The document discusses security issues faced by organizations today. It notes that the security landscape is constantly changing with new technologies, operating systems, ubiquitous computing, and interconnectivity. Threats are also changing, with hacking now focused on profit rather than learning. Hackers trade vulnerabilities, accounts, servers, and identities on the black market. Organizations face regulatory compliance, increased attacks and threats, demands for security ROI, risks to brand and privacy, and challenges from new business models. Typical security functions in organizations are segregated without information sharing, but risk management approaches are helping with a single view of risk and the IT landscape through tools like dashboards and security information management systems.
