Security operations management is an as critical as any other business operations for the success of the business. Information security managers play a necessary, pivotal role in the IT and information security departments of the organizations they serve. They operate as the brains of the organization’s IT and information security teams and manage the overall operations and direction of their departments. The primary role of the information security manager is to manage the IT and information security department objectives. Typical duties include creating and maintaining information security policies and procedures, selecting and implementing new information security technologies, creating information security training programs and assessing potential information security team personnel. This position is also deemed to be the highest tier of escalation if particularly difficult information security issues emerge. With the increasing focus on security and scarcity of skilled resources, our Virtual Information Security Manager (vISM) will:
Physical and environmental safeguards are often overlooked but are very important in protecting information. Buildings and rooms that house information and information technology systems must be afforded appropriate protection to avoid damage or unauthorized access to information and systems. In addition, the equipment housing this information (e.g., filing cabinets, data wiring, laptop computers, portable disk drives, servers, network devices, etc.) must be physically protected. Equipment theft is of primary concern, but other issues should be considered, such as damage or loss caused by fire, flood, and sensitivity to temperature extremes, etc.
Operations security, or OpSec, is the process of protecting valuable information assets from data leaks, loss and damage. It is an important part of risk management, where we identify opportunities for data loss or theft and work to minimise these risks. With good OpSec controls in place, you can lay out a framework of best practices and guidelines on how best to protect valuable information. Effective OpSec ensures confidential information isn’t intentionally or unintentionally exposed, and also guides how the organisation may respond in the event of a compromise. Information leaks can be potentially devastating for an organisation, with hackers gaining access to sensitive information such as financial records and personnel data. Therefore, it is exceedingly important to maintain strong OpSec policies.
OpSec is a security and risk management process and strategy that classifies information assets, then determines what is required to protect sensitive information and prevent it from getting into the wrong hands.To ensure the IT systems, resources, and applications are available to right people at right time is vital for the ongoing of the business operations.Basic hygiene of security operations such as patching, backup and restore, log analysis and remediation, harmful code, IT infrastructure hardening need to be in place and reviewed regularly to ensure its applicability.The range of threats that organizations face is getting bigger and broader. Malicious actors are targeting all types of devices, applications, networks and users.
