What is IT security management?

IT security management is the process of implementing and maintaining measures to protect information technology systems and data from unauthorized access, misuse, or damage.

In an era of increasingly sophisticated cyber threats, IT security managers and teams are responsible for identifying and managing a growing range of risks that can disrupt business processes and result in significant financial losses.

To effectively manage IT security, organizations must not only protect business-critical assets and systems but also monitor the supply chain for weaknesses and vulnerabilities that could potentially be exploited by malicious actors.
