A Strategic Approach to Network Defense: Framing the Cloud

Abstract

[...] government and private sector budgets are shrinking, so IT and data security investments need to accomplish more with less. The networks provide the means to share information and make cyberspace, in a broader sense, a global commons for electronic information in the same fashion that the high seas provide the means to share commodities across a commons for maritime trade. It is a fact that experienced technical staff often help translate organizational missions and visions into complex multimedia presentations, using integrated IT capabilities. [...] the loss of these experienced IT staff members may result in a reduction of organizational effectiveness.
