P383 – PROGRAMME ON I.T. SECURITY FOR I.T. OFFICERS 

(COMPANY SPECIFIC PROGRAMME FOR UNITED INDIA INSURANCE CO. LTD.)

 

Background:

 

Much of the information, which is stored and transmitted in electronic form, is very sensitive, strategic or valuable. In insurance companies, most of the  communication is now through electronic media. To take advantage of the electronic communication through available global networking, it is needed to comply with the existing or new security laws and regulations. But decisions on how much to invest in IT security and control are difficult. Insurance companies must consider the best ways to offer flexibility to customers and trading partners, yet ensure security of critical information and systems for all its users.  Insurance companies need to formulate and establish policies and directives in order to protect the investment, safeguard the information contained within these systems, reduce business and legal risks and the most important to protect the good name of the company.  This would require a set of policies on Information Security, Cyber ethics, email usage and privacy of business data in these systems.

 

Objectives:

 

After completing this programme participants will be able to assess the risks - both human and non-human, that can affect the insurance company’s business. Participants will gain an understanding of the required strategies and technologies necessary for the running of a secure business.
