Abstract

Security programs that are "democratic" or "equal" when dealing with different business units, especially in a decentralized organization are bound to fail. Security, just like other forms of risk, should be applied in a way that maximizes the effectiveness of the program. In this session, we'll discuss some of the decision-making process around formulating a security program for such a decentralized organization and the lessons learned through that process.
