ABC Bank Security Plan
Information security is the process of protecting all data in an organization, more particularly the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of critical data in an organization. As stated in the Whitman text, "Risk is the likelihood of the occurrence of a vulnerability, multiplied by the value of the information asset, minus the percentage of risk mitigated by current controls, plus the uncertainty of current knowledge of the vulnerability (p 284)." We've assessed the risk of ABC Bank as it concerns to information security in this document and made recommendations based on these risks. ABC Bank & Trust Company has taken the first step to improving their information security posture by allowing this assessment of their organization. The Bank's current infrastructure would be considered above average compared to their peers, but there are some areas where they could improve. The bank currently uses the following model as it concerns to security management. This model is used in many quality management systems such and in the ISO standards that many manufacturing, environmental, and other industries use to control different aspects of their businesses.
