Information Security and Sharing
Elizabeth D. Liddy · Syracuse University Libraries (Syracuse University) · 2001
The role of information specialists has broadened in recent years, and, for many, it now includes shared responsibility for the security of the intellectual property of the organization. Information security is a responsibility that, broadly defined, includes two major areas: protection from intruders and protection from unwanted release of information. The first of these, protection from intruders, is usually the responsibility of the IT team alone, and focuses on three major concerns: interruption of service, protection of IP addresses, and intrusion detection. All these pertain to protecting an organization's intellectual property from assault from outside the organization.
