Protecting your assets
Article Date: Mar 23 2005
With three-quarters of businesses the victims of IT systems security breaches, the DTI has produced a free guide to help protect private and sensitive information from prying eyes.
The proliferation of the internet and other interconnected information systems means that a great deal of important data is at risk of being viewed or tampered with by unwelcome parties. A variety of guidelines and legislation are in place to encourage and enforce a so-called culture of security that all businesses need to be aware of.
And it’s not just electronic data that needs protecting; paper records and even the intellectual property existing inside people’s heads must be defended against interference.
The guide, Information Security: Protecting Your Business Assets, is part of the DTI’s best practice campaign and aims to help businesses protect information and control who can access it.
