Discuss telecommunication operations and three (3)
security measures to ensure protection of
information.
Telecommunication is the transmission of information in the form of messages,audio and video by electronic media like wire,optical fiber,satelites,radio & internet. Telecommunication system consists of two stations, one is transmitter & another is receiver.
In a telecommunications circuit data is transmitted through an electrical signal termed as carrier wave. When carrier wave transmits the information, it needs some modulation,i.e., it may be analog or digital. However, today's telecommunication system is dependent on Internet Protocols(IPs) to transmit data.
Three security measures to ensure protection of information:
1) Find out the exact access,usage & information distribution policies: After accessing the risk, an organisation can plan the distribution policies for different types of secrect information. Here the authority gives permission to some people who can access the particular information & simultaneously take actions if the rules are violated by the people who access the information.
2) Implement a strong monitoring system: In order to protect information it is necessary to implement an effective monitoring system. Control units must be established to monitor information usage & actions should be taken incase of violation of those policies.
3) Review the system periodically : It is also important to review the system whether the policies & rules are properly working or not. Reviewing the system is also important as implementing the policies.Through reviewing the system the organisation can protect other important information & expand security system to different communication channels.
Protecting information should not be a one time task, it should be a continuous process. Through regular monitoring system the confidential information can be protected all the time.
