Image

Many factors drive today’s need for information systems security, including the increasing trend to distribute systems, the use of public networks (particularly the Internet) as part of system infrastructure, the rising interest in interorganizational computing (such as that envisaged by Web services), and other less technical reasons such as the increasing interest the media and the public have shown in computer security. All of these factors point to the fact that today your system’s stakeholders are likely to be more interested in the security of the system than they would have been only a couple of years ago.
