Why Information Security is More Than a Technology Issue

AUGSUST 10, 2009---Interhack Founder C. Matthew Curtin addresses IT leaders from Central Ohio and beyond at the CIO Solutions Gallery Security Summit: Challenges To Our Future State Of Readiness. Based on original Interhack data breach research, Using Science to Combat Data Loss: Analyzing Breaches by Type and Industry, Curtin outlines a pragmatic approach to building an information security program that works today.

In Using Science to Combat Data Loss, Interhack proposes a taxonomy for classifying data loss incidents with public information. Led by Curtin, Interhack has examined publicized data breaches by type and industry and found significant results for Finance, Education, Public Administration, and Health Care.  The study is published in Volume 4, Issue 3 (Winter 2008–09) of I/S: A Journal of Law and Policy for the Information Society.

The CIO Solutions Gallery is an internationally acclaimed Executive Education open enrollment program offered through the Ohio State University Fisher College of Business in Columbus, Ohio. Attendance is by invitation only.
