Risk assessment is vital to security
IT security experts at last week's InfoSecurity 2003 conference in London,
England, emphasized that conducting a risk assessment of information
systems is a key step in 'selling' necessary security investments to
sometimes "digitally challenged" executives. In order to persuade senior
management to commit to security spending, IT security executives should
determine what needs to be protected in advance, explain security issues
and risks in non-technical terms, and show the potential commercial
benefits of moving forward with security investments. In order to remain
credible, they should also "Use the fear factor selectively and objectively
but don't cry wolf because the electronic Pearl Harbour is unlikely to
happen until 2005 or 2006," according to David Lacey, head of information
security and governance at the Royal Mail Group.
