Executive summary
At present time the information technology has vital role for various business. It is seen that as one is
owning and managing business, that constantly utilize the information technology. This is important
to find the issues for IT systems and the information. Here, the following report it is seen that
whether the information technology is secured or not. The study makes a demonstration of security
and encryption and the method that can keep those secrets. Again, biometrics and finger prints has
been witnessing the technology of face recognition that is also examined in this study. Apart from
that, an investigation is performed on geo tracking. This is able deals with surveillance of the space a
time or stalking.

Introduction:
The information technology has a critical role for many businesses. As one own and manage

can be natural disasters like flood, cyclones or fires. One can thus manage the risks of IT through
finishing the assessment of business risks. For this, a discussion is made on encryption and security
and the way that keep the secrets. Apart from that, the biometrics and the finger prints for face
recognition are discussed here. Moreover, an evaluation is done on geo tracking that deals with the
surveillance of space a time or the stalking.
Understanding of the present topic:
The information technology, also called as the IT Security is the measure to deploy the
systems designed and measures for securely protecting and securing data. This involves the
multimedia presentations, motion pictures, still images, vice conversations, personal and business
data. This also involves that is never conceived. This is done with different types of technologies for
creating, storing, using and exchanging the data against the unauthorized types of access,
malfunction, misuse, destruction, and improper discloser (Logan 2020). Thus the value can be
preserved with integrity, confidentiality, intended usage availability and capability for performing
the critical functions permitted. Furthermore, for the safety professionals, the technology can be
