Selling security to top management
Dario Valentino Forte · Network Security · 2008
The most complex and important relationship in the cyber world is that between a company's top management and security management. Until recently, security was viewed mainly as a question of image, something completely unrelated to real business. When business needs and security needs were brought into the same conversation, it was usually in a conflictual manner. However, the last ten years have seen an increasing number of security incidents and the enactment of more and more laws and regulations to address the issue. This has inevitably led to a gradually deepening awareness on the part of both private and public organisations that effective security measures are a fundamental requisite for business integrity and for compliance with the law.
