Section I (Chapters 1–4) provides an introduction into the ever-changing world in which today's information systems security officer (ISSO) must work. This section begins with an overview of the past and present world of nation-states, societies, high technology, criminal justice systems, the global marketplace, and the modern business and management environment.
The first section of this book then discusses some of today's threats to information and information systems. This section then culminates in the presentation of the establishment of a fictitious global corporation, the International Widget Corporation (IWC). IWC will be used as the employer of an ISSO who must establish and manage a successful and cost-effective information and information systems assets protections program, as well as manage an InfoSec organization.
