Abstract
While information security is a challenge encountered by practically every organization today, funding to develop new mechanisms to enhance it is not centralized and each institution has to fend for itself. The main problem in the Western world is that the information infrastructure is privately owned, and the governments cannot make decrees about information security enhancements without paying vast sums to the private sector to implement and maintain such enhancements. Thus, it is not surprising that organizations with R&D charters on infosec issues, listed subsequently, carry out their mission from a parochial perspective.
