Security Management in the Digital Era

Summary/Abstract: The digital era, accelerating the exchange of information and changing the form of document circulation, have created new entrances to any organisations. No longer the glazed front door, but internet links lead someone deep into the organization. Guards and security services have been replaced by computer systems, anti-virus programs and firewalls. Using fiber optics some black-hat can reach much further, penetrate the structure of the organization incomparably deeper, causing damage many times greater than that occurred in the past.There are so many threats that it is impossible to list them, every day new forms of attack and previously unknown ways of phishing information and form of stealing money are invented. Initially, sets of rules were created to familiarize employees with dangers. They focused on the protection of confidential copies and files, on ways of creating access passwords and forms of handling information. In a relatively short time, however, it turned out that the digitized economy requires systematic treatment. The concept of security management in the digital era has emerged; it is systematized and focused on clearly identified areas. The security management in digitalized world includes such areas as: data management, process and work-flow automation, advanced decision-making automation, infrastructure management, intelligent interfaces, management of the external IT ecosystem and management of employee skills and organizational culture. Continuous improvement in the management of these areas will certainly not eliminate threats, but will significantly improve security, which is contemporary „to be or not to be” for any organization.
