Thank you all for your responses to the question of top challenges
today.
One key theme that I saw across many of the responses was the
challenge of getting senior management to buy in to security. This
makes it especially challenging for security professionals since it
is commonly agreed upon that the 'tone from the top' is a key success
factor in our efforts to protect our respective organizations.
Sadly, this has been an issue for quite some time.
I am interested in any success stories and/or specific things that
have or have not worked in trying to help educate senior management
on the business imperative that security now represents. What kind
of approach did you use and what kind of steps did you take? If you
are buried within the bureaucracy of your organization how did you
escalate security within your company and gain access to your
executive management team? What are some of the lessons learned in
trying to set the 'tone at the top' and driving the incorporation of
security into the culture of the organization? Are you aware of any
articles or best practice guides that are useful in this area?
Please be sure to share your responses with the other members of this
list...
Thank you,
Brad Bemis
