Security Program Development
Unlike the projects undertaken by information technology professionals
in a variety of organizations, information security - the practice of
safeguarding the confidentiality, integrity and availability of
information assets - presents unique challenges. The primary source of
these challenges is the difference between the limited duration of IT
projects, and the ongoing execution required for information security in
order to:
- Manage compliance requirements for existing and emerging security
requirements;
- Assess information security risks to valuable business assets;
- Implement and enforce controls to reduce identified risks; and
- Establish the ability to respond to reported security
events/incidents.
The conclusion that must be drawn from the previous statements is
effective security requires sustained vigilance.
As an ongoing process, security requires close alignment with business
objectives, demonstrated organizational commitment and support from the
top down, and a consistent approach for implementing, monitoring and
improving information security that integrates with the organizational
culture.
