Asst.Prof.Dr. Ayşenur ERDİL, faculty member of the Department of Management of the Faculty of Political Sciences of our university, presented her paper titled “The Importance of Information Security and Technology: Evaluation of the Business in terms of Sustainability”, in which she evaluated the importance of information security and technology in the sustainable growth of businesses at the VIIIth International European Congress on Social Sciences held in Croatia between December 4-5, 2022.
In her research, ERDİL pointed out that technology is utilized in ensuring information security and with the development of technology, many product innovations have emerged for the secure storage of information. She stated that process innovations in encrypting information, especially against threatening situations, provide benefits in terms of ensuring the reliability of the information system of the enterprise and the sustainability of information security. However, she pointed out that in parallel with the advances in technology, there is now a greater need to pay attention to the elements that threaten the security of information and she highlighted the concepts of data security.
In her research, ERDİL noted that data security strategy secures the information database and data and underlined the importance of protecting technology-dependent information with methods such as encryption, security models and algorithms developed to meet the objectives of the business. Thus, in the research results, ERDİL included findings and requirements for the improvement and development of information security and assessment analysis, deficiencies regarding the evaluation of compliance with the information security policy using specific measurements, and improvements and developments that can be realized within the framework of compliance with the information security policy.
The results of the research revealed that information management is vital for the sustainable growth of businesses. For this reason, it was pointed out that business employees should be informed about product and process innovations in technology and that employees should be trained on information security, information management, information systems, etc. In addition, it was noted that information security management system cannot be the same in every business, and different systems should be created according to business needs.
