Part of how we, at Smart Thinking, help clients towards secure compliant systems is that we understand that this can only be achieved if everyone from the top down in an organisation understands how their parts in the jigsaw of cybersecurity works.
This excerpt, from a longer article by Roger Grimes, that Bruce Schneier has on his site illustrates why our approach works so well.
