Security Responsibility

Who is responsible for the security?
The CEO is ultimately responsible for the security. The CEO may delegate the responsibility to a CIO or CISO. The CISO is dependent on the CEO for funding, and support for follow through on security policies.

Bottom up vs Top Down

Top Down:
Top down is where security and buy off is implemented at the CEO level first, then its brought down to the user level.

Bottom Up: This is where a user sees the need, then convinces each level of management to implement the additional security.

Top Down approach is more effective.
