Abstract

Many organisations have overlooked their security strategies by entering the increasingly inter-connected world of electronic environments. These organisations often still rely on the traditional strategies of security. With increasing information warfare risks, organisations need to reconsider their security strategy within a multilayered framework that integrates all points of interconnectedness and reflects the rapid changes in technology. In this paper we take the stand that organisation’s e-security strategy should be a continuous, comprehensive process of adding, removing, and managing layers of actions based upon balanced risk management. A merit of in-depth defence strategies is that they begin from inside the organisation and extend outward creating defensive webs to withstand information attack.
