Question for all ISP Security Groups

["Paul Ryan" <pryan () rogers wave ca>]

Just a high level question for all members of security teams specifically in
the ISP world.
What role does the security group play within the organization - are they
more operationally or more tactically inclined ?

So in the tactical sense - the security group becomes the conscience for the
other operational groups.
The only real operational function in a tactical security environment would
be SIRT.

Any feedback here would be appreciated ...

Paul

Any peer to peer software might do the trick as well as any warez sites.  I
would give you a link myself but do not want to subject my system to the
potential threat.
