TORONTO, July 10, 2013 /CNW/ - Retained executive search firm The Caldwell Partners International Inc. (TSX: CWL) today announced the launch of its Information Security Practice. With an estimated 18 victims per second, cybercrime is one of the top threats facing businesses today; it is also a burgeoning area of leadership demand. The Information Security Practice is positioned to serve clients across industries meet their talent needs in this increasingly critical area.

"Top US intelligence officials recently put cyber-attacks at the top of the list of major threat facing the US, naming financial institutions as one of the three areas most vulnerable to attack.," said Jim Bethmann, co-leader of the Information Security Practice. "This level of concern is merely indicative of growing unease elsewhere in the world."

Companies that maintain personal information have a huge responsibility to safeguard that privacy. Consequently, they must approach their network and data security differently.
