Ethiopia In a global information society, where information travels through cyberspace on a routine basis, the significance of information is widely accepted. In addition, information and the information systems and communications that deliver the information are truly pervasive throughout organizations—from the user's platform to local and wide area networks to servers to mainframe computers. The Business Case for Information Security
There are four reasons to implement Information Security:
•
Ø1. Sound management
2. ØSound economics Ø 3. Sound customer service Ø4. Sound legal protection It is sound management: It reduces your risk and allows you to do more business in a safer environment Conditions for sound management decisions •:: Security should support your organization’s mission
•:: Security should be cost-effective (but it does cost)
•:: Security should be an integral element of a management plan
 •It is sound economics: it keeps you from losing money and protects your profits. What are You Risking? :: How do you measure that in terms of security?
Fundamental question:
:: How much could it cost you to ignore Information Security? •
:: Think of the business operations loss
•
:: Think of the data loss, Cost to re-create data
•
:: Think of Cost to eradicate viruses, rebuild computers...
•
:: Think of your liability, loss of customers, reputation
Your investment in security will keep your operating risk from becoming too high.
Security failures may result in both financial losses and/or intangible losses such as unauthorized disclosure of competitive or sensitive information.
