EC-Council Encourages CISOs to Adopt a New Risk Management Process to Prevent Information Security Breaches

The damage created by the highly publicized security breaches in 2011 has many Chief Information Security Officers seeking alternative ways to create strategies to manage risk. A new risk management process called Business Wargaming will help the CISO forecast future scenarios and build better proactive and reactive strategies.Albuquerque, NM February 06, 2012

The need for sound strategic information security processes has never been greater. The escalated increase in security breaches in 2011 has raised a red flag to businesses regarding their current IS procedures. Last year a security breach cost Sony over $180 million. Then Sony did not have a CISO in place to lead an effective information security risk strategy.

"You need a CISO today to manage not only the IT risks, however understand and influence the business risks that are imposed on the company by the decisions and strategies it takes.", said John South, CISO at Heartland Payment Systems, in a recent article by BankInfoSecurity.
