IT security professionals charged with securing the information architecture of an e-commerce-driven business face special and daunting challenges. They must fight phishing attempts, identity theft, reputation management and DDoS attacks, and at the same time, the risk of media exposure of the business if they get it wrong.
What is the latest thinking in protecting an e-business from cyber attack? This feature will go behind the headlines to look at the reality of attacks and outline what IT security professionals should do to mitigate threats and deal with attacks if and when they happen.
So I'd like to speak to consultants and analysts as well as IT security professionals, including at least one for a case study, preferably about someone who has successfully defended against non-trivial attacks (DDos, hackers attempting to penetrate networks, bad employees trying to hack from within, etc), to discuss the latest security thinking.
Interview probably to mostly be conducted between 16-24th July. My final, final deadline (before anyone asks) is the 28th July.
