The risk of losing important data is one of the reasons why some organizations do not adopt the migration to a public cloud or adopt the partial migration of information that is not critical. The process of risk assessment should be done since the initial stage of a project and become a continuous process. It is an essential process that help management structure to take strategic decision about security mechanisms needed to be implemented to avoid information leaks and about the costs and impact of unexpected events. This paper presents the process of information security risk assessment as well as the importance of knowledge of the associated risks. The paper also proposes a model for determining risk of data security according to their importance for the organization, which provides an overview of vulnerabilities and their real impact on assets. Furthermore, the proposed model helps organizations to choose the right methods to ensure the optimal level of security, in line with operational requirements and critical information.","PeriodicalId":53248,"journal":{"name":"Informatica economica","volume":"112 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87910569","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Jobs that allow remote work are done from home and technologies for video conferencing, online shopping, online services from the state etc. are now in the foreground. Cloud and mobile technologies were already on an upward trend in popularity, but this period propelled them even more into people's preferences. However, like any technology, they can pose security risks in the context of a more intensive use by a larger audience, which must be considered. Of course, the risks must also be measured in comparison with the opportunities that have arisen in the new context. This paper aims to analyze the potential security risks posed by a more intensive use by a larger population of the cloud and mobile technologies. At the same time, the opportunities brought by these technologies in the new pandemic context will be analyzed.","PeriodicalId":53248,"journal":{"name":"Informatica economica","volume":"37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85257480","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
