The most memorable security-related event of 2017 was the Equifax breach, in which more than 145 million consumer credit records were compromised and several of the company's senior executives were terminated as a result. This event underscored the value of the security program within an organization's culture. Among the variables that determine how a given organization chooses to structure its information security (InfoSec) program are organizational culture, size, security personnel budget, and security capital budget.

While many IT professionals may think they will have better careers with more rapid advancement or higher salaries in the big IT departments of nationally renowned organizations, they may in fact be better off at a smaller organization. Big organizations have large staffs, full-time and part-time security professionals, and more problems than the typical smaller organization.

 

Your assignment expects you to:

1. Discuss the relationship, if any, between "Infosec Program" and organization's culture, size, Infosec personnel budget and security capital budget.
2. Discuss a real-world example (e.g. case study(s)), as to supports your arguments.
