“Security is not a product. It’s a way of thinking and acting”
The internet has become a modern tool for information, communication and trade. With the increasingly important role that Internet plays in today’s business environment, companies use more mobile devices connected to data networks, interconnected via the Internet, e-commerce websites or mail servers, all of these being very important or even indispensable tools for achieving business objectives.
Most companies do not realize the risks they run by using the Internet without taking security into account. Nowadays, all important information of a company (financial data, contracts, written communication, databases of customers, suppliers etc.) is also stored in digital format in the information infrastructure.
Therefore, data security available within the network, information security transmitted by messaging systems and internet security services become a critical issue for any company and are just as important as the physical security of a company or the documents inside it.
IT Security provides three data features: confidentiality, integrity and availability. Confidentiality is the characteristic of preventing access of unauthorized persons or systems to the information. Integrity is the feature making sure that information cannot be altered without authorization. Data integrity is compromised when an employee is allowed to change or delete files / important information, when computers are infected by viruses, when an unauthorized user can modify information in a website or a database and so on.
In order to fulfill its role, a system must provide the information when you need it. Therefore the systems storing the information, the security policies applied to protect the information, the communication channels used to access it should work properly.
Data availability must be ensured by using high availability solutions, by preventing service interruption due to power failure, technical malfunctions, regular upgrades and by preventing DOS attacks (Denial of Service).
