Can someone explain to me why information security management is becoming such a big issue these days?
I understand the necessity of protecting corporate electronic data from unauthorized access, but is that so difficult?
(1) build a safe network
(2) update software often

If so, why are companies spending millions of dollars on security products and on security experts?
well there are a lot of different levels of safety.
Passwords can be broken, sites can be found, and hackers can get into many sites
