Abstract
The following paper describes the design of an information security program for a midsized
organization of roughly 1000 local and remote employees. There are several essential
components to creating a security program that include creating a policy, managing risk, life-
cycle planning, contingency and disaster planning, awareness training and auditing. A solid
security program is vital to protecting the proprietary data of an organization from both internal
and external attacks in addition to having an organized plan to maintain productivity and recover
in the event of an unforeseen disaster. The combination of knowledge, technology, awareness
and accountability help to ensure a successful program.
