How Passionate Employees Can Benefit
from The Stretwise Security Zone

OK, maybe you shouldn't call your manager "clueless", but it is often hard to convince your superiors that security is a problem. You can't prove the organization is exposed to too much risk, because it's hard to quantify. But there are ways to help management realize your concerns, and to provide appropriate bottom-up communication about your challenges.

If you think risk is a problem, we can connect you with other employees and even managers who can suggest positive ways to address the issue. It's our hope that we can provide you with enough interesting materials to at least get your manager to visit this site. Then, we have a chance to show them how easy and inexpensive it can be to improve your information security.

The Streetwise Security Zone is like having an Information Security expert on-call, but one who can:

• Speak the language of business instead of techno-babble;
• Keep you up to date on the latest security news that affects your industry
• Explain what other companies are doing to address information risks that threaten your business
• Actually help you organize and deliver security initiatives that fit within your budgets.

You can show your boss you care

We're not going to go as far as saying you'll get promoted if you join The Streetwise Security Zone. But there's a good chance you will be able to take a leadership role in your organization, when it comes to protecting the bottom line. This is always appreciated by managers.

By learning how to access the latest security news in a business context, you can become the "go-to" person within your work environment. Just remember, though, this doesn't give you permission to act like a "Street Thug", dispensing unsolicited security advice everywhere you go!
