Study Notes

Managing Information Systems Security

The AFC department is responsible for the management of all ISs if it oversees the IT department, utilizing a functional approach.
The BP department, directed by CPO, focuses on Business Process Management (BPM) and can also manage all ISs if it oversees the IT department, using a holistic approach.
The ERP System can be managed by the IT department (technical approach), AFC department (functional approach), or BP department (holistic approach).
ISs contain company data and support business processes, making unauthorized access a threat to data theft, damage, or disruption of services.
ISs Security prevents unauthorized access to ISs, protecting them from theft or damage of data and ensuring the integrity of the computer system.
Cyber Security, including ISs Security, is crucial due to the increasing value of data and the prevalence of cyber threats.
Cyber Security threats include individuals or organizations seeking to obtain or alter data illegally, human errors, and natural disasters.
ISs are highly vulnerable due to the ease of data sharing and the use of newer, less secure technologies, requiring a response to security threats.
Common vulnerabilities include unauthorized data disclosure, incorrect data modification, denial of service attacks, and loss of infrastructure.
Technical, data, and human safeguards are essential in ISs Security, involving identification and authorization, encryption, firewalls, malware protection, and role-based access control.
Technical safeguards encompass user identification and authorization, encryption, firewalls, and malware protection.
Data safeguards involve protecting information integrity, while human safeguards focus on role-based access control.
