The information security world uses terms and concepts like ???bits,??? ???packets,??? and
???bandwidth,??? and the legal community uses words like ???jurisdiction,??? ???liability,??? and
???statutory interpretation.??? In the past, these two very different sectors had their own
focus, goals, and procedures that did not collide with one another. But as computers
have become the new tools for doing business and for committing traditional and new
crimes, the two worlds have had to independently approach and interact in a new
space??”now sometimes referred to as cyberlaw.
Today??™s CEOs and management not only need to worry about profit margins, market
analysis, and mergers and acquisitions. Now they need to step into a world of practicing
security due care, understanding and complying with new government privacy and
information security regulations, risking civil and criminal liability for security failures
(including the possibility of being held personally liable for certain security breaches),
and trying to comprehend and address the myriad of ways in which information security
problems can affect their companies. Business managers must develop at least a
passing familiarity with the technical, systemic, and physical elements of information
security.
