问题     It never rains but it pours. Just as bosses and boards have
finally sorted out their worst accounting and compliance troubles,
and improved their feeble corporation governance, a new problem
threatens it—especially in America—the sort of nasty headlines that【S1】______
inevitably lead to heads rolling in the executive suite: data
insecurity. Leave, until now, to odd, low-level IT staff to put right,【S2】______
and seen as a concern only of data-rich industries such as banking,
telecoms and air travel, information protection is now high on the
boss’s agenda in businesses with every variety.【S3】______
    Several massive leakages of customer and employer data this【S4】______
year—from organizations as diverse as Time Warner, the American
defense contractor Science Applications International Corp and even
the University of California, Berkeley—have left managers hurriedly
peer into their intricate IT systems and business processes in【S5】______
the search of potential vulnerabilities.【S6】______
    "Data is becoming an asset which needs to be guarded as many【S7】______
as any other asset," says Haim Mendelson of Stanford University’s
business school. "The ability to guard customer data is the key to
market value, what the board is responsible for on behalf of【S8】______
shareholders". Indeed, just like there is the concept of Generally【S9】______
Accepted Accounting Principles(GAAP), perhaps it is time for
GASP, Generally Accepted Security Practices, suggested Eli Noam
of New York’s Columbia Business School. "Setting up the proper【S10】______
investment level for security, redundancy and recovery is a
management issue, not a technical one," he says. [br] 【S9】
选项
答案 like—as
解析 近义词误用。as和like都有“正如，好像”的意思，但as可以作连词，引导句子，而like只能作介词，不能用来引导句子，所以此处用as，意思是“正如存在公认的会计原则一样，现在可能是采取公认的安全措施的时候了。”
