Information, of course, exists in context; it is acquired or created at a particular point in time through a specific process and (usually) for a purpose. It moves through an organization’s information systems, sometimes adding value to processes and sometimes waiting to be useful. Eventually, the information outlives its utility and must be disposed of appropriately. Asset protection forms the baseline for security. Unintended disclosure, unauthorized modification, or destruction of an asset can affect security. In other words, confidentiality, integrity, and/or availability requirements will be affected. This course focuses on protecting information assets. Information is the worthiest asset to an organization. The information’s value, determines the level of protection required by the organization. Asset security is one of most important the aspects. A data classification scheme helps an organization assign a value to its information assets based on its sensitivity to loss or disclosure and its criticality to the organization’s mission or purpose. An organization’s employees need to understand the classification schema being used and proper destruction or disposal procedures. We start off our discussion of asset security by examining an information life-cycle model that applies to most organizations, as well as specific examples. We will then cover the evaluation, use, maintenance, and destruction of the information in the context of its life cycle. This all sets the stage for a discussion of the various organizational roles that deal with information assets, as well as the need for effective retention policies. Finally, we discuss specific threats to information and what controls can be helpful in mitigating the risks of data loss.
