Discusion Post: Shared Practice-How Secure Is Your Data, Information, and Information Systems Technology?
Imagine the following scenario:
You come home from work one evening, turn on the lights, and notice someone has ransacked your office area and has stolen a lot of your personal information and professional documents, including the final design for your organization's new marketing campaign. A month later, you read in the paper that another company just came out with the very marketing campaign your organization designed months before.
It sounds like a scene right out of a movie, but it does happen, and it's a scenario that can happen quite dramatically on an organizational level, both domestically and globally.
For this Discussion, conduct a search using the Internet or Walden Library for 2-3 current and credible articles that focus on trends in security issues affecting today's information systems/information technology world. You should focus on articles that describe trends that affect or could potentially affect global and domestic business operations.
Post the following:
• Provide a brief description of two or more trends related to data, information, information systems, or information technology, security.
• Analyze how the security issues you identified are challenging businesses, including your organization.
• Describe how you, as a manager, will ensure that you protect the data and information you use, communicate, or manage.
Please be specific, and use citations and references as appropriate and necessary.
