I Totally agree with you on this. But it seems that the ongoing trend in those that do not understand the role of security to place it under IT, and more often under a director or a IT manager that does not think security is as important as say Network or domain admin.

The best way is to have them report directly to the CEO and they should handle security related strategy, policy and administration.

We have IT Department with telecoms & network division, Applications development Division, and Business process Division. Initially, the ITSEC team is rattached directly to Director of the IT Department office. But now, some people want the Security Team to be splited as follow in two : - strategy, BCP & policies rattached to IT Director office or the Vice-president office - and security operations (only Firewall admin, VPN implementation and admin) rattached to the telecoms and network Division. Could you advice me on the issue..... some best practices... thank you ____________________________________________________________________________ _ Ne gardez plus qu'une seule adresse mail !
