		INFO & KNOWLEGDE

Talking about IT-Security is talking about risk management. On the one hand the evaluation of items which has to be protected and evaluation of harassments, weaknesses and vulnerabilities - the risk analysis. The model of Return on Security Investments (ROSI) has to consider profits and lowered costs in addition, which is compliant to the view of security as "business enabler".

It is difficult for infrastructures and security systems to value the benefit with ROI- especially for Security Infrastructures like a PKI (ROSI). Even with hindsight this is not easy - but empirical studies show a relation of sucess and using certain infrastructure. ROSI computations should show this before the event.

Don't forget compliance when evaluating security solutions, there may be reasons aside from ROI and Risk Management, which oblige using certain solutions. See on cryptoshop.com how security solutions are covering your compliance requirements from laws, other regulatories, or requirements in Cobit or IT-Security Governance.

There is often a trade off between security and convenience. More on Security is bought by a loss of convenience and vice versa. But not always - security solutions may built comfortable for the user.

Building Security is needing acceptance for security measures - at best with a security awareness program. Certain solutions i.e. using smart cards are awareness building itself. Smart Cards are recognized as security tool respectively associated with security. This side-effect is reducing effort for awareness building.
