VI. System Security
Other significant sections of an information system must
be considered when developing and maintaining a secure system. Most items
listed below are dealt with in separate security modules. The appropriate place
to deal with these detailed aspects of a secure system is in a separate course
for each of these topics.
When using this basic module, remind students about the
importance of security in each of the major areas listed below.
- PC & Workstations
- Database
- Networks and Communications
- Operating Systems
- Application Software
- Systems Security
- Systems Architecture
- Audit and Control
- Corporate Security Management
Ultimately these areas must be considered together as a
system.
