1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:07,680 All set to start with the first lecture in which we are going to define information and asset. 2 00:00:08,310 --> 00:00:10,920 Well, what is information and what is asset? 3 00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:19,020 According to ISO 9000, that is quality management system information is a meaningful data. 4 00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:24,960 Something that has a meaning or a fact provided is nothing more information. 5 00:00:25,170 --> 00:00:33,090 Your name, your address, your e-mail address is information, the place you work, the organization 6 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:38,750 in you in which you are currently employed or your work is information. 7 00:00:39,060 --> 00:00:41,400 Your password is information. 8 00:00:42,810 --> 00:00:51,750 So facts provided or learned about something or someone is nothing but an information about what is 9 00:00:51,750 --> 00:00:54,660 an asset when it comes to security. 10 00:00:54,660 --> 00:00:58,820 You always will get to learn about this world asset. 11 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:00,380 So what is an asset? 12 00:01:01,290 --> 00:01:09,930 An asset is an item thing or an entity that has potential or actual value to an organization. 13 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:18,390 Now, asset is something that is very valuable to an organization as it can be information that is a 14 00:01:18,390 --> 00:01:19,470 meaningful data. 15 00:01:19,860 --> 00:01:27,510 It can be a software or hardware, for example, when it comes to any idea that you design, that is 16 00:01:27,510 --> 00:01:28,440 an asset for them. 17 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:28,770 Right. 18 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,240 Which has something very important. 19 00:01:31,270 --> 00:01:36,210 Value is an asset then services people. 20 00:01:36,210 --> 00:01:38,550 Yes, even people are assets. 21 00:01:38,550 --> 00:01:46,110 For example, consider a person who has worked in an organization for 15 years and now he has suddenly 22 00:01:46,110 --> 00:01:48,270 choose to, you know, resign. 23 00:01:48,270 --> 00:01:55,950 So that is like losing the asset for the company, his brain, the way he worked or, you know, the 24 00:01:55,950 --> 00:01:56,970 way he operated. 25 00:01:57,300 --> 00:01:58,320 That is an. 26 00:01:59,730 --> 00:02:07,770 Assets can also be intangibles, for example, the reputation and the image of you or your organization. 27 00:02:08,130 --> 00:02:09,500 Yes, that is an asset. 28 00:02:09,510 --> 00:02:18,000 So basically, to sum up, asset is something that has an actual value to an individual or an organization. 29 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:26,910 Now, there are a set of applications, services, information technology, assets, and there are specific 30 00:02:26,910 --> 00:02:30,730 asset controls for maintaining the asset. 31 00:02:31,140 --> 00:02:37,980 Now, according to ISO, IEC twenty seven thousand one, that is information security management systems, 32 00:02:38,850 --> 00:02:44,270 there are four different controls for asset or control objectives for the asset. 33 00:02:44,610 --> 00:02:49,200 Don't worry, we are going to see the controls and the control objectives as well. 34 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:56,490 But for the time being, let us foresee now according to that annex, it ought to dot one which defines 35 00:02:56,490 --> 00:02:58,560 the responsibility of assets. 36 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:05,560 How should one handle the assets and what are the different controls associated with the asset? 37 00:03:05,580 --> 00:03:12,960 So, for example, inventory of assets, which means the organization should identify the assets and 38 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:20,430 define appropriate protection responsibilities that comes under all this control of inventory of assets. 39 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:30,090 So if if an auditor finds out that the protection responsibilities have not been defined, he will draft 40 00:03:30,090 --> 00:03:33,320 a nonconformity, saying that this controller. 41 00:03:33,340 --> 00:03:34,680 Let me take my pen. 42 00:03:36,410 --> 00:03:43,040 This control has been violated because the inventory of assets they can't control is not present. 43 00:03:43,910 --> 00:03:51,860 Similarly, ownership of assets, which means the assets associated with the information and the information 44 00:03:51,860 --> 00:04:00,110 processing facilities shall be identified and an inventory of assets shall be drawn up and maintained. 45 00:04:01,070 --> 00:04:04,400 This is the inventory of assets now. 46 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:10,310 Ownership of assets, assets must be maintained in the inventory and they shall be owned. 47 00:04:10,310 --> 00:04:12,980 They shall be owned by an organization. 48 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:19,490 There should be the person of the buyer, the receiver and the process that is being done with that 49 00:04:19,490 --> 00:04:20,080 asset. 50 00:04:20,870 --> 00:04:28,220 Then comes the acceptable use of assets, which means the rules for the acceptable use of information 51 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:36,230 and of assets associated with information and information processing facilities shall be identified, 52 00:04:36,650 --> 00:04:41,750 documented and implement if there is a P.C. in your organization. 53 00:04:41,750 --> 00:04:48,830 And if nothing about that book is present in any of the records, there is no point of having that use. 54 00:04:48,890 --> 00:04:52,850 The auditors will question the existence of that device, right? 55 00:04:53,270 --> 00:04:57,260 So this should be acceptable use defined of that asset. 56 00:04:57,570 --> 00:05:05,450 And finally, is the return of assets, which means all the employees and external party users shall 57 00:05:05,460 --> 00:05:12,590 return all the organizational assets in their position upon the termination of the employment contract 58 00:05:12,590 --> 00:05:13,330 or agreement. 59 00:05:13,820 --> 00:05:19,580 For example, you have retired from your organization and your organization has been providing you with 60 00:05:19,580 --> 00:05:20,300 a laptop. 61 00:05:20,840 --> 00:05:23,870 So it is your responsibility to return those laptops. 62 00:05:23,870 --> 00:05:31,400 And according to this control, there shall be a process defined in order which the employee should 63 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:39,590 return the asset to the organization because the laptop or the PC is an asset is a valuable thing for 64 00:05:39,590 --> 00:05:40,730 that organization. 65 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:43,390 Well, this is about this lecture. 66 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:44,660 To sum up. 67 00:05:44,660 --> 00:05:46,610 We saw what is information. 68 00:05:46,610 --> 00:05:51,100 We saw the definition of information along with the definition of asset. 69 00:05:51,590 --> 00:05:53,890 We also saw the different types of asset. 70 00:05:53,900 --> 00:06:00,440 And finally we saw the different controls that are being applied to information security management 71 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,520 systems when it comes to asset management. 72 00:06:03,980 --> 00:06:05,960 I will see you in the next lecture.
