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.
