>>Extraordinary changes in the way we do business and lead our lives in the 
>>ever-connected world of the future will create tremendous security 
>>challenges. These challenges will be shaped by many of today's emerging 
>>trends: the rapid acceleration of network speed, connectivity and the 
>>overall number of devices; the removal of the human element from many 
>>everyday transactions; and easier and cheaper collection of public and 
>>private information. More than ever before, we will demand security 
>>solutions that enable businesses to thrive and private information to be 
>>protected.

>>Accenture has just released the Security Call to Action and executive 
>>summary, from the 15 security experts who participated in the CERIAS 
>>Security Vision Roundtable. This two-day event, jointly sponsored by 
>>Accenture and the Purdue University CERIAS (Center for Education and 
>>Research in Information Assurance and Security), brought together both 
>>industry pioneers as well as information security leaders experts at some 
>>of the largest and most influential companies in the world. The report 
>>includes a Call to Action and a list of the key trends affecting security 
>>over the next decade. The bottom-line is that doing security right 
>>requires the greater community of business leaders, technologists, 
>>educators and political leaders to look seriously at this Call to Action 
>>and to commit resources and energy to help lead us all to a more secure world.

>>Accenture is the new name for Andersen Consulting as of January 1, 2001.
