Abstract

Over the years, information security has moved away from its technical image, and has a wide range of other facets which must all be considered in creating a secure IT environment. This paper addresses these different facets and the way they work together to create a secure IT environment. Focus is on the fact that if information security is not addressed in a holistic and comprehensive way, taking all its dimensions into account, real risks exist preventing a really secure environment.
