IT security policy 2
Introduction:
Information security:
The information security policies are the corner stone of the effectiveness of the
information security. The security related policies are intended for defining what needs to be
expected from the organisation with respect to the information system security (Safa, Solms
& Furnell, 2016). The entire objective is for controlling or guiding the behaviour of human in
an attempt for reducing the risks that are related to the information assets by deliberate or
accidental actions. The policies of Information security underpin the well being as well as the
security of the resources of information (Dalby, 2016). There are three aspects of the
information security, they are as follows:
Confidentiality:
Protect the data and information from the discloser who are not authorised such as to
the press or those who are not titled for having the same.
Integrity:
Protect the data and information from modification that are not authorised as well as
ensuring that the data and information like the list of beneficiaries may be accurate as well as
relied upon and complete (Crossler et al., 2013).
Availability:
Ensure the data and information is having availability whenever it will be needed. The
data and information can be held in many of the various areas, some of them are as follows:
 Network Servers
