INFORMATION SECURITY
Introduction
Information security could be designed for the protection of the three factors of
confidentiality, integrity as well as availability of the information or data of computer
systems from all those with all types of malicious intentions (Crossler et al., 2013). These
three factors of CIA are together referred to as the triplet of the information security. This
triad of CIA has evolved for including the possession, authenticity, utility, confidentiality,
availability and integrity. The risk management is properly handled with the help of
information security. Anything that could bring the negative impact within the organizational
information system is termed as a risk. The confidential information should not be changed or
altered under any circumstances. The message could be either modified while transmitting it
someone or could be intercepted even before it is reaching to the intended recipient (Von
Solms & Van Niekerk, 2013). There are various methodologies that are quite helpful in
proper control and mitigation of all types of risks and threats.
This report will be providing a brief description on the WAS Swim Association of
Western Australia. The various details regarding this particular organization and the several
threats of the information system of WAS Swim Association would be given here. Moreover,
a risk matrix showing all the risks and their probable solutions would be provided in the
