Information security is the collection of technologies, standards, policies and management practices that are applied to information to keep it secure.
The value of any piece of information relates to its levels of shareability and scarcity. The aim of information security is to preserve the value of information by ensuring that these levels are correctly identified and preserved.
The design of a successful information security policy and strategy for any organisation requires an assessment of a number of key factors. These factors can be categorised as either imperatives or incentives. Imperatives are pressures that force you to act. Incentives are the rewards and opportunities that arise from acting.
