Agencys Digital Security A Business Issue, Not A Technical One

Some independent agencies aren't taking the most fundamental steps to protect their computer systems and the critical information they contain their “digital assets” from hackers and other threats.

In the office, most agency principals look to the most technically savvy person, their agency's technical expert, to secure their computer systems. Technical experts can put your computer systems back in working order, but what they are not directed to do is enforce rules when it comes to your company's digital security, and they shouldn't be doing that. The agency principal should develop and enforce basic procedures and strategies designed to deter anyone from leaking information out of your computer systems and ultimately shutting the systems down.
