"Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of
trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition
inspired, and success achieved". (Helen Keller).

1. Information security is a vital element of corporate and IT governance.
It minimizes risks to valuable information assets and maximizes compliance with
laws, regulations and standards such as ISO 17799, BS 7799, ISO 27000-series,
HIPAA, SOX, data protection & privacy, software copyright and intellectual
property protection, banking industry regulations and many more. Simply put:
"good security is good business".
NoticeBored helps build a genuine security culture through security awareness:
Informing employees about current information security threats Motivating
employees to comply with security controls by promoting commonsense policies,
standards and guidelines, Outlining information security roles and
responsibilities ... and most of all, helping make information security a
HABIT, i.e. "the way things are done around here".

2. Security Matters - How Much Security Is Enough?
- by Julia Allen
CIOs, CSOs, and system administrators may dream about achieving a state of
complete organizational security, but this is unrealistic and financially
imprudent. However, it is feasible to achieve /adequate security /at an
enterprise level in response to
the question, "How much security is enough?"
Achieving adequate security means more than complying with regulations or
implementing commonly accepted best practices. Formulating the concept of
adequate security helps define the benefit and optimized outcome for security
investment. This formulation must occur in the context of identifying and
managing the security risks to an organization's mission and objectives.
