Security: Impact on Business |
|
Threats What do you think about when people talk about network security, viruses, and hackers? Most people think about this problem as related to the Internet. Where do the threats and risks come from? In reality, most of the more severe security challenges originate from inside your computer network; employees downloading programs, spy-ware, viruses, mal-ware, and other software from the Internet are real concerns. However, there is more to think about and many other challenges to overcome. Liabilities Did you know that individuals and businesses are getting caught up in legal action as the result of poorly secured computer systems? Many people think nothing of using business computers to download copyrighted content like music, movies, software and in some cases sexually explicit media. Over the last few years there have been many public examples of litigation due to copyright infringement. In some cases employees have been caught running complete businesses on company computer systems. Businesses you would not want associated with your company. |

Why Threats Will Increase - The realization that it is increasingly difficult to identify, catch, and prosecute offenders. This makes the utilization of Information Technology as a weapon an appealing delivery system;
- Competitors an enemies, both foreign and domestic, are becoming more technologically sophisticated;
- The minimal cost involved to carry out an attack, when weighed against the overall effect, creates a natural inclination to utilize technology as a tool to execute an individuals, competitors, foreign governments, or terrorist's agenda.
In fact, we recently interviewed a quasi-retired black-hat (by self admission) hacker who reviewed several of his last "jobs" with us. He was approached by foreign governments while performing legitimate security assessments and asked to steal confidential information and competitive information from other entities. After being offered large sums of money multiple times he finally gave in and performed the tasks they requested. This happens in governments and commercial entities quite frequently. |
