Hello,
My name is Don Turnblade. I work as part of the Risk Management practice of Terra Verde Services. I work both to analyze the business case of Information Security as well as a technical member of Threat and Vulnerability Testing Team. At some point, I became interested in the business that is being protected by Information Security technologies.
To address what I perceive is a huge gap in Information Security practices, I set a group called Business Impact Analysis. In it, we will look at the frequency, risk and impact associated with the technical risks that Information Security intends to protect.
I like to use this Discipline of the CISSP certification to match dollars and cents to good Information Security sense. Note: I am glad to work in any monetary unit of value that helps the genuine return on investment issue to be clear.
I work in the USA. My first Information Security experience was as a Physcist working on Classified Government computers. The cold war is over and I think its time to spend more time building a good future worth living in than merely surviving the present.
