ISM-Community Releases Top Ten for IT Security Management
Worldwide community of information security managers cuts through the FUD to offer the fundamentals

Washington, DC June 28th, 2007 — The Non-Profit Information Security Management Community (http: //www.ism-community.org/) today announced its ISM-Community Top Ten list, an awareness document that describes a series of key issues that effect today’s information security managers.

Taking a refreshing break from the typical fear, uncertainty, and doubt that information security managers are deluged with on a daily basis, the ISM-Community presents a simple, easily-understood, pragmatic approach towards managing information security.

"The ISM Community Top 10 will provide security management and professionals with guiding principles to build a solid program within any organization. It also serves as a great reminder to managers of existing programs to focus on the fundamentals." --Ed Bellis, CISO Orbitz Worldwid, ISM-Community Top Ten Contributor
