The Issue
People are the weakest
link in any security set up. In
recent times, the hacking community
has
recognized this, and resourceful
hackers use so called social
engineering techniques to obtain
information from unsuspecting
staff who are simply trying to
be helpful to apparently bona
fide
callers or visitors. This information
is then used as a platform for
launching an attack on the
network.
Security tools such as firewalls,
anti-virus software and encryption
tools can only go so far in
ensuring security. If staff
and management are not properly
trained in security issues,
the
investment made in expensive
security tools will be useless.
The Approach
Security needs to be viewed
as a total lifestyle within
an organization and like any
lifestyle, it requires explanation,
buy in, and constant reinforcement.
SafeComs are experts in IT security,
and we combine our technical
subject matter expertise with
a
refreshing ability to communicate
the underlying concepts to the
rest of humanity in a straightforward,
jargon busting manner. Our approach
to the subject is based on the
following key
principles:
|
People will
not follow policies or procedures
unless they understand and
relate to the reasons underlying
them |
|
Security only works if
there is a demonstrable
commitment to it from the
top of the organization |
|
IT Security is a fundamental
mainstream issue in todays
connected economy and
it relies on everyone doing
their bit |
