Why you need Linus Secure ISM

Information Security (IS) risks are faced by everyone, every day, everywhere, at work and at home, and are increasing rapidly.

Traditional Information Security Management (ISM) methods are:

  • Vendor or Media driven – The solution is usually “suggested” by the Vendor or the Media playing on fear, uncertainty and doubt and implemented by the IT Dept without consulting the Business
  • Arbitrary – Business requirements are not analysed (blind faith)
  • Unquantifiable – No business case to quantify cost/savings
  • Isolated - Do not look at security controls holistically
    e.g. Why do you need strong passwords for a PC in a locked room?

Organisations do not ask what their most critical data is, where it is or how much security is enough to protect it.

Without knowing the answers to these questions, they do not know what needs to be protected, to what extent, and where the protection is required.

If critical data is

  • Under-protected - it is unnecessarily exposed to security risks, such as hacking and fraud
  • Over-protected - money and resources are wasted by implementing blanket security controls which are over-kill for the risk involved.

Why build Fort Knox if you are not protecting gold? 

Sometimes the optimal solution can be a simple, manual system or change in business procedure instead of the expensive Vendor solution.

But how do you know if you don’t analyse your data and the available security controls?
