Abstract: The contemporary environment within which command,control,communications,computers and intelligence (C4I platforms exist, have a number of characteristics. These characteristics may be most obviously identified as interconnectivity, international networking, speed of data transfer, the compact nature of electronic information and rapidly changing technology. Information security professionals employ a variety of approaches in order to counter risks within this complex and fluid environment. The gamut of potential security activities ranges form access control through a variety of auditing techniques to secure data communications. This field is broad and well documented. Indeed, the discipline of network risk management and data security is both well developed and sophisticated.This paper addresses twin themes:i. The fundamental issue of the method by which specific approaches are employed. This is a precursor to the adoption of an eventual strategy.ii. The crucial issues revolving around the facilitators and impediments of transferring network security management capabilities into developing economies.However the analysis offered here does not operate at a mere academic level. This paper is rooted on a duel premise of academic rigor and praxis with its galaxy of constraints, pressures and limitations.
