Identify and describe the major security issues confronting information managers?

One major security threat is a virus. A virus is a programming code put into other programming that lies dormant until triggered an undesirable event. They are picked up by downloading infected programming over the internet or sharing an infected USB device. Another major security threat is called phishing. This is when a scammer will embelish an e-mail with a stolen logo from a well-recognized brand that makes the e-mail look real. The last type of main security threat is cyberterrorism. This is the one people are most concerned about today. Cyberterrorism is when terrorist hackers could shut down the entire communications, money supply, electricity, and transportation systems.
