Information is a critical asset of all organisations and can exist in many forms. It can be stored electronically, transmitted by mail or by electronic means printed or written on paper. In today's competitive business environment, such information is constantly under threat from many sources. These can be internal, external, accidental, or deliberate. An attacker may be motivated by financial gain or may just be malicious. With the increased use of new and complex technology to store, transmit, and retrieve information, businesses have opened up to increased numbers and types of threats.
The UK Government DTI Information Security Breaches Survey 2004 in its introduction states “Almost every business has antivirus software, yet half had infections last year. Everyone makes backups but only one in ten test that their recovery processes would work in a disaster”. The survey shows that too many organisations have waited until an incident hits them before putting countermeasures in place.
