Reflective Writing
Task – Blog #2
I agree with the
statement that governance approaches such as COBIT 5 IT Governance, in relation to information security and
risk, should address all potential threats to an organisation. I also agree that as organisations increase
their usage of mobile devices and social media, in a business context, the
potential risk of fraud also increases.
The COBIT 5 framework addresses IT threats
to an organisation by building a set of governance and management enablers to
support the achievement of IT-related goals and information security measures,
(ISACA, 2012). It is essential that a
holistic approach to IT Governance is taken within an enterprise to ensure a
balanced and stable system is in place.
Whilst at the
university campus library, I proceeded to leave my laptop unattended for a
short period of time, I had no security on my device. During this time an
unknown person inserted a USB into my device and not only stole, by deleted my
assignment documents for that semester.
Through the holistic
implementation of this framework, an organisation can;
-
Improve
their integration of information security within the enterprise
-
Make
informed risk decisions and raise awareness amongst employees
-
Improve
the prevention and detection of fraud.
