Toward an Improved Business Information Security Posture

Toward an Improved Business Information Security Posture

Information security, Risk management, Business effectiveness, Technological Frames of Reference

Information-age businesses continue to experience data loss. While technical controls provide some security against the illicit activity, a more robust organizationally focused information security method should be understood and applied to losses from computer security incidents. This paper focuses on how information is defined organizationally to understand the information security gaps created by incongruent member perceptions related to information risk among different stakeholder communities. It is argued that member perception incongruity reduction will improve organizational information security effectiveness.
