INTRODUCTION
The information revolution has transformed businesses, governments, and people in profound ways. Virtually all business and government operations are now digital, resulting in everyones personal details stored in information systems.
Two issues have arisen out of this transformation: the challenge to safeguard personal information from criminal organizations, and the challenge to ensure that personal information is used only for clearly stated purposes. Difficulties in meeting these challenges have helped create and emphasize the importance of the cybersecurity and information privacy professions. Numerous security and privacy laws, regulations, and standards have been enacted and created, imposing a patchwork of new requirements on organizations and governments to enact specific practices to protect and control the use of our personal information.
