  1. INFORMATION SECURITY in a MODERN WORKPLACE

  2. Introduction Understanding Information Safety Today, information is a company’s biggest asset. Understanding the risks associated with storing and transmitting information digitally in the modern workplace is essential for safeguarding businesses. This slide deck will be looking at the key elements of information safety. We will also briefly discuss some high risk sectors and what they stand to lose by taking information security for granted. Finally, we will look at Ricoh’s role in managing information along with some of the security services offered by us.

  3. Key Areas of Concern

  4. 1 confidentiality A company’s data is at its most vulnerable when it is being processed or transmitted. There’s a great deal of technology involved in transmitting data, and often, we don’t understand those processes in their entirety. This lack of understanding makes us easy targets for hackers. Therefore,it’s essential that you take steps to ensure that there is no unauthorised disclosure of data during processing, transmission or storage. And to do that successfully, you need the help of professionals who not only understand these complexities, but also work efficiently to create a powerful cyber shield around your data.

  5. 2 It’s imperative to maintain the integrity of the data being handled. Sometimes, companies tend to get careless and employees take advantage of that to manipulate data. Or, in what can be only worse, the agency you outsourced your security to might tamper with the data themselves! It’s crucial, therefore, that you use a network security system that’s foolproof. Ricoh’s services, for example, guarantees no unauthorised alteration of data. integrity

  6. 3   A security system should be available round the clock. More importantly, it should be available with the same level of efficiency at all times, otherwise the entire system is practically useless. Also, we often find that the security system hasn’t been calibrated properly, which leads to denial of access/service even to authorised users. This is just as sub-optimal as allowing unauthorised users in. Therefore, a security system should be set up with utmost care. It should offer protection against unauthorised use of the system. At the same time, it is not hindering the work of those whom it’s meant to safeguard! availability

  7. 4 Every individual with the permission to use/access your company’s data must be registered separately and uniquely. There must be personal identifiers and a hierarchy of permissions among users. This ensures that sensitive data is kept out of the reach of non-essential personnel, and every action taken on any of the datasets can be traced back to a single individual. Ricoh lays a great deal of emphasis on “accountability of actions”, because it allows us to get to the root of the problem fast, and allows us to isolate individuals who are responsible. Moreover, it gives us an opportunity to streamline data access and ensure that confidential information stays that way. accountability

  8. 5 Non-repudiation is the assurance that the authenticity and integrity of network communications are maintained; that no one can deny their actions or escape the consequences of said actions. It follows a “if the bulb is glowing, then the switch is on” kind of philosophy. It helps ensure that there is proper justice mechanism in place for dealing with any unpleasant situations that might arise over the course of time. Such incidents might include, but are not limited to, a worker denying the authorisation of access/distribution of information, multiple parties using single access keys, and giving access to outsiders without proper authorisation. non-repudiation
