ISA Presents Melissa Hathaway With Award
From The Internet Security Alliance
The Internet Security Alliance presented Melissa Hathaway with its annual award for vision in cyber security Tuesday during an event at the National Press Club. Hathaway, the Obama Administration’s former acting cyber security chief, received the McCurdy Award on the one-year anniversary of when she began her 60-day review of the government’s cyber security program. ISA believes that Hathaway’s work, if implemented, would result in the establishment of a modern partnership between the public and private sectors, which is necessary for an effective and sustainable system of cyber security.

Typically, the economics of cyber security are not readily transparent and they are poorly appreciated. When defensive investment is compromised by factors beyond an organization’s control, the motivation for continued investment is reduced substantially. Effective and sustainable improvements in our collective cyber security posture will stem from a comprehensive understanding of how to effectively motivate all players across our economic landscape to actively engage in proven best-practices in both their business and individual cyber activities.
ISAlliance: Cyber Security is Economic Issue
By Anthony M. Freed, Information-Security-Resources.com Managing Editor
“First, the President is correct in his appreciation of the need to view cyber security as not just a technical and security issue, but as an economic one as well. In the 21st century - the digital century - economics and security are opposite sides of the same coin. You cannot affect one without impacting the other.” ~ Congressional Testimony
