Subject: Could InfoSec be Worse than Death?

Paul,

Thanks for your comments.

I believe the purpose of the paper is to move away from the loss avoidance
model and describe information security in fashion that demonstrates how
security mechanisms have a direct role to play in the creation of assets
and business relationships.

Ken
