Information Security Policy Implementation Assessment in Libyan Telecommunications Companies

Abstract

The telecommunications industry is a critical infrastructure that is essential for the functioning of modern society. It is also a lucrative target for cyber attacks. A successful attack on a telecommunications network could potentially expose the information of millions of customers. This study focuses on the information security policy of telecommunications companies in Libya. The study aims to assess the hypothetical risks of implementing an information security policy, as well as to examine the vulnerabilities and effectiveness of such a policy. The interview technique was selected to collect data and conduct the necessary analysis to verify the existence of any gaps. The study found that several vulnerabilities exist in telecommunications information security policies. It is therefore important for telecommunications companies to take steps to mitigate these vulnerabilities and protect their networks from cyberattacks. Overall, the study provides valuable insights into the importance of information security in the telecommunications industry. The study findings can help telecommunications companies to develop and implement effective information security policies that can help to protect their networks from cyber attacks.
