While it is universally accepted that the Information Security function is necessary in today$$s technology$-$driven global

economy in order to safeguard confidentiality, integrity and validity of the information which various operations in the

business organization make use of in making vital decisions in pursuit of the achievement competitive goals, there is

always the likelihood of a conflict arising between the Information Security faculty and the Information Technology

Department of the organization. A perfect exemplar scenario is when the IT Department is working hard to ensure that

information is produced timeously in order to be delivered to target departments so that they may make use of it while it

is still relevant and effectual. This is one of the tenets upon which information dissemination and delivery are pivoted,

but the Information Security function may actually slow the transmission and dissemination of information since all

information must be validated, verified and assessed against the specific security criteria set by the organization as

aligned to the business$$ strategic objectives.

Evaluate how, by using Security Planning, Security Policy and Security Programs the organization can go a long way in

potentially eradicating scenarios of conflict between these two vital functions of the business organization.
