Shaky State of Security

After reading the article, we can clearly see the shaky state of security. It is a

fact that many organizations dont look at the security as an integral part, which should and

must be implemented. Size of the security issues go up as these organizations are understaffed

when comes to security concern. Only 22% of the organizations have a security officer and

more than 60% of organizations dont have any security related staff. The other kind of

problems in the organizations where are considerable security staff is the budget allocated for

the security policies. Many security officers feel that they are unable to talk the talk and make

the management agree for providing budget entirely for security department. In few

organizations security staff shares the budget with other network services department which is

like they are surrendered to them.

Organizations think that using some antivirus software of 3rd

party would

solve all the security issues. Only few of them are now realization the importance of having a

compliance management, security policies in order to secure their systems or networks. Yet,

many security officers feel its a long way to before these organizations realize that security is

not only an organizations problem but also every individual should feel responsible and

contribute to the security. Security threats can external or internal, most organizations feel its

the external threats which are more dangerous and need to be handled first. Security pros say

it is not only external but also internal threats which can cause huge damage. Security pros

propose the education of the IT and non-IT staff to know the importance of security.

Cost of Iraq War

Iraq war is one of the few wars in the history of our planet which led to chain

of consequences, destroying millions of lives either in war or financially. America has spentnearly $1 trillion for this ware and stilling continuing. It has created recessions and economies

of many countries are now in downfall. Iraq war is not supported by the public as they dont see

any improvement in their lifestyles. After 9/11 people in US are still scared of terrorist attacks.

Many economists while calculating the costs of this war are trying to estimate the costs of lives

of the army men who sacrificed themselves for the country, which any one would feel pity.

Scarifying for the nation is considered to be great and estimating cost of their life is an insult,

which shows how this war was important. It was important politically not for public. It is a

waste of war; one could have other kinds of defense mechanisms for handling terrorist attacks

but not at the cost of economies of the future world. Entire world is facing recession due to thiswar.
