What is security management?

Security management is not a one time exercise. It is a continuous operation that needs to be embedded within the entire organisation.

Security management deals with controlling the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information, information systems and infrastructure for an organisation.

Security management is a continuous process with repeating steps of analysing, implementing, controlling and improving.
