DEVELOPMENT AND DEPLOYMENT OF A SECURITY INFORMATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR ENHANCED ORGANIZATIONAL SAFETY AND EFFICIENCY

The study focuses on the development and deployment of a Security Information Management System (SIMS) to enhance organizational safety and efficiency. It addresses the critical need for robust data security frameworks in modern organizations, emphasizing the protection of information integrity, availability, and confidentiality. Rooted in historical and evolving security paradigms, the research highlights the transition from traditional military-focused strategies to comprehensive approaches encompassing economic, environmental, and technological dimensions. Using the Object-Oriented System Development Methodology (OOSDM), the study designed and implemented a real-time SIMS integrating authentication and authorization processes. The proposed system features modular architecture comprising Web, Application, and Data tiers to ensure scalability, security, and efficiency. Advanced tools, such as encryption, intrusion detection systems, and login tracking, safeguard against cyber threats, including hacking and denial-of-service attacks. Rigorous testing of the system demonstrated its effectiveness in mitigating security risks, supporting decision-making with timely data access, and enhancing operational efficiency. The findings underscore the potential of SIMS to secure sensitive organizational data and recommend its adoption, training for security personnel, and regular updates for sustained functionality. This research contributes to advancing information security practices, particularly in dynamic operational environments.
