ROLE AND SECURITY OF INFORMATION IN PUBLIC AND PRIVATE HIGHER EDUCATION SCHOOLS

Journal Title: Scientific Journal of the Military University of Land Forces - Year 2011, Vol 162, Issue 4

Abstract

The paper presents the role of information in the activity of public or private higher education schools. The paper defines two evaluation criteria for information value. The first of them is uncertainty, which is called information entropy. Then the influence of information entropy on the decision-making process is shown. The types of threats to information security are defined. The other criterion enables the evaluation of the value of message. This is strictly a statistical function of the expected benefits which can occur when a message will be used in the decision-making process. The paper presents a classification of the sources of threats which are divided into two groups: internal or external. The article explains a necessity to establish an information security system in an educational organisation such as a college or a university. Its important part is a security forum, which gathers personnel from each department of a college or a university. The security forum specifies risks for the university information assets which will next be protected by safeguards.
