| Information Security has become one the fastest growing areas in the information technology industry.
 This is borne by the fact that previously secure organisations are widening the borders of their environments to conduct business over the Internet. This strategy while encouraging growth in business can and has led to information security incidents where adequate security measures have not been implemented.
Information security breaches cause millions of dollars in lost business revenue, they can cause damage to reputation, lead to share price devaluation and loss in customer confidence and in more sinister cases the loss or corruption of military secrets.
The advent of the Internet has brought about newer and easier ways of altering, modifying and stealing information that hitherto had been difficult for unauthorised personnel to handle.
 Internet related security incidents occur due to organisations implementing business-related functions over the Internet without placing proper security or indeed not being aware of the security risks that accompany conducting business over the Internet.
One must also note that security incidents also occur within organisations and as such many insider security breaches have happened due to lax internal security and /or organisations having the wrong notion that all members of staff are performing their functions in an authorised manner.
The need to deploy effective information security strategies is no longer just a requirement for maintaining competitive advantage. Deploying adequate industry based information security strategies is now a prerequisite to stay in business with other organisations, and in some countries depending on which industry you are in a legal requirement making it a federal offence not to comply with such laws (See our legal compliance page).
