Electronic Information Systems

The British Academy for Training and Development presents a training course on Electronic Information Systems to whosoever aims to develop his skills and acquire experience in the field of Electronic Information Systems and to protect information against any risks which may face it. At the beginning of the nineties, Information Systems were continuously and rapidly developed. Consequently, information specialists found it difficult to cope with these systems whereas the abilities of computers have increased. Systems of full text direct restoration appeared. The commencement of Electronic Information Sources emergence aimed to restore the information coming from the printed information resources. Then information production has directly depended on electronic formation not on the printed paper form. Sources of this information are extension of the main technology represented in the automatically read files. Nowadays, Electronic Information Sources has become one of the most modern developed technologies as they enormously improved in the latest years and they are about to be merged into our life. Currently, they are used in the field of entertainment, education, culture, information…etc. One of the most important electronic information sources is hard disks which are disks or a disk in the shape of a cylinder or cylinders covered with a material on which data can be magnetically recorded along with read/write heads, a mechanical tool for controlling the movements of these heads and a driver of disks rotation. Electronic information storage means also include floppy disks or tapes and other magnetic media. Information Security (IS) is the system used to secure the data transmitted via networks. In the technological development age and the prevailing different means of information storage and exchange; i.e. information transmission on networks and from website to another, it has become important to consider and observe information and data security. Information security is the science applied to provide great and adequate protection of information against any risks which may threaten or damage it through the tools and means required to protect information against internal or external risks. All standards and procedures taken to prevent having access to information by persons who are not allowed to access them through communications are used to ensure the authenticity and correctness of these communications. All techniques used in the world cannot be executed without Information Security (IS).
