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.

CobiT 5 gets the Thumbs Up from CIOs! |
|
|
|
|
The conclusion from our 3 day CobiT 5 workshop was a definite thumbs up for CobiT 5. The CIOs and IT Governance leaders attending this workshop to examine the details of CobiT 5 and compare this to CobiT 4.1 concluded that CobiT 5 is a great step forward. The most significant feature to be identified is the three-tiered IT governance framework.
With a process dedicated to establishing an IT Governance framework and another to establishing a management system for the IT processes, CobiT 5 provides management with the tools they need to implement an IT governance within their organisations.
After three days at the CobiT 5 workshop most participants were very clear that their plan would be to switch to CobiT 5 immediately. It is not expected that the final version of CobiT 5 will be materially different from the current exposure draft. However the new structure of CobiT 5 is a very important change that will provide significant benefits once implemented. |
