The objective of IT security includes protection of information and property from theft, corruption, or natural disaster, while allowing information and property to remain accessible and productive to its intended users. By managing IT security effectively, an organization can avoid unauthorized access, disruption, and even data loss. A sensible security policy will also take into account the right balance between a safe computing environment and encumbering employees with excessive security rules and firewalls.
