Analysis of information security risks in the information system of the textile industry of Eritrea
To date, numerous attempts have been made to classify threats to information security, especially in the industrial sphere. However, there are still many unknown risks that may threaten the safety of the textile industry and its resources. The purpose of this study was to assess the risks threatening information security in the textile industry located in one of the central cities of Eritrea. This study was completed in 2021. Its participants were IT managers and risk management experts working in the textile industry (n = 15). Risk identifications were collected through questionnaires and interviews consisting of a number of questions using methods of qualitative and quantitative risk analysis. Risk analysis is one of the key stages of the risk management process: identification of risks, identification and assessment of all possible risks. The results showed that among the risks of information security, physical equipment: A2 are in a state of Threat with power outages, which is a risk factor with a high probability; Human resource management: A5 (Personnel) who are in a state of illness is a risk factor of low impact with a low probability. Elements of high probability risk require immediate corrective actions. As a result, before experiencing negative consequences, the main sources of such dangers should be recognized and controlled. It is also worth noting that information security in textile industrial systems should be considered within the framework of primary interests and policies at the global level.
