IT securiteers - The human and technical dimension working for the organisation. Current
corporate governance regulations and international standards lead many organisations big and
small to the creation of an information technology (IT) security function in their
organisational chart or to the acquisition of services from the IT security industry. More
often than desired these teams are only useful for companies' executives to tick the
corresponding box in a certification process be it ISO ITIL PCI etc. Many IT security teams
do not provide business value to their company. They fail to really protect the organisation
from the increasing number of threats targeting its information systems. IT Security Management
provides an insight into how to create and grow a team of passionate IT security professionals.
We will call them securiteers. They will add value to the business improving the information
security stance of organisations.
