  11. The Outcome of Security • Availability of corporate assets • Integrity of those assets • Confidentiality of assets that are private • Accountability, making those who access the data responsible for their behavior.

  12. The Value of Security… • Increases staff efficiencies from not having to individually deal with security issues like spam, viruses and rogue email • Increases in systems efficiency created by the security system because of upgraded technology • Eliminates cost of security breaches from unpatched software.
