IT-security sounds like a subject purely for a
company's IT-department, for the IT-specialists
alone. But IT-security definitely is more than just a
technical toy , its influence on a company s
performance is real. It can be proven that companies
are more likely to loose money if IT-security is
neglected. Companies worldwide are facing financial
loss day by day due to security-gaps in their
IT-infrastructure as demonstrated in several studies
all over the world.
This thesis concentrates on proving that failures in
IT-security indeed raise a company's vulnerability
and the risk of lost income. It has been written for
everybody who does not know much about IT and
IT-security but would like to get some insight into
the subject and its relevance for the company's success.
