Information security align with business needs

Just found a good article on the SC Magazine website about "Game on: Case study with Electronic Arts and Allgress" which discusses challenges around protecting EA network. However there is a quote in the article.

"In today's world, security executives need to be able to align their investments with business goals and be able to show that there is some sort of return – be it risk reduction, business enablement and or financial savings," says Borrero, who previously led security and risk management strategy at Pacific Gas and Electric and served a CISO role at Robert Half International, a global staffing firm.

This quote highlights one of the points I try and get across on security training about information security needs to be aligned with the needs of the business and it must be an enabler not a disabler of the business meeting its mission. It will be a quote I will be point to when I run my next training courses on the CISSP.
