The Evolution of the Information Security Mindset: A Hypothesis of Stages of Individual and Enterprise This paper explores the evolution of individual and enterprise thinking around information security. A theoretical model of how corporations typically develop and mature in their security strategy is postulated with corroboration from some leading security consultants. The premise of this work is if you can gauge your security stage, you can not only manage it better, but could think through and possibly transcend intermediary stages to fast track you to the ultimate stage of being practically secure. The potential benefits of this work arise from minimizing activity that does not take you on the shortest path to the ultimate stage.

This was like a dream come true for me since I had just watched a movie called "Hackers". Yes! The movie where Angelina Jolie still had some innocence left. I was going to be fighting hackers and live a life of suspense.

Will it aid in customers locating products or accessing services in a more convenient, efficient manner. Or is it merely another "toy" that could lead to other technology security issues that, in the long run, will not pan out?

Keeping the Private Intranet Private In today's interconnected world, a company's private network, the intranet, often is not so private as it once was. Inter-company relationships and employee connectivity needs often require other computers to be able to connect to the intranet through an uncontrolled network. How can an administrator of the intranet have a reasonable confidence that these communications lines are not being used for unauthorized access to company data?

Making the HelpDesk a Security Asset The help desk is often quoted as a vulnerable point for social engineering attacks. A social engineer is a con man. He or she is someone who wants to take advantage of a person's helpfulness and use it to advance his strategy. The goal of the strategy is to get enough information to compromise a company's network. So most of the time the final goal of the social engineer is to get a user name and password for general network authentication of a specific network service.
