Threats In Information Security.

Assalamualaikum and hi guys...

    I want to share to you about my opinions regarding threats in information security trends. Base on year 2014 in information security circles, it seems that there are never-ending stream of cyber-threats and data breaches, affecting banks, retailers, gaming networks, governments and more. After doing some review about this topic, i found that there are some trends that can effect the Information security nowadays.

    The first trends is Cyber crime. As we all know, internet has become very important in our life because we use internet in everything, for example manage our schedule or daily life, manage business, playing games and many mores. So internet has become a good sources and attractive hunting ground for terrorist, criminal, hackers and many more to make money. 
    Cyber criminals can take information and use against us and can cause disruption and even bring down corporation and government system through online attacks. We need to know that Cyber criminals were expert and highly skilled and also equipped with very high end or modern equipment, if we a using 20th century systems they are using 21th century tools to take advantage on our systems. So in 2015, we need to prepare for something impossible to happen so that we are ready to counter the Cyber crime.

   The second trends is privacy and regulation, most country or government have created or in process creating regulations that impose conditions on the safeguard and use Personally Identifiable Information (PII). In addiction the government need to protect their privacy and need to treat privacy as both a compliance and business risk issues, in order to maintain their reputation and loss of customers due to information breaches.

   The last trends is  the threats from third-party providers. Networking, and supply chains has become vital and very important components and has become the core of business of every organizations. But we need to remember, the larger the business, the larger the threats will be. The security department has become more concerned about how vulnerable they are to risk and threats because of the third party providers. Many information are shared with the suppliers, and when the information is shared the direct control is lost, it means the information can be given to anybody to take advantage to the organization. To manage this problem, the organization need to managed a well-structured supply chain information risk assessment approach can provide a detailed, step by step approach to portion an otherwise daunting projects into manageable components.

   In year 2015, we need to evolve from promoting awareness of the problem to creating solutions and protect important information. so we need to find solutions, for examples install a antivirus for personal notebook or smart phone is a great step to avoid this problems. The organizations also needs to use the most high end technology to improves their business process and information.
