The efforts of HTCIA (of which I am a member) are extremely valuable
in the area of bringing together the resources of LE and the private
sector, they are a critical component in the web of security.

Organizations such as (FBI) InfraGard and the (USSS) Electronic Crimes
Task Force of which I am also proud to be associated with, have been
doing this for some time. It is indeed good to know that the paradigm
of information sharing, security awareness and cooperation is
spreading throughout our community in a way that will help all stay
secure - by breaking down the barriers...

It is only by working together that we will achieve this goal.

With best regards for a safe and prosperous new year,

Good morning Associates,

Thanks for the story...

It's nice to read about how the HTCIA is playing a role in managing
cyber-crime. I am a member and founder of the local New Brunswick
Chapter.

We now have 38 chapters spanning around the globe across Asia/Pacific
Rim, Africa, Europe, South America and North America.

We are doing what no other agency or association has been able to
accomplish before by brining private and public businesses together
with law enforcement. Traditionally businesses have always been leery
of working with law enforcement but we are breaking down the barriers.
Businesses are finding out that's its better for business to build
strong relationships with each other and law enforcement, so that we
might mitigate incidents before they hit the local headlines and cause
financial damage to a businesses reputation. However we still need to
break a few eggs to make an omelette. The perversion of technology and
greed of humans will always be a factor and we need to work hard
together to close that gap.

Best regards for 2004,
Mark E. S. Bernard, CISM,
