Records and Documentary Information Security Using Computers

The British Academy for Training and Development offers a training course on records and documentary information security using computers. It is presented to whoever desires to develop his skills in information security systems, use the computer in the filing system of records as well as documentary information, and protect them from loss. Information security is the system which refers to securing data over the internet. Thanks to technological development, methods of storing information, and exchanging in so many different ways, or transferring information and data over the internet from one site to another, securing information and data has become a critical issue. It is possible to define information security as the science that protects information from any threat.  This happens through providing all the tools and means for the sake of protecting information from internal and external risk. The standards and measures taken through communication, in order to guarantee the validity of these theories, protecting the security of records and information has not started recently, but years ago. In fact, it has been used since the beginning of the technological development. The last decade of the twentieth century has witnessed several developments in the field of Information Technology and Communication. These modern developments in networking have given institutions the chance to link their departments together using a unified system, no matter how far the distance between them is. They mainly depend on the recent developments witnessed by the methods of creating, saving and exchanging electronic sheets. It also affects the easiness of transferring messages, records, and software to any location linked to network around the world. This has lead a great deal of public and private institutions to use international communication networks. Consequently, the spread of these new methods has helped in using electronic records by public and private institutions without having any hard copies for them, which means that all the work is done electronically.
