2.Privacy goes hand in hand with security, but many of the activities of information security analysts seem to be an invasion of privacy. Discuss how employers can justify the use of tools, such as Encase by Guidance Software.

Privacy and security do work in hand in hand and complement each other in ensuring information security .By privacy we mean data that should not be available to the public and is only privy to individuals or organizations that can be attributed to ownership or use of the data. Private data could be such things as documents, photos, emails or tax returns of a person. security on the other hand are measures taken both technological or otherwise to protect the data and only give access to who should have access to the data example the owner of the photos. More specifically, security on this sense measures or comprises how secure our data is from external and undesired/unauthorized access bordering on such things as terms of network security,hardware security or data security.

Now for a security analyst to be able to protect your data, there is need to have access to your data and be able to keep track of data stored and packet flow. This could be argued to contradict privacy of data but it can be concluded that the security analyst cannot protect your data if he is not able to scan and keep track of data and therefore have access to the data.

It therefore goes to say that there must be a balance between security and privacy as they are both complementary. Encase by Guidance Software is a good example of a security software that somewhat compromises security to achieve maximum security. It is known to permeate all private data of employees in organization in the bid to keep track and protect against any malicious attacks or illegal activity. In other words, while it may seem like it violates privacy, it balances it with full protection
