What does the IT Security Services in the Organization?

In general, the activity of the IT security services in a company may have any one of the forms below:

1.  It may be included in the structure of the organization and financed at its expense.

2. It may exist as a separate commercial Managed lan services Company and work in an organization under a contract to ensure the security of individual objects.

The IT Security Services, which is part of the company, may be in the form of a multifunctional structure that ensures complete safety of the enterprise. Usually, this form of security service is inherent in large financial companies with a stable economic situation.

It can fully ensure the organization of the security system or carry out specific tasks, determine where the listening devices are installed, accompany transit traffic, provides personal security and other services. This category includes Managed wan services Companies and security agencies and some government organizations. 

For many companies, it is much more profitable to use the services of commercial IT security services than to maintain their own security structure. The basics of ensuring information security of an organization are asked on such functional areas as:

1.     Preventing threats to the vital interests of the organization on the part of criminals or competitors. In this case, information techniques such as business intelligence and analytical forecasting of the situation are used to ensure protection.

2.    Taking measures to prevent the introduction of agents and the installation of technical devices in order to obtain confidential information and commercial secrets of the enterprise. The main means of protection here are strict access control, security guard vigilance and the use of technical security devices.

3.       Providing personal protection to the management and staff of the organization. The main criteria for this type of protection are the organization of preventive measures, the experience, and professionalism of the guard, a systematic approach to security.

The structure and organization of the security system are influenced by such factors as:

1   The scale and level of production activities of the organization, the number of employees and opportunities for technical development.

2.     The company's position in the market - the pace of its development in the industry, the dynamics of sales and the percentage coverage of the market, areas of strategic influence, the competitive ability of goods and services.

3.      The level of financial profitability, solvency, business activity and attractiveness for investments.

4.     The presence of objects and subjects for special protection - owners of commercial or state secrets, explosive and fire hazardous areas, environmentally harmful production.

The IT Network Security Companies may consist of a standard set of services:

1.  The first direction is legal protection of entrepreneurial activity, which is a legally competent execution of duties, rights, and conditions for doing business (ownership rights to patents, licenses, property, accounting records, registration documents, agreements, leases, charters, and other documents). The implementation and implementation of this protection for the security of entrepreneurial activity are obvious since the regulatory framework in these conditions is unstable and requires certain legal protection.

2.    The second direction is the physical security of participants in business activities. In this case, the participants or business entities can be not only entrepreneurs but also the resources they use - material, financial, informational. Intellectual security is also included in this category. These are attendants, employees of the enterprise, shareholders.

3.  The third direction is informational and commercial security, which is the protection of the information resources of an entrepreneur and his intellectual property.

4.       The fourth direction is the security and safety of personnel and people working at the enterprise. This is the observance of safety, health, environmental, sanitation, business relationships, and personal safety of employees.

Based on this information, we can conclude that there is no universal or ideal protection method today, although the need for high-quality security is obvious, and in some cases, it is critically necessary.
