Risk Bloggers - Security Wisdom Ahead of the Curve
December 20, 2006
Security is going through radical changes driven by regulations, hacking innovations, geopolitical forces and convergence, among many other trends. The technology and best practices currently employed by security practitioners are inadequate to the task. Leadership is required on all fronts to move the industry to the position of generating greater value to the business and providing more effective protection against threats.
Risk Bloggers brings together the top minds from a variety of risk-based disciplines, including information security, physical security, risk management, privacy, government and the legal practice to contribute insightful blogs that will act as a strategic change agent to influence the direction of technology, policy and best practices within the industry. Enjoy the site and look for our formal launch in January 2007!
Risk Bloggers is managed by Jim Reavis, managing partner of Reavis Consulting Group, LLC., and the Chief Blogging Officer of Risk Bloggers. The site is operated by Kurt Seifried, Chief Writing Officer.
