As company purse strings continue to tighten in a tough economy, can security afford to manage risk and even be a business driver? Art Coviello, President of RSA, gives CSOs some tips.
Having developed Security Awareness programs with the mantra that "security is everyone's responsibility", I especially appreciate the focus of this article on sharing the processes and costs among the enterprise.

This can help reinforce the concept that while InfoSec governance may be handled through a particular group, ownership belongs to everyone.
