Security management

Security management is the identification of an organization's assets i.e. including people, buildings, machines, systems and information assets, followed by the development, documentation, and implementation of policies and procedures for protecting assets.

Security management includes the theories, concepts, ideas, methods, procedures, and practices that are used to manage and control organizational resources in order to accomplish security goals. Policies, procedures, administration, operations, training, awareness campaigns, financial management, contracting, resource allocation, and dealing with problems like security degradation are all included in this vast sector.[1]

An organization uses such security management procedures for information classification, threat assessment, risk assessment, and risk analysis to identify threats, categorize assets, and rate system vulnerabilities.[2]
