Role of Managers in Safety Risk Management in Integration Information Systems

摘要

Today, almost all organisations create and use in their business electronic data and documents which are created both within and outside the organisation. A vast quantity of information which is thus being used and replaced may be processed in a timely and quality way only by integrated information systems (IIS) by fulfilling three basic safety requirements: confidentiality, integrity and availability. Various risks may impact and do impact the fact that information system is not always safe. While at the beginning of development of IT systems, safety was taken care of only by IT experts, today the efficient protection of IIS systems is unthinkable without the active role of top managers of all profiles. A thesis expanded in this paper is that the efficient management of safety risks is proportional to the amount of active participation of top management in the process of implementing safety, indicating that knowledge of information safety is an unavoidable component of manger's knowledge.
