The Issue
Hackers today target
all kinds of organizations small,
medium, large, public, private.
A major
recent survey by Ernst Young showed
that 64% of Australian organizations
had knowingly suffered
a systems attack within the previous
six months and a large number
of others admitted they could
well have been victims of hacking
but did not feel confident that
they would recognize an attack
even if it had occurred.
Unauthorized break-ins to corporate
and governmental networks are
no longer the stuff of Hollywood
movies they are a day-to-day
operational reality in contemporary
Australia. The
Consequences can include the
following:
|
Theft of valuable
information (business plans,
product development plans
etc.) |
|
Wrongful appropriation
of confidential information
(payroll, customer email
addresses etc.) |
|
Vandalizing (corruption
/ destruction) of critical
business data |
|
Public embarrassment through
defacing of your website |
|
Legal exposure to third
parties about whom you were
holding confidential information |
|
Damaging loss of reputation
as being a leaky or insecure
organization |
What To Do
Given that the risk of hacking
is now widely known and understood,
it is incumbent on all
Organizations to do something
about it as a matter of urgency.
Your organization has probably
taken some steps to implement
layers of security but how
do you know if they are effective?
The
best approach is to engage a
specialist IT security organization
to undertake Penetration Testing.
Penetration Testing is essentially
a structured process of attempting
to intrude on an organizations
network just as a hostile attacker
would. By simulating the approach
that a hacker would take, the
Penetration Testing process
will reveal the gaps in your
security that need to be addressed
before they can be exploited
by a real hostile attacker.
