Information Security and Collaboration: ICIIP Talks with Dr. Ann Majchrzak
On January 24, ICIIP conducted a half-day event on "Mobile Telecom Security Summit on Vulnerabilities, Threats and Attacks" that examined balancing the promise of new mobile telecom technologies with the security implications they bring. We recently interviewed Ann Majchrzak, a specialist in the design and management of technology change, about her experience chairing the ICIIP Port Security Summit in 2006.
Majchrzak is a specialist in the design and management of technology change. We spoke with Dr. Majchrzak recently about what sorts of research directions the summit has triggered. Majchrzak is a full professor with Marshall School of Business at USC. Her focus, which she has researched since 1980, is the development of change plans that optimize the synergy between computer-based technology, human capabilities, organizational structure, and strategic needs. She is the author of seven books and many research articles.
CTM: How did you connect with ICIIP, the Institute for Critical Infrastructure Information Protection?
Ann Majchrzak: Because of my interest in collaboration, [ICIIP Director] Charlie Meister had approached me several years ago and said, "Department of Homeland Security wants to improve collaboration among security organizations. Are you interested?"
As I started to interview people in the security world -- chief security officers and people concerned with security breaches [including] not just terrorism, but intellectual property security, I was surprised at how much transferred -- how much that I already knew applied in this new context. Collaboration clearly is an important issue in the security community, especially now with respect to agility.
[We might think that] security policies [already] govern how people collaborate. What I've learned is that these policies don't work. When you're in the heat of battle -- meaning that you're involved in a collaboration -- let's say you've gained some information. You're trying to determine who you should share it with, and how you get something in return, so that's in an effective collaboration.
You have the security policies that are in place in the back of your mind, but they don't govern every decision you make about what you're going to share and what you're going to gain.
CTM: When do existing policies on security tend to apply?

ICIIP Presentation Addresses Port Security Issues
The ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach are some of the busiest in the U.S., handling 43 percent of all U.S. container trade. CTM's ICIIP (Institute for Critical Information Infrastructure Protection) spoke with port security expert Noel Cunningham, CEO of The Marsec Group, last week about the challenges of securing the nation's ports. Cunningham, who was director of operations and emergency management for the Port of Los Angeles for 14 years, as well as the port's chief of police, presents "Port Security Summit: Information Sharing" for ICIIP on June 13...more
