Convergence Is Bad for Business

Too many cooks in the information assurance kitchen spoil the information security and privacy compliance broth. It is more efficient to assign responsibilities to just one area, then let them get on with it!

Convergence Is Better for Business

If separate areas throughout the enterprise work together to address information security and privacy issues, the efforts are more successful and the resulting efficiencies save time, money, and headaches.

"The growing number of security and privacy incidents -- accompanied by an increasing number of fines, penalties, and civil actions -- emphasize the need for the information security and privacy areas to work together for effective management enterprise-wide."
