Selling Security to the Organization
Please type a three- to five-page (800 to 1,200 words) paper. Using APA style, assess the importance of developing a comprehensive security policy within the organization. What you need to convey to your CEO is that network attacks are continuing to make the news and organizations have reacted by increasingly spending more of their overall IT budget on security. Business executives are starting to have questions about what they’re receiving for their increased IT security spending. Make the case to justify this spending by describing at least five main sections of an information security policy and the business benefits generated if a company’s employees comply with each section. Use transition words, a thesis statement, an introduction, a body, a conclusion, and a reference page with at least two references. Use double-spaced, 12-point Arial font.
