    "I think David Scott is right: Most organizations enjoy “security” largely as a matter of luck. Anyone else here reading “I.T. WARS”? I had to read parts of this book as part of my employee orientation at a new job. The book talks about a whole new culture as being necessary – an eCulture – for a true understanding of security, being that most identity/data breaches are due to simple human errors. It has great chapters on security, as well as risk, content management, project management, acceptable use, various plans and policies, and so on. Just Google “IT WARS” – check out a couple links down and read the interview with the author David Scott. (Full title is “I.T. WARS: Managing the Business-Technology Weave in the New Millennium”)."
    "Good points, Janice. Building a data breach-free organization starts with proper training, adherence to best practices and continually reinforcing a breach-free culture across the enterprise. IT can take the lead -- but everyone should be involved."
