Information Security - An Effective Plan is Essential to your Company's Future

Information Security Issues have become one of the highest priorities of the Bush administration. In September the White House rolled out a national strategy for information security. Some of the measures provide best practices for companies which are to be complied with on a voluntary basis. No company, large or small can afford not to have an "InfoSec" policy in place and adhered to. For those companies which fail to do so it is only a matter of time before they wish they had. It is a fact that Security breaches, both internal and external, are largely preventable

The Boston Globe - By Chris Gaither, Globe Staff, 3/10/2003

The Big Picture - Silicon Graphics, tapping into a growing US government tech budget, is using satellite images to make a 3-D map of Iraq.

The possibility of a US-led war against Iraq has also changed the landscape for many Silicon Valley companies. With the downturn in spending on high-tech goods, especially by large corporations, some Silicon Valley firms have been courting the federal government, which is growing its information technology budget by 9 percent a year, said Howard Stern, a senior vice president with Federal Sources Inc., a McLean, Va.-based market research and consulting firm that focuses on the public sector information technology market. The government plans to spend $58.1 billion on computers, software, and services this fiscal year, a 17 percent increase from 2002, but Stern said that high-tech companies selling products for more run-of-the-mill defense projects may lose some of their footing if war breaks out.

''The federal IT market is, without a doubt, the bright spot in the domestic economy,'' Stern said. ''The good news is that there will be an increase in spending related to the possible war. The bad news is that some of that increase is going to come from robbing Peter to pay Paul -- taking from existing, ongoing programs.''

Stuck in one of its deepest-ever recession, Silicon Valley can use the help. Many high-tech leaders decline to comment when asked about the potential impact of war on their businesses, but executives from Apple Computer Inc., J.D. Edwards & Co., and other companies have said that already cautious customers seem paralyzed during the military buildup.
