The article discusses how collaboration can improve security management in organizations. It identifies four key aspects of information security: malware threats, perimeter protection, exploiting vulnerabilities, and detecting vulnerabilities. By conducting experiments on malware protection, the need for better protection systems through standardization and collaboration is highlighted. The article introduces indicators to measure security levels based on these aspects, showing the benefits of collaboration in managing information security. A qualitative indicator is developed using the four security aspects discussed in the paper.
