System security
IT systems should use technology with the appropriate level of security. Businesses who trade electronically are particularly vulnerable to risks such as fraud or breaches of confidentiality - causing not only loss of assets, but also damage to their reputation. For these companies, information and transactions need to be protected by means appropriate to their value and their potential for consequential damage, such as loss of reputation.
To contain the risk a secure architecture is required that provides all the necessary countermeasures that have been identified in the risk analysis.
In general, the security architecture would be expected to include all the appropriate safeguards such as virus protection, firewalls, secure authentication, data encryption, access control, audits trails and secure backup.
In today's world the number and variety of threats to IT systems are multiplying daily, as is the number of security products and services to address them. It is becoming increasingly difficult to ensure that existing systems are not left vulnerable, to select the appropriate new products and systems, and to design, implement and manage these in a way that is both secure and in line with the needs and processes of the business.
