Discussions at the recent World Economic Conference in Davos Switzerland focussed heavily on the need for coordinated responses to the worlds major issues, such as the climate, security and nutrition. There was much discussion about the idea of collaborative innovation as a reasonable response to these issues. Indeed, collaborative innovation has been experiencing a rise in use for the past few years, through collaborative commerce, as so named by the Gartner Group, or through the Wiki-World of Don Tapscott. Companies are tapping into the potential of collaborative innovation as means to work towards their own prosperity and survival, by involving customers, suppliers and even competitors. Collaborative innovation has major implications for systems security and for IS Assurance. In order for collaboration to work well, the collaborators must be tied together through their systems. We have been seeing this and will see much more of it in the future. The ISO has been setting some standards that are relevant. The IS Assurance world needs to be involved as well. ISO - News
