Effective Security Enables Powerful decisions

Effective Security enables Powerful decisions.

Information is NOT Power. Timely access to accurate information can give the holder the ability to make powerful decisions.

Effective Information Technology can enable the required flow of information. Inappropriate Information Security Policies, Processes, application of controls and lack of awareness can stifle Effective Information Technology. Effective Security is the corollary of this position as it's proactive and encompasses every aspect of information flow throughout an organization together with customer’s partners and suppliers.

Avoiding risk is not an option for today’s users of technology. Measuring risk and mitigating threats to a point that you are comfortable with leads to Effective Security. Everyone (and every business) has a different perception and appetite for risk. Many use risk taking as a fundamental competitive advantage.

Effective Security can facilitate Effective Information Technology thereby enabling businesses and individuals to realize their potential - doing more with less risk.
