Information Technology is in a state of perpetual
change, and policies, strategies, and system
implementation must accommodate these realities.
Network/ system security requires ongoing analysis and adjustments to meet emerging
threats.
Equipment must be updated to remain reliable and secure.
Data communication links between locations require evaluation of alternate information
storage and backup process to ensure optimal performance.
