The protection of information and systems that processes them has become a business issue rather than technical. Organizations all over the world are dependent on one type of system or the order to process and store critical data that enables daily operations.
The dependent on these systems is now integral to organization day to day activities. While information is defined as data endowed with meaning and purpose, it has become imperative for these meaning and purpose to be preserved to ensure that the right business decisions are made based on it.
The advent of numerous malicious software, trusted insiders, hackers, phreakers and a host of other prudent criminals are however posing the biggest threat of all times to these critical resources.
A search on the internet and daily papers indicates the alarming rate of data and system compromise. Organizations are experiencing a lot of data and system breach as a result of inadequate processes, system misconfigurations and above all an inadequate user awareness, training and education.
It has often been said that effective information security management must encompass people, process and technology. It is also worthy of note that IT security deals only with the technological issues related to information and communication technology but information security deals with a wide range issues that encompass people, process and technology.
The people factor remains the biggest problem in virtually all sphere of life. Managing people and changing their attitude could be a very tasking activity. However, adequate security policy and a coordinated user awareness training and education remain the primary medium of ensuring that processes are obeyed and technologies are securely configured.
Information security ensures the confidentiality, integrity and availability of systems and data. Confidentiality ensures that information will only be disclosed to those who need to see or use it and not to everyone. Integrity attributes ensures that information provided by the systems will always be accurate, reliable and timely. The availability attribute ensures that the systems on which critical business proceses runs will be available at all times and when required.
