Introduction
is is the first annual edition of the Information Security Management Handbook since 1994
without the guidance and the insight of Hal Tipton. Hal passed away in March 2012. He will be
missed by a lot of people for a lot of reasons.
It seems that every year is an interesting one for information security, and 2012 was no dif-
ferent. It is interesting, too, how perceptive Kaspersky Labs, for example, was with its forecast. It
also foreshadows the end of online trust and privacy. If you cannot trust digital certificates, what
is left to trust?
