Basic Principles of Information Security

Information is the lifeline of an organization. Think about what blood does to a human being. That is actually how the data and information that flow through our network is importance for our organization. Data and information are essential in our private lives as we monitor our homes using remote cameras. We want to know where our kids are, what they are doing, or where they are hanging out. We want to know where our vehicles are parked and the things happening around them. So, the information we are tracking must be secure because it can be compromised if it is not secure. And if it is compromised, it would not serve the purpose for which we need the data or information.
