Abstract

'The Adventures of an IT Leader' invites readers to 'walk in the shoes' of Jim Barton, the new CIO of the fictional IVK Corporation, as he spends a difficult year learning effective information technology leadership, sidestepping the pitfalls that make the CIO job the most volatile, high-turnover job in the business. After three months of steady improvements in IT and the company at large, disaster strikes. This chapter joins Barton as he and his team troubleshoot a systems security breach. This chapter is excerpted from 'The Adventures of an IT Leader'.
