Consequently, companies aim to create databases and electronic management systems and use electronic communication technology. Although these methods have accelerated the tasks and jobs performance within shorter time and more accurately, they include problems and cautions pertaining to the electronic security level, large number of risks and penetration methods which may be faced by them. Therefore, companies need developed ideas and abilities in order to protect this information.

Information Systems is an academic study of systems with a specific reference to information and the complementary networks of hardware and software that people and organizations use to collect, filter, process, create and also distribute data. An emphasis is placed on an information system having a definitive boundary, users, processors, storage, inputs, outputs and the aforementioned communication networks.
