All,

The biggest challenge is to get the executive management to realize that information security is not jut an IT or Compliance issue, rather that it is a Business Issue and affects the entire enterprise of whatever your business is. I find that most execs feel that it is just an IT issue and fail to realize that it is integral to the continuing functionality and success of the business.

I agree with you Mike, I always think about years ago when we developed
systems "APB", for all the persons, (solid systems), now It4s the new
challenge.. We can do awareness, we can dissuade but we can't change the
criminal behavior. We have to secure the information with technology, strong
procedures and the best policies in function the really risk they
have.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns =

I think the biggest challenge is getting management at all levels to accept that security is a management issue and not purely a technical issue. Companies spend a fortune installing perimeter security in the form of firewalls, IDS, IPS etc and then refuse to allocate even a small budget to development of adequate policies and procedures and to educating staff through security awareness programs. Since nearly 80% of all security beaches are caused by employees, and since the vast majority of tribunals occur as a result of staff misuse of information processing facilities, you would think management would take staff education and policy development more seriously

I am interested in hearing about what many of you consider to be the

top information security management challenges that organizations

face today...  and if possible, a short synopsis of the actions that

you've taken to address them within your own organizations.
