Analyzing
and assessing risk in relation to information technology can be very
complex. The network architecture consists of hardware, software,
custom applications, communications equipment and various other
technology-related inventory items. Appropriate technical controls must
be implemented to lower overall risk posture.
Internet connectivity is a critical business requirement in most
organizations. Management must, therefore, make certain that their
systems, applications and network architecture include the fundamental
controls that enable each business unit to perform its tasks securely.
A properly configured system and network environment will minimize
information available to potential hackers.
When risks are identified and analyzed, it is not always appropriate to
implement controls to counter them. Some of the identified risks may be
minor in nature; it may not be cost effective to implement expensive
control processes for them.
