° Involve the IT department in procurement
° Implement a vulnerability identification and management process
° Develop a policy for hardware and software updates
° Enhance security controls for wireless communication
° Establish testing policies
° Establish business continuity plans
° Take into account interoperability issues
° Enable testing of all components
