They also need to become sufficiently well-versed in the legal and regulatory
requirements to address the competitive pressures and consumer expectations associated
with privacy and security that affect decision making in the information security
area, which is a large and growing area of our economy.
Just as businesspeople must increasingly turn to security professionals for advice in
seeking to protect their company??™s assets, operations, and infrastructure, so too must
they turn to legal professionals for assistance in navigating the changing legal landscape
in the privacy and information security area. Laws and related investigative techniques
are being constantly updated in an effort by legislators, governmental and private
17
information security organizations, and law enforcement professionals to counter each
new and emerging form of attack and technique that the bad guys come up with. Thus,
the security technology developers and other professionals are constantly trying to outsmart
the sophisticated attackers, and vice versa. In this context, the laws provide an
accumulated and constantly evolving set of rules that tries to stay in step with the new
crime types and how they are carried out.
Compounding the challenge for business is the fact that the information security situation
is not static; it is highly fluid and will remain so for the foreseeable future.
