Information Security - An Effective Plan is Essential to your Company's Future
Information Security Issues
have become one of the highest priorities of the Bush administration.
In September the White House rolled
out a national strategy for information security. Some of the
measures provide best practices for companies which are to
be complied with
on a voluntary basis. No company, large or small can afford
not to have an "InfoSec" policy in place and adhered
to. For those companies which fail to do so it is only a
matter of time
before they wish they had. It is a fact that Security breaches,
both internal and external, are largely preventable
The below articles are the first and second of a three part series dealing
with "InfoSec". The second installment of this series, published below,
focuses on mistakes that lead to ineffective information security policy management:
enforcement and audit is discussed.
Joseph A. Gendron is the President and CEO of Surrex Solutions
Corporation. He has been active in the Information Technology
consulting and staffing
industry for 20 years and is considered a leading knowledge source
in the field.

The Boston Globe - By Chris Gaither, Globe Staff, 3/10/2003
The Big Picture - Silicon Graphics, tapping into a growing US government tech budget, is using satellite images to make a 3-D map of Iraq.
The possibility of a US-led war against Iraq has also changed the landscape for many Silicon Valley companies. With the downturn in spending on high-tech goods, especially by large corporations, some Silicon Valley firms have been courting the federal government, which is growing its information technology budget by 9 percent a year, said Howard Stern, a senior vice president with Federal Sources Inc., a McLean, Va.-based market research and consulting firm that focuses on the public sector information technology market. The government plans to spend $58.1 billion on computers, software, and services this fiscal year, a 17 percent increase from 2002, but Stern said that high-tech companies selling products for more run-of-the-mill defense projects may lose some of their footing if war breaks out.
''The federal IT market is, without a doubt, the bright spot in the domestic economy,'' Stern said. ''The good news is that there will be an increase in spending related to the possible war. The bad news is that some of that increase is going to come from robbing Peter to pay Paul -- taking from existing, ongoing programs.''
Stuck in one of its deepest-ever recession, Silicon Valley can use the help. Many high-tech leaders decline to comment when asked about the potential impact of war on their businesses, but executives from Apple Computer Inc., J.D. Edwards & Co., and other companies have said that already cautious customers seem paralyzed during the military buildup.
