Information Security

Human beings are stepping into the information society. The information industry develops very fast, so do the hackers, trick-playing teenagers, fraudsters, and white-collar criminals. Thus, information security becomes an impending and important issue.

In case of information breaching, the victims—government department, an organization or an institution, or a company will inevitably suffer great or small loss. Government may be threatened with national security. Companies may lose opportunities to develop new projects. And the confidence of the public and the users will be damaged.

Then how to handle this issue? Technology is only a partial solution to information security. What’s more important is that organizations and companies should enhance the awareness on information security of their staff. However, since no system can ever be perfectly secure, a prevention-only approach to information security management is not enough. Companies and organizations should adopt a double-approach to information security management by combining prevention and detection techniques.
