The advent of the Internet has brought about newer and easier ways of gaining access to commercial and private information that hitherto had been difficult for unauthorised personnel to view.

 

This is borne by the fact that more organisations have harnessed the benefits of the Internet to push their products and services to global markets. These strategies while encouraging growth in business can and has led to information security incidents where adequate security measures have not been implemented.

Information security breaches can cause damage to reputation, loss in customer and partnership confidence leading to share price devaluation. They may also lead to class action suits which if successful may result in huge payouts which can seriously affect profit margins.

 

Information security incidents can occur when organisations implement business-related functions over the Internet without placing adequate security or indeed are not aware of the risks that can accrue when conducting commercial activities over the Internet.

 

The need to deploy effective information security strategies is no longer just a requirement for maintaining competitive advantage. Deploying adequate industry accepted information security strategies is now a requirement for entering into business partnerships with other commercial entities. In some countries depending on which industry you are in information security is a legal requirement making it an offence not to adopt adequate information security measures.

In conducting global commercial transactions it is paramount that organisations are aware of various information security legislations.
