This blog post introduces how to clearly and persuasively outline core competencies—such as understanding security policies, hacking response capabilities, and firewall/data protection—that should be prioritized when drafting job performance plans for new IT security roles.

Understanding the Organization and Role

I will excel as an IT security services expert.
As damages from hacking continue to rise, security has become increasingly vital for companies. Web hacking is growing in scale, affecting individuals and businesses alike, making continuous IT security upgrades essential within companies to protect critical corporate secrets. Therefore, the role of an IT security service expert within a company is extremely important. As that expert, I will proactively establish processes to secure corporate secrets, prevent hacking damage from occurring, and ensure rapid recovery with minimal financial loss should a hacking incident occur.

Job Objectives and Implementation Plan

I will understand and propose information security policies

After joining the company, I will review your information security policies, identify vulnerable areas, and propose upgrades. I will also continuously discuss ensuring policies incorporate the latest security trends and technologies.
I will establish information security policies and implement corresponding physical and technical access controls. I will consistently perform routine monitoring, software management, and security audits. Furthermore, when introducing new systems, I will conduct thorough security assessments to ensure security is not compromised.

We will focus on measures to prevent hacking

We will configure a firewall system to control access from external sources to the internal network and manage specific internal services like ‘messengers and games’. Since all internet data passes through the firewall, we will analyze logs and utilize intrusion detection capabilities to prioritize firewall security. In configuring the firewall system, we will identify internal and external services, source, install, and manage the firewall software, and establish guidelines for employee internet usage within the firewall. We will operate a stable network with intrusion detection through server monitoring and log analysis via the firewall, and implement server monitoring and log analysis tools to establish monitoring and log analysis guidelines.

Data Protection and Security Measures

We will establish security classifications to protect data files on
servers and employee PCs, designate file owners and administrators, and explore data encryption solutions. We will develop policies for PC access control and establish guidelines to enhance individual employees’ security awareness. Guidelines for enhancing individual security awareness will define personal responsibility areas and managerial responsibility areas. In the event of an incident, individuals will be able to familiarize themselves with personal data recovery instructions for hacking intrusions. Specifically, to enable rapid recovery and avoid damage during hacking intrusions, we will prepare recovery instructions for employees in advance and ensure they can report incidents immediately.

Vision and Commitment

We will seek out systems that facilitate the management of administrative processes.
It is necessary to systematically manage current software and hardware at the asset management level. As software and hardware continuously evolve, failure to upgrade them—which is akin to strengthening security—increases the likelihood of hacking and virus penetration. Therefore, we believe it is desirable to create and maintain a management database that includes basic items such as software version, purchase date, expiration date, and update status, and to use an application that can form a database rather than simple office files. To this end, we will discuss options such as developing a management program suitable for your company or utilizing ERP and groupware systems that will be introduced.
