ICT security focuses on protecting information systems, networks, and data from unauthorized access,
cyberattacks, damage, or theft. Its main objectives are:
. Confidentiality<\/strong> \u2013 ensuring only authorized users can access information.
. Integrity<\/strong> \u2013 ensuring data remains accurate and unaltered.
. Availability<\/strong> \u2013 ensuring systems and data are accessible when needed.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

*Importance of ICT Audits & Security<\/h6>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n
\n \t\t\t

. Identifies security vulnerabilities and risks.
. Protects sensitive organizational information.
. Ensures compliance with regulations and standards.
. Prevents financial losses from cyber incidents.
. Improves system performance and reliability.
. Builds trust among customers and stakeholders.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

*Common ICT Security Controls<\/h6>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n
\n \t\t\t

. Strong passwords and multi-factor authentication (MFA).
. Firewalls and antivirus software.
. Data encryption.
. Regular software updates and patch management.
. Access controls based on user roles.
