Audyt bezpieczeństwa informacji w praktyce

Tomasz Polaczek

Rozpoczęła się era społeczeństwa informacyjnego. Działalność coraz większej liczby organizacji i firm zależy od szybkiego i efektywnego przetwarzania informacji. Informacja stała się cennym, często wykradanym towarem. Zagrożeniem dla bezpieczeństwa danych są nie tylko crackerzy, lecz często także pracownicy firmy, którzy nieświadomie udostępniają zastrzeżone informacje osobom trzecim. Upowszechnienie informacji, będących tajemnicą lub własnością intelektualną i handlową firmy lub instytucji, może oznaczać utratę reputacji, zakończenie działalności na rynku lub nawet wywołać kłopoty natury prawnej. Z tych powodów informację trzeba należycie chronić oraz odpowiednią nią zarządzać. Książka "Audyt bezpieczeństwa informacji w praktyce" przedstawia praktyczne aspekty wdrażania i realizowania polityki ochrony danych. Opisuje zarówno regulacje prawne, jak i normy ISO traktujące o bezpieczeństwie informacji. Zawiera informacje o odpowiednim zarządzaniu systemami przechowywania danych, fizycznym zabezpieczaniu miejsc, w których znajdują się nośniki danych, oraz szkoleniu użytkowników systemów. Normy ISO i PN dotyczące ochrony informacji Planowanie polityki bezpieczeństwa Umowy o zachowaniu poufności Zabezpieczanie budynku i pomieszczeń Tworzenie procedur eksploatacji sprzętu i systemów Ochrona sieci przed programami szpiegującymi Zarządzanie dostępem użytkowników do systemu Odpowiednio zaplanowane procedury ochrony danych mogą uchronić przedsiębiorstwo przed poważnymi problemami.
