IT security policies (including network security policies) are the foundation of information security within an organization. As such, it is well worth considering a few questions with respect to them:

The first issue to consider revolves around the content and structure of the policies themselves: Are they comprehensive and complete? Are they fully up to date? Do they properly reflect your needs?

If in doubt - stop there! Distribution and deployment of inappropriate or inadequate policies can cause significant problems. Having a security policy document in itself is often not enough: the contents MUST be delivered effectively to have the desired results. This is sometimes easier said than done!

With a comprehensive IT Security Policy in place, you can now investigate if your current IT Security solution is adequate.

IT security is an integral part of continuous program and service delivery. To avoid the loss of service and trust that IT security breaches can cause, companies need to view IT security as a business imperative; a "service enabler."

Information technology continues to rapidly advance in support of greater interconnectedness and improved service delivery. At the same time, the number and potential severity of threats, vulnerabilities and incidents similarly increase. Companies need to be aware of this evolving environment, and understand how to manage their IT security programs in order to respond.

Far more than the sum of the tools used to protect information and systems, an effective IT security program combines people, processes and technologies. Each department's senior managers, program and service delivery managers, security personnel, IT operational personnel, human resources personnel and other stakeholders work together in a concerted manner to achieve the same high level of IT security.
