2IS SECURITY AND RISK MANAGEMENT
1. Introduction to identify the selected sector
Disaster, computer crimes, security breaches are the most common terms widely using by
the business organizations while discussing or reviewing their security functionalities and
possible risks. In order to minimize theses risks accurate risk mitigation measures and risk
responses should be implemented by the business organizations. The sector specifically chosen
for this essay is manufacturing industry.
A primary research is being conducted to understand as well as realize the difference
between general management control and application control used by the manufacturing
companies to reduce the risks (Zhang and Gupta 2018). Three potential security issues those are
interrupting the regular success and expected outcomes of the manufacturing organizations and
the respective risk mitigation approaches needs to be evolved to minimized these risks are all
elaborated in this essay. Apart from this, in order to achieve the CIA requirements of the
manufacturing industry are also illustrated in this essay.
2. Literature review
According to Lee and Lee (2015) one of the most noteworthy advances identified in the
computer science development, information and communication technologies are represented by
cyber physical security (CPS). Within the latest installment in security profile series as well as
compliance risks various industries are facing variant challenges. If consumers goods, broad
range company presentation are included and considered for the organizations then different
types of security threats will be identified. Based on the product and service types the security
threat also varies from each other. The cyber physical system is used for collaborating different

computational entities together. The Research and Development (R&D) department of the
manufacturing industries are required to be identified at the project initiation phase. Zhong et al.
(2016) stated that in order to distribute the products and goods professionally and properly
among the consumers and other user’s proper supply chain management mechanism is required
to be incorporated.
The manufacturing industry should also focus on the materials they are expecting from
the suppliers (Dofe et al. 2017). The contracted vendors and suppliers should supply quality raw
materials to fulfill the manufacturing needs and requirements. Professional project management
system will affect the manufacturing companies is various ways that include input availability
required for processing the production, cost and manufactured item profitability. This will help
to create a professional relational between the suppliers and consumers (Monostori et al. 2016).
The industrial managers and entrepreneurs must follow strategic viewpoints of the users and
product and service developers. On the other hand, Inter of Things (IoT) is recognized as a very
crucial area of future technologies and it is also obtaining vast attention from different range of
industries. The IoT technologies that are essential for IoT based product and service development
in the manufacturing industry must undertaken all enterprise application. According to Beninger
(2017) it will help to improve the values of the consumers.
Use of technologies are increasing day by day however, if accurate physical security
measures are not adopted by the manufacturing industry then it will cause major threats to the
organizational owners. Moreover, it can be said that each of the technologies utilized in the
manufacturing industry must have proper protection and security measures. The manufacturing
industry offers either services or products to their consumers. Reliable inputs and distribution
cost are the main concern or focus for the owners of the manufacturing industries. The
