  3. What is IT Security Information security means protecting information and information system from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification or destruction. “In the case of information security, the goals of confidentiality, integrity, and availability (CIA) must be balanced against organizational priorities and the negative consequences of security breaches.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It_security http://proquest.umi.com/pqdweb?index=2&did=901411&SrchMode=1&sid=1&Fmt=3&VInst=PROD&VType=PQD&RQT=309&VName=PQD&TS=1257803955&clientId=45249

Partake in continuing security education Soft skills Management Problem solving Understand of the security threats and risks Dwayne Whitten(2008),”The Chief Information Security Officer”: An analysis of the skills required for success”, Journal of Computer Information Systems, Page 15-18 30

  31. Interviews with Eight Executives The executives were basically in agreement that the skills which emerged from the analysis were important. They suggested the addition of two items: * disaster recovery planning * security breach investigation The interviews were conducted over a two month period between December,2005 and January,2006 CISO: Skills Required for Success Dwayne Whitten(2008),”The Chief Information Security Officer”: An analysis of the skills required for success”, Journal of Computer Information Systems, Page 15-18 31

  35. CISO: Skills Required for Success Conclusion Business strategy was given the high level of importance by the literature and executives, but it was not in the job listing surveys. Many of the organizations searching for new CISOs during the research period didn’t fully understand the importance of including in the business strategy formulation. Organizations currently employing a CISO should consider the duties and responsibilities included in these results as perfunctory in their position requirement. Dwayne Whitten(2008),”The Chief Information Security Officer”: An analysis of the skills required for success”, Journal of Computer Information Systems, Page 15-18 35
