Cyber Security
In today's world, information is recognized as a valuable asset that requires safeguarding, just as any physical resource would. Information has become the life-blood of many modern organizations, often contributing a greater value to the organization's success than its products or services. These same value equities have increasingly made organizational information a high priority target for adversarial interests, raising the risk of compromise with detrimental impact to the organization.
From boardrooms to the battlefield, protecting information and securely disseminating it to those who need it is often the key difference between success and failure. The very rapid adoption of technology and proliferation of infrastructure connectivity that has improved organization accessibility to its information concurrently increases the potential targets for compromise by an adversary. Additionally, though adversarial exploitation is most often considered, an organization's information is equally at risk to inadvertent disclosure or exposure outside of approved channels. With today's asset capacities, losing an organizational asset (e.g. phone, card) that lacks appropriate safeguards can constitute a massive breach of information.
