BA School of Business and Finance, Latvia

Abstract

Cyberspace is a virtual environment. Today, it does not matter which device you use for connecting to the internet. You are just in there… In Latvia there are different views on information security management models, managerial duties and responsibilities, professional skills and competence in the private sector and the public sector, as well as skills and competence in the European business environment.

The question is how to achieve good relationship, successful collaboration and a secure environment in cyberspace, how to provide the holistic approach and security intelligence, how to map out a new attitude?

Security cannot exist as a standalone function, it should be integrated in the associated processes continuously supervising and improving the security management programme based on predefined criteria. Adopting a holistic approach with regard to security has proven to be a critical contributing factor to effective security in organizations.
