Overview

ABSTRACT

IT security within an organization is of paramount importance. The conclusion is obvious; companies must control access to communication services in order to counter new computer threats. Data at rest, very poorly protected, is the target of these threats, regarding moving data, static protection is illusory. This article deals with a concrete security project case and highlights the importance of adapting this to the concerned company. Among the stages of the process, note the inclusion of a threat as a variable of the system, and even though the efficiency of the security process is incomplete, the attempt to control the risks by reducing the said threats.

 INTRODUCTION

This case study illustrates the importance of adapting IT security to meet new threats to our information and communication systems.

The excessive openness of information systems has led companies to control access to communication services; but the new IT threats now target information, because once the access barrier has been crossed, unstructured data is poorly protected. We need to start the security process all over again, because we seem to have relinquished control over data, and we need to use risk analysis to define security for data at rest, and to ensure the functions of use for data in motion.

The transformation of our information systems must result in a security strategy for sensitive data in line with a security strategy for exchanges.
