Security Outsourcing
- Abstract
- The Internet has become an integral means of doing business over the past few years, making information one of the most valuable assets companies possess. As a result, companies are now forced to find ways to secure that asset. There are three ways to accomplish the security of the company's assets. The company can perform all tasks inhouse, hire an outside company or companies to perform all security related tasks, which is outsourcing, or some combination of the two. The primary focus of this paper is outsourcing security services and therefore most of the discussion will reflect that, though some mention of the other two options will be put forth.
