BUSINESS INFORMATION SECURITY AS A PART OF CORPORATE SECURITY

ABSTRACT

In the new concept of national security, intelligence collects business information and has a significant place in the range of instruments for achieving the economic dimension of national security. Vulnerability in the information system causes a negative chain reaction in all other systems and is therefore a matter of general security. The value of business information is measured in billions of dollars, and the U.S. economy has suffered $ 300 billion in damage over the past few years due to the loss of business information. Effective information security can be achieved through a holistic approach that includes organizational and sociological factors within the organization combined with technological measures. Information security should be the responsibility of everyone in the organization, from management and the CEO to the lower level of management and all employees. People are a crucial factor in ensuring the security of the organization and the most common causes of information loss by employees are omissions and fraud, and information security depends on employee behavior that can enhance security and nurture an information security culture that promotes positive security behavior. It is important that the business entity assesses the risks and what information will be available to the public, and that it uses innovative technologies related to the defensive dimension - counterintelligence and greater security of the business entity.
