Information is the most important resource any organization controls. Ensuring the confidentiality of information is crucial in today’s world. To help guard against the increasing risk of identity theft, corporate espionage, data pirating, cyber terrorism, and information security breaches, one needs to have a clear framework or methodology that involves people, products, and processes.
Security does not end with buying, installing, and configuring the best products in the industry today. It requires a clear framework or methodology that involves people, products, and processes. Security solutions provide some protection, but the only way to effectively do business in an insecure digital world is to put processes and policies in place that recognize the inherent insecurity in the products. The trick is to reduce the risk of exposure regardless of the products or patches.
Security processes/policies are not a replacement for products; It's about using security products effectively. They can help mitigate the risks. Network security products will have flaws; processes are necessary to catch attackers exploiting those flaws, and to fix the flaws once they become public. Insider attacks will occur; processes are necessary to detect the attacks, repair the damages, and prosecute the attackers. Large system wide flaws will compromise entire products and services; processes are necessary to recover from the compromise and stay in business.
