teabekaitse

Teabekaitse is a field that encompasses the protection of information and information systems against threats, aiming to preserve confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data. It combines organizational policies, technical controls, and human factors to reduce risk.

The scope includes governance and risk management, information security policies, access control, encryption, network security, data handling, physical security, backup and recovery, and incident response. It also covers compliance with privacy and data protection laws.

Practitioners often use recognized standards and frameworks, such as ISO/IEC 27001 for information security management systems and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, to structure risk assessments and controls. Regulatory requirements such as GDPR influence teabekaitse practices where personal data is involved.

Implementation typically involves appointing a security lead (e.g., CISO or information security officer), conducting regular risk assessments, security training for staff, access management, endpoint protection, and continuous monitoring. Incident response planning and business continuity planning are essential components.

Current challenges include the shift to cloud services, remote work, supply chain risk, and rapidly evolving cyber threats. Balancing security with user experience and privacy, as well as maintaining compliance across borders, are ongoing concerns.
