What, Why and How to How to Govern Information Security.
IT security governance is the system by which an organization directs and controls IT security. IT security governance should not be confused with IT security management. IT security management is concerned with making decisions to mitigate risks; governance determines who is authorized to make decisions.
Information security is an integral part of enterprise governance, that should be aligned with IT governance and integrated into strategy, concept, design, implementation, and operation. Protecting critical information must constitute one of the major tasks to be considered in management strategies, and should also be recognized as a crucial contributor to success.
