Information security management is key to a successful company for several reasons. for example: Expectations, customers have expectations on what a company delivers (Like in the case of a bank they expect to have their money safe and have access to it when and where they need it) If a system were to go down or be compromised, the company would fail to meet that expectation. Another example could be the company’s internal Human resources, HR needs access to employee information and they need to be able to document Information that should not be made available to others if a system were to be attacked that information could get out. It is important for companies to make and keep to policies that encourage or require good IT practices like strong passwords and need-to-know policies.

Excellent examples, Joseph. I especially like the bank example. Policies are crucial to keep for IT. Sometimes, companies don’t think this is important until something goes wrong. Great points.
