Given that information security is critical in organisations, this course assumes that you
have an organisation that you can study. This could, for instance, be your employer, a
professional body, a local shop, a library or even your doctors’ surgery. -

learning about information security has made it more clear for me to understand the basics of why organisations hold the sharing of information very very dear to their hearts.
The world is ruled by information and what is said about something in an organisation can be the failure or success of that organisation.
with information making the world spin, it is important to be very vigilant on the type of information that is shared into the world. -
