Security is rarely seen as a business enabler - more an irksome and expensive disabler. Mike St John Green will construct the argument to show that it is an enabler, albeit expensive. We need to know how much to spend on security. He will show how to determine, in a systematic manner, the security features that are proportionate, answering the question, how much is good enough? Although Mike will be talking about how government tackles this problem, this issue applies to every business that relies on IT systems. This is really about risk management when applied to the security of IT systems.
