Crying for the Moon? - Current Challenges in Corporate Information Security Management

Ulrike Hugl

2013

Abstract

The ability to respond to the evolving challenges in corporate information security management is not a destination but rather a journey. To contest the race means to accept the dare, but being aware of the fact that offenders are normally one step ahead. Understanding threats and attackers’ methods and strategies is a crucial issue towards protecting corporate assets. This work aims on presenting an overview of current information security-related trends, it explains possible internal and external motivated offenders and reveals related organisational weak spots. Moreover, it highlights some starting points for organisational prevention measures.
