Need For Information Security
Governments, corporates, financial institutions, hospitals, and private businesses produce a great deal of confidential information about their employees, customers, patients, products, research, and financial status. Most of this information is collected, processed and stored on electronic computers and transmitted across networks to other computers, not to mention the information kept on paper.
Should confidential information about a business, its customers, finances or new products fall into the wrong hands, such a breach of security could lead to lost business, law suits or even bankruptcy. Protecting confidential information is a corporate requirement, and in many cases also an ethical and legal requirement.
