# Goals of Network Security Network security goals vary from organization to organization. Often, however, there are a few common mandates: * Ensure the confidentiality of resources * Protect the integrity of data * Maintain availability of the IT infrastructure * Ensure the privacy of personally identifiable data * Enforce access control * Monitor the IT environment for violations of policy * Support business tasks and the overall mission of the organization In order to accomplish your organization's security goals, you need to write down those goals and develop a thorough plan to execute them. Without a written plan, security will be haphazard at best and will likely fail to protect your assets. With a written plan, security is on the path to success. Once you define them, these security goals will become your organization's roadmap for securing the entire IT infrastructure.
