Study Notes

Managing Information Systems Security

Information systems security refers to precautions taken to keep all aspects of information systems (e.g., hardware, software, network equipment, and data) safe from destruction, manipulation, or unauthorized access or use.
The primary threats to the security of information systems include natural disasters, accidents, employees/consultants, links to outside business contacts, and outsiders (hackers/crackers).
Securing against these threats must consider the primary goals of availability, integrity, confidentiality, and accountability.
Information systems security involves four main tasks: assessing risks, developing a security strategy, implementing controls and training, and monitoring security.
Risk assessments are performed to ensure that IS security programs make sense economically.
A strategy should be formulated that details what information systems controls (in terms of technology, people, and policies) should be implemented.
Policies and procedures that establish responsibilities include confidential information policy, use policy, and account management policy.
Technological safeguards for reducing risk include physical access restrictions, firewalls, and encryption.
Physical access control methods include biometrics, access control software, and smart cards.
Firewalls can be implemented in hardware, software, or a combination of both to detect intrusion and prevent unauthorized access to or from a private network.
Encryption can be used to protect data that is transmitted over the internet.
Human safeguards can help protect information systems, including ethics, laws, and effective management.
