Information Security Issues In The Digital Era

Information is a data which are accurate, specific and organized for a purpose, presented within a context that give the meaning and relevance. It can lead to an increase in understanding and decrease in uncertainty. Information is also valuable because it can affects behaviour, decision, or outcome. Furthermore, information is a central concept in daily life because human rely on information in order to decision and sense of the world. Information is something which allows we to make accurate predictions better than chance. Next, digital era is a period in human history which characterized by the shift from traditional industry that the industrial revolution brought through industrialization, to an economy based on information computerization.

As we all known, cloud is the visible storage that store our data or information. According to Eric Griggith (2015), cloud computing is explained as storing and accessing data and programs over the internet instead of our computer’s hard drive. Cloud is just a metaphor for the internet. It goes back to the days of flowcharts and presentations that would represent the gigantic server- farm infrastructure of the internet as nothing but a puffy, while cumulonimbus cloud, accepting connections and doling out information as it floats. Besides that, cloud computing neither involves hard drive storage nor dedicated network attached storage. Therefore, people keep doubtful about the capability of cloud in storing all information. This is because, cloud database is a type of computing that relies on sharing Cloud database is a type of computing that relies on sharing computing resources rather than having local servers or personal devices to handle applications. Cloud database is comparable to grid computing, a type of computing where unused processing cycles of all computers in a network are harnesses to solve problems too intensive for any stand-alone machine. However, at Asian country the capability still dubious. More, information knowledge and security about cloud database in Malaysia still low compare to other Europe country. Example scenario at Malaysia, most of government agency still using virtual server to store their data raider move to cloud. This is because, all these data is confidential and asset to country. Till now, there are no any agency can guarantee the security of the cloud database. Meanwhile, in my career industry which is information technology (IT), System Application Product (SAP) already introduce the new enterprise resource planning (ERP) software to the world such as ECC for HANA cloud or SAP Business One Cloud Solution but there still no documentation
