Securing Information through Data Classification

Abstract

This paper explores the structured classification of information as a foundational element of information security, particularly within military and government systems. Using theoretical analysis and comparative review of access control mechanisms, the study identifies key strategies for mitigating data exposure risks. It distinguishes between subjective, objective, and technical information and analyzes their relevance to secure communication environments. The paper also discusses the evolution of access control post-9/11 and categorizes preventive, detective, and corrective security measures. Recommendations are proposed for policy development and implementation to enhance systemic resilience in the digital age. UDC: 004.056:004.67; JEL: O3.
