Best Practice for Security Management

Description

Information is one of the most important assets for business. Without it only a few processes are able to perform as intended. The sharing of information with other organisations, which enables quick and automated processing, increases that importance.

For Information Technology (IT), information is the core of its existence. Anything that threatens information or the processing thereof, will directly endanger the results of the organisation. Whether it concerns the accuracy or timeliness of the information, the availability of processing functions or confidentiality, threats that form risks have to be encountered by security. The aspects mentioned are structural for IT. That means that there are structural risks. Structural risks require structural security.
