There are many misconceptions in computer and information security that deceive the view on reality. But to make meaningful security decisions, it is important and key to know and truly understand the misconceptions commonly found in computer and information security. In this article, we outline and discuss the misconceptions we think are most common and influential. We divide the misconceptions into three groups, namely social and behavioral misconceptions, technical misconceptions, and false estimations The aim of the article is to prepare the stage and provide a better understanding for all questions and answers related to computer and information security.
Rolf Oppliger and Bruno Wildhaber are Information Security practitioners with many years of academic and practical experience with private and public organizations. All the misconcep-tions in this article have been encountered many times and in different constellations.

Between November 8 and 10, 2011; the IT Governance Conference Africa took place in Sandton; South Africa. Topics included:
- IT Governance Frameworks
- King III
- Information Security Implementation
- International Data Privacy
- Cobit 4 & 5
- Cloud Governance
- Information Management Strategy
- Web Archiving
Hosted at the beautiful Balalaika Hotel, the conference hosts did everything to suit the Governance needs of their participants. Over 100 participants from all over Africa were present and participated actively in the sessions. King III and implementation issues as well as Cobit 5 got a lot of attention.
The conference has shown increased maturity in various aspects of IT Governance. It became obvious that altough developing slowly, the concept of "enterprise govering IT" and not vice versa has finally found its way into practice. We see increased awareness of senior management towards strategic issues such as business IT-alignment, a central message of IT-Governance.
For the first time, two session focusing on Information Management and Web Archiving were presented. These young disciplines are drawing attention becasue of the fact, that "big data" or "data deluge" as we prefer to name it, will be one of the first three top challenges of organizations today and in the near future. Privacy legislation is still under way and it seems that the concepts of privacy are understood better, however, until the concept is being accepted and seen as an important factor in society might take some time. Current discussions in parliament show that the concept of privacy has many different aspects and it will be very difficult to change the behaviour of organization to respect of privacy of their customers in a way that is comparable to Europe.
See you next year in Capetown!

These services are based on a personal relationship and must be tailored to the needs of the individual customer.
