Maintaining Information Security during Downsizing

Today, companies of every size are relying on Internet and other network connections to support their business. For each of those businesses, information and network security have become increasingly important. Yet, achieving a security level that will adequately protect a business is a difficult task because information security is a multifaceted undertaking. A successful information security program is a continuous improvement project involving people, processes, and technology, all working in unison. Companies are especially vulnerable to security breaches when significant changes occur, such as a reduction in workforce. Mischievous individuals and thieves thrive on chaos. Companies need even more diligence in their security effort when executing a reduction in workforce initiative. Security is an essential element of the downsizing effort.
