James,

I love that Ben Franklin quote in your signature. I've heard it before
but I couldn't remember exactly how it went. Thanks!

Subject: [SECURITY] Anyone else doing information security annual
reports?

 

I am looking for information about how context is presented.  Usually I
pull from "Year in review"  types of reports from vendors and other
sources (I usually save them in Jan-March, but this year I got busy and
forgot).  I am still in the process of educating some individuals in
management, that we have an active adversary, not just competitors.  I
don't want to cross over into Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt, but I also
want to caution against putting rose colored glasses on.

 

Any wisdom and/or examples to share would be great.

 

Jim
