Computer Security in a Large Enterprise

Computer security is one of the most complex challenges facing large enterprises today. Securing a multinational enterprise is a balancing act based on solid risk management and technical solutions in a multifaceted, changing environment. Managing risks without securing the enterprise is meaningless, but is there a one-size-fits-all solution or special technology to secure the organization? Will this solution or technology be cost-effective? What about the intersection between IT security, physical security, and information security? Ultimately, tackling computer security within a large enterprise is more than a technical problem; it must be based on people, process, and technology in order to properly manage risks associated with threats.
