Abstract

This chapter focuses on the understanding and skills needed by tomorrow's business leaders, namely understanding what security teams do and why security is so challenging based on external influences such as cyber espionage, warfare, and crime, which are currently having an adverse impact on the trust that customers have on the Internet and e-Business and e-Commerce. The introduction starts with issues that the business and IT security face in regards to a common language, which has caused issues in the past in understanding how vital security is to international business revenue through a secure and Internet-connected infrastructure and data. Details are then discussed about how cyber espionage and warfare hinder business and have adverse negative consequences through customer mistrust of Internet-based company resources and data storage. Lastly, this chapter looks at how both government and business lack a common connection between the business and IT as well as the vital security function in projects as well as the usage of proactive security teams, understanding the hacking process to secure systems, and the need and proper usage of security awareness campaigns to decrease risk and increase business value of the security function.
