Managing information security in modern commercial environments

Managing information security in modern commercial environments

We began this series of articles with the observation that recent advances in the area of network technology and the success of the Internet have resulted in a new business model. This new model has resulted in a number of new challenges in the area of information security which, although largely understood, are only partially resolved.
