Managing Information Resources: Ensuring Data Security

Abstract:

Experts felt that organizations had to be balanced in their efforts in addressing this problem as too much monitoring or high-handedness on the organization's part might hurt the morale of the employees, breed disloyalty, and lower productivity. Moreover, this threat was expected to intensify in the future as these portable devices were getting more sophisticated and acquiring wireless capabilities.

Issues:

» Understand the threats posed to data security in organizations by advanced technology (in this case, the portable data storage devices like MP3 players)

» Understand the control measures to be put in place to protect the data in the organization

» Understand the dilemma faced by the IT and Human Resources Departments of the organization in dealing with such sensitive issues
