Over the last ten years, information technology has brought new levels of business opportunities and productivity gains. IT has become a strategic business growth engine, opening up doors to new customers, enabling new products and services, and improving customer experiences. However, as more and more business is driven across the Internet, it also places critical information beyond the security of data management systems.In the current environment a security breach has the potential to impact a business’s bottom line damaging its reputation, customer loyalty and profitability, and personal identity information is at the top of the IT attack shopping list for organised criminals.
A paper, produced by Oracle, presents an overview of the security considerations that need to be taken into account in order to secure data. It is an excellent guide for “generalist” security managers seeking to gain a better understanding of IT and data security issues. Obviously, it concludes with an Oracle solution, but since readers of this blog are generally not IT security budget holders, this techie bit can be ignored.
