Eddie Zeitler, executive director for (ISC)² commented:

Securing an organization in a world driven by global commerce requires security specialists who can create and implement a program, obtain support from the executive team, and create security awareness among employees – all while complying with legal and regulatory requirements. Hiring first-rate information security staff is critical to mitigating risks that can destroy a company’s reputation, violate privacy, result in the theft or destruction of intellectual property, and even endanger lives.
