Business Acumen for Security professionals

Have you ever had that experience when you keep thinking of something for a long long time ... maybe months sometimes ... and then something totally unrelated points you into the right direction ?

(Yeah I know I sound like Archimedis and Kekule, but no, I haven't made any discoveries yet).

What I was referring to was an excellent excellent article here http://www.microsoft.com/technet/community/columns/secmvp/sv0507.mspx written by Gideon T. Rasmussen.

A lot is said about the need for Information Security to align with business and for professionals to be sensitive to business needs. Gideon comes up with some practical advice on the "how". Read it first-hand at the site.

Gideon is an experienced Information Security professional, one of the leading members of the CISAforum group on Yahoo and has been recently honoured with the Microsoft MVP award. His personal web-site is at http://www.gideonrasmussen.com/

Happy Reading ...
