Aloha and Welcome to Today’s WOW Technology Minute
Network Security is big business and important to us all. The Yankee Group predicts huge growth in the U.S. From 330 million today to 800 million by 2008. The growth is a result of enterprise security breaches and growing concerns for public policy regulations.
For fat contracts, big paychecks, and long kudos’, The The World Organization of Webmasters recommend that web professionals consider complementing their expertise in the following areas:
-Risk management. Get your head around the potential risks including external AND internal threats.
-Public Policy. Understand the ?€œSarbanes Oxley?€ act passed by the U.S. government. This act requires U.S. publicly traded companies to follow rules relating to IT.
-Specifying Solutions . Do not depend on sales people to spec out your security requirements. Ask yourself the questions your boss or client would ask if security is breached.
From Aloha Workshops on the Big Island of Hawaii, this is Brent Norris for The World Organization of Webmasters and The WOW Technology Minute.
