Business IT Security?

Question

I'm writing an essay about computer security within business.
I'm structuring it under the main topics of:
Hardware
Software(Malware, viruses...)
Physical(The server room)
& Network(Internet...)

Can you guys give me suggestions of subtopics of stuff that I could be missing etc...
Thanks!

Answer 1

Under your physical security make sure to mention: climate controls (humidity and temperature), fire extinguisher location, power backup runtime and surge protection, SMTP or cell phone notification when critical servers/equipment go down, redundant power supplies, RAID levels, service agreements that provide quick replacements for servers and network equipment.

Answer 2

2

Answer 3

Endpoint Security - By 2009 nearly 900 million workers will make up the distributed workforce, and 60%
of a business' critical data will reside outside the safety zone.

Answer 4

Don't forget about Account Security. The need for a password to access your own computer and the need to secure data so that someone else can not see your data should they log on to your computer. That is a major IT concern.

Answer 5

Here's a big one, USERS.
You can have everything set up to be a secure system with VPN and a router firewall, but your users always find a way....

Answer 6

Control over access to systems, functions within systems, etc.
