✦ Synopsis

Over the last few years, computing has changed to an almost purely networked environment, but the technical aspects of information protection have not kept up. As a result, the success of information security programmes has increasingly become a function of our ability to make prudent management decisions about organizational activities. This series of articles takes a management view of protection and seeks to reconcile the need for security with the limitations of technology.
