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.
