The continued growth of organized cybercrime, the deep alignment of business and IT, the rapid adoption of social networking tools and cloud-based services, and the blurring boundary between personal and work life, all make cyber security harder to understand yet of vital importance. The speed at which computer technology has advanced has brought with it tremendous opportunities as well as potentially catastrophic risks. How vulnerable are we and how can we manage the security risks associated with our computer age?
