Management and architecture of Cyber security : Understanding the Policy,Process, Control and Governance framework

Cyber threatsare one of the most clear and present danger looming over organisation in the current digital world. Cyber securityis an area where technology, people, process and control work together hand-in-gloves to thwart any information leak and hence saving organisation from financial and reputational loss. Information security is fundamental to cyber security as it prepares the organisation to defend the breach of information assets. Any organisation’s cyber security programs is a combination of security of IT and telecom infrastructure, application, data and people. This is the data, also called as Information, that is vital for organisation’s survival. Hence, Information securitymanagement is of fundamental importance in any cyber security initiative adopted my organisations.

In the new age of digital economy, organisations are struggling to protect their digital asset also called as Information. The Information security management system a.k.a ISMS is one of the framework for organisations to adopt to become proactive to the internal as well as external threat to information security. The risk of information securitybreach is far-fetched than the old days phenomenon. These RISKsare not only monetary but also brand image, collapse of a business, property damage etc.

The five axes of digital technology viz. Social, Mobility, Analytics, Cloud and Internet of Everything(IOE) are disrupting the conventional method of doing business. Not adopting these technologies is questioning the basic survivability of organisation. As these technologies are getting adopted, the threat surface for information security breach has multiplied many folds. However, only technology does not lead to a super cyber defence mechanism. As high as, 90% of the information security breach has been attributed to employee or partners and their awareness of information security.

Hence, a good information security management system does not have technology as the only facet, but it has people, process, policy and guidelines as the governing principles with ever evolving strategy tuned to the emerging threat vectors in cyber world.

As a matter of fact, a new employee is required to sign information security non-disclosure and compliance document when they join an organisation. But is that effective? Do organisations see the informal chit-chat among employee a threat? Why can’t they create a work culture where information security become a habit of employees like the personal and family security engrained in their habits.
