Hi Vivek<br />
<br />
For sure. Your last statement is often overlooked by management. What do I need to protect? Either too difficult to define/ID or sometimes they don't want to go down that way because of budget/costs. Physical security normally the "answer". Ask them bout IT, personnel, info sec etc. Often not in place. The IT issue scares me the most. Wonder even if some Co's would know if they are being hacked/attempted hacking, let alone what info the hackers were after.<br />
<br />
Cheers<br />

Yes Glenn,<br />
<br />
Counter Intelligence section was caught napping.<br />
<br />
Similarly the corporates need to have counter intelligence in place.

Cannot agree more. Although sometimes (maybe more often?), we as public don't agree with the politians/government, there is a valid reason to "blanket" certain/sensitie information. Remember during service in the S.A. National Defence Force we had the following (also extract from the Protection of Information Bill):<br />
<br />
Secret = classification given to information that may be used by malicious/opposing/hostile elements to disrupt the objectives and functions of an institution and/or…

Remember during service in the S.A. National Defence Force we had the following (also extract from the Protection of Information Bill):<br />
<br />
Secret = classification given to information that may be used by malicious/opposing/hostile elements to disrupt the objectives and functions of an institution and/or state. Information must be classified as secret when the compromise thereof:<br />
(a) can disrupt the effective execution of information or operational planning and/or plans;<br />
(b) can disrupt the effective functioning of an institution;<br />
(c) can damage operational relations between institutions and diplomatic relations between states;<br />
(d) can endanger a person's life.<br />
<br />
Top Secret = classification given to information that can be used by malicious/opposing/hostile elements to neutralise the objectives and functions of institutions and/or state. Information must be classified top secret when the compromise thereof:<br />
(a) can disrupt the effective execution of information or operational planning and/or plans;<br />
(b) can seriously damage operational relations between institutions;<br />
(c) can lead to the discontinuation of diplomatic relations between states;<br />
and<br />
(d) can result in the declaration of war.<br />
<br />
With regard to the last-mentioned, as you correctly stated "Why give an enemy the bullets to shoot you with?"<br />
<br />
Lets leave the sensitive information within government circles and rather keep to the need-to-know principle.<br />
<br />
