ITIL Security Management

The ITIL-process Security Management describes the structured fitting of information security for information retrieval in the management organisation. ITIL Security Management is based on the code of practice for information security management now known as ISO/IEC 27002.

A basic goal of Security Management is to ensure adequate information security for an it infrastructure library. The primary goal of information security, in turn, is to protect information assets against risks, and thus to maintain their value to the organisation. This is commonly expressed in terms of ensuring their confidentiality, integrity and availability, for systems such as the it service desk along with related properties or goals such as authenticity, accountability, non-repudiation and reliability.

Mounting pressure for many organisations to structure their Information Security Management Systems in accordance with ISO/IEC 27001 requires revision of the ITIL v2 Security Management volume, and indeed a v3 release is in the works.
