The Other Side of Information Security

Presented at DEF CON 10 (2002), Aug. 3, 2002, noon (50 minutes)

Until now, the focus of Information Security within organisations was mainly technical. Organisations are becoming more and more aware of the fact that this technical side - although very important - is just one part of the total security solution. Currently, organisations are increasingly changing their focus to the organisational side of Information Security. In order to control the organisational issues of Information Security, an organisational oriented approach is needed. Such an approach will be the subject of this talk and will give the audience an overview, ideas, references, hints & tips of this organisational side. Items to be discussed are: Risk Management Security Policies & Procedures Security Standards Security Awareness Security Auditing & Monitoring Where Organisational meets Technical
