Business Continuity: Battling Complacency


In the areas of risk management and business continuity, security professionals have advanced significantly since Sept. 11, 2001. But there’s still an issue of complacency that needs to be addressed, says Rolf von Roessing, past international vice president of ISACA.

In the decade since the 9/11 terrorist attacks, security leaders have learned to think the unthinkable, von Roessing says. “It was a wake-up call for all of us to basically accept the reality of terrorism, accept the reality of having to do more for security, accept the reality of having more forward intelligence and generally having to be much more diligent than before,” he says in an interview with BankInfoSecurity.com’s Tom Field.
