"Information Security is fundamentally a business issue, it presents both challenges and opportunities. Companies must be evermore vigilant to protect their assets and resources, but these efforts can also yield benefits in improved business processes."

William A. Estrem Ph.D.
College of Business
University of St. Thomas

"The Internet started as a very trusting place and many networks were designed with this safe environment in mind.  Today, the Internet is far from safe, and the situation is getting more dangerous by the day.   Now, more than ever it is time to take security off the back burner and give it the attention and resources it requires"

Richard Bonneville

"An alert government with an alert citizenry can work together to be the best deterrence to terrorism."

 Jeff Luther
