What are the principle factors to consider when establishing an information security policy or conducting an information security policy appraisal that maximizes the efficiency of financial resources?
- Is it realistic to expect that terrorist threats to nations would diminish in the immediate future? Do you believe the U.S. is overreacting or over-prioritizing the fight against terrorism? Why?
- Will limited resources in many cases cause a redirection of funds from fighting drugs to fighting terrorism?
