  • A well-defined information protection posture, balancing protection and connection


  • A set of roles defining typical user activities and access rights


  • Roles organized and defined for any business, operational, financial or risk management criteria

than 60,000 staff members.

E-zones are vital to the company's culture of innovation, increasing flexibility for interpersonal and interorganizational communications with substantially reduced friction to the creative processes essential for new products.

btw...

biggest security worry
That the "bad actors" have now gone covert, and will be (or perhaps already are) using sophisticated exploits to commit crime and information theft...some of them with the advice and assistance of their national intelligence service.

military buff
Downtime includes reading up on history, hand painting military miniatures and playing tabletop war games.

bookshelf

security hero
Benjamin Franklin, for being instrumental in establishing the country's first police force.
