Information Superiority – Helping your Company Make Superior Use of Information

Extracted from: LegalTech

 

On February 12, 2013, President Obama issued an Executive Order focused on improving cybersecurity by improving information sharing and thus creating a framework to reduce cyber risk. As the threats continue to grow, and the chances of governmental action increase what steps companies can take to get ahead of the cybersecurity framework, and also reduce their cybersecurity risk? In these times of doing more with less, using Information Superiority to focus security efforts offers many companies a path forward to address cyber concerns.

Information Superiority is a Department of Defense doctrine that is defines as "A relative state achieved when a competitive advantage is derived from the ability to exploit an "Information Advantage". This doctrine can help companies facilitate executive decision-making by getting the right information, to the right executives, at the right time, which will help companies increase revenues, reduce costs, optimize risk, mitigate brand damage, and reduce cyber and industrial espionage risk.
