Information Security

Information security is vital in any IT Situation; this includes all sized organisations and home users. Security of information is important because if the information gets into the wrong hands it have be a huge security risk. Large organisations have security measures and protocols on place to try and prevent this from happening but it cannot always be stopped, such as if a user is working from home and is working whilst running dodgy software this can compromise company data as the dodgy software may be programed to upload that data into the cloud somewhere. If security of information is not followed properly this can lead to data security being compromised, which could be dangerous for the organisation if it was to fall into the wrong hands.

The best way to keep information secure would be to:

·         Not agree to save any credentials (Such as login details)

·         Not store any important information on an unsecure computer (Such as a computer with no antivirus)

·         Not to have work files on a computer running counterfeit software (Such as a computer with pirated software)
