Today’s Security Landscape
Looking at the challenges within IT security our clients have similar concerns. As web applications proliferate, network borders disappear and workers become increasingly mobile, how can you protect your information assets? Topping the list of concerns are;
- Cybercrime – targeted attacks, stealing data easily convertible to cash
- Malware – Loggers, backdoor & data capture code deliberately planted on weaker systems
- Workforce mobility – laptops, PDA’s and USB keys containing sensitive data are high risk
- Outsourcing & Cloud computing – Ability to manage 3rd parties containing sensitive data
- Data breaches – the business threat of a serious security breach impacting daily operations
Where are your risks?
For the vast majority risks are related to online systems. Exploits are typically web based coupled with poor remote access. Clients are vulnerable to SQL injections, exploiting default and weak passwords and poor access control. Security breaches often arise under the following scenarios;
- Where the exact assets and state of the assets are unknown
- Data unknowingly stored in weaker systems
- Forgotten or unknown external I.T connections
- Misuse of internal systems designed for remote access
- Poorly managed access to dataSecurity for the desktop to Data Centre
