From the Paper:

"Data and information security, both in the private and public sector, has launched information and technology (IT) to the forefront of business operations across all industries. Where IT previously fulfilled a quiet but vital support role in most organizations, it now occupies a seat in corporate boardrooms where core strategies are formulated. IT solutions to data and personal information security are front and center in numerous state and federal laws and regulations passed recently such as SP 1386 in California, the HIPAA provisions, as well as related issues contained in Sarbanes-Oxley legislation targeting public corporation oversight and regulation. Determining the appropriate and most effective IT solution to data integrity and protection is a driving concern across most industries today and fully understanding the issues involved is requisite to risk mitigation and compliance."
