Abstract

Abstract : When it comes to security, organisations have had a lot of growing up to do. Facing up to the volume and complexity of today's cyber-threats requires a level of maturity that is achievable only when you understand not just the world around you but yourself. As Kevin Dowd, chairman of the CNS Group, explains in this interview, organisations have a lot to gain from determining their degree of maturity when it comes to information security, with benefits for everyone from those working at the operational level right up to the board.
