Audit and the big picture on information security

Industry has been criticised recently for focusing mainly on IT solutions to ensure information security.  Recent security breaches reported in the media indicate that the problem may be much wider.
The circumstances of reported security breaches show that IT security is not always or wholly to blame. Rather, the common factor is human error. Until organisations view the big picture and embrace data security from the top and throughout, IT security measures will continue to be only one piece in a much bigger jigsaw of possible risk reduction measures.
