This paper, titled: “Common Risks Impeding the Adequate Protection of Government Information” sponsored by the the US Department of Homeland Security and the Office of Management and Budget isn’t rocket science and does highlight the concerns that most organisations themselves face.

Nothing new in here and nothing that should not be in place or rather have already been in place as standard. It is a worry to think that in 2007, we’re still talking about security and risk management basics.

You have to wonder how many millions and billions are wasted on security products around the world for little to no benefit to organisations? Actually….we know…..millions and billions.
