Abstract

As children we probably all often listened to the fable of the king who rode nakedly through the street thinking he wore a beautiful new coat created for him by his (rogue) tailor. Nobody wanted to tell him that he was naked, because they all feared him - until a small boy revealed the truth. This paper asks whether the IT industry is not in the same position - Information Security wise totally naked - although everyone tells everyone else how secure our IT systems are.
