Title: Information Security and Critical Infrastructure Resiliency: Results From Field Studies

Abstract: It’s no surprise that some firms are better at managing information risk than other firms. What is a surprise is that firms that should do well don’t. This talk will present field studies of information risk management (IRM) efforts at a hospital, within and across members of the retail grocer food supply network, and other firms. Issues to be discussed in the context of the results include the internal motivation for pursuing IRM efforts, the potential societal impact from doing poorly, and why some firms seem to be better at IRM than others.
