies. To a lesser
extent, I also post references to threat and compromise trends, large data compromises and information
security resources.
You can subscribe by e-mail or RSS
feed. I hope you find this resource of use.
Kind regards,
Gideon
