Importance of a Security Program in Company

             It's always important to have a good plan for securing the information assets, such program is a security program done by Information Security Professionals.  It also Provides a framework for keeping the company at good security levels by assessing the risks faced and how can we mitigate them or for planning how to keep the program and security up to date.
Your company’s value is its data:
             Think you don’t have anything of value to preserve? Think again. The key asset that a security program helps to defend is your data — and the value of your business is in its data. You already know this if your company is one of many whose data management is included by regulatory and other controls — for example, how you handle customer credit card data. If regulations do not already cover your data management practices, consider the value of the following:


o   Product information, covering designs, plans, grant requests, source code, and drawings
o   Financial data, including market assessments and your company’s financial records.
o   Customer information, including the private information you hold on behalf of clients.


Protecting your data means preserving its confidentiality, integrity, and availability as illuminated by the C-I-A triangle The results of a failure to protect all three of these aspects include business losses, legal liability, and loss of company goodwill.
