Securing the business critical information is the major concern that an organization is facing with the enormous growth in the internet. This paper explores the evolution of information security and the need for protecting the information from unauthorised access. This paper also explains how the information security problem increases with the development in the technology. The technological solutions for the security problem were also discussed with their current issues. This paper also suggests the design factors to be considered when developing an information security framework and presents the key issues that the researchers can focus on in this field.
