    Justify and support the relationship between infrastructure and security as it relates to this data - collection and analysis company. For a data collection and analysis company, the data is their most valued asset. Hence its security should be of utmost importance to the company. The overall value of the data depends on its context i.e., how it is used, how often it is used, what value it derives for the company and so on. The value of Information Technology to any company is its ability to store, present, manage, analyze and protect the data to support the company do its business operations with the help of it. Some types of data have i nherent value for example profiles of a large number of customers. Some data have derived value for example; large amount of data relating to customer’s buying behavior analyzed using social media tools during the period of black Friday. Some data might be worth more and some data would be of lesser value. Data collected and analyzed from various sources related to customer satisfaction and feedback, sales enticements, competitive differentiation etc all have value. However the ultimate value of the data is quite complicated as it’s built from a composite of all these sub - dates. When more and more people within the company access the data and derive information out of it, makes the data more valuable. How good the data is secured, depends on various factors and one of the biggest factors is he IT infrastructure of the organization. Following are some reasons through which we can determine the relation between infrastructure and data security : a) Loss of data confidentiality: The data which is being transmit ted over a network is always at a risk of being eavesdropped by an unauthorized party. The weak controls over access to the company network might result in data stored on the company's servers and workstations subject to unauthorized access.
