Although businesses
are reporting they are more secure at dealing with threats
from external sources, it is widely acknowledged that
theft of data and legal compliance are the two primary
threats to a company’s overall security.
The number one hazard is the insider threat, far outweighing
the actual and perceived risks from viruses and general
IT security. Companies may be more proficient in blocking
unwanted Internet and Network traffic, but the human
factor has advanced. It now means CDROMS, USB sticks,
Bluetooth phones, MP3 players and other mobile devices
enter the workplace daily, and many companies are
devastatingly unprepared.
When you consider the potential effects on reputation,
shareholders and even international regulations, as
well as legal compliance issues, it is no surprise that
successful companies are those with a full respect for
these areas of vulnerability.
QT&C can help identify, minimise and deliver a working
security policy that is specific to your area of business.
It is not advisable or even necessary to wait until
you are targeted before taking action. A proactive approach
can pay significant dividends.
Summary
Regardless of application, it is the education and training
available from QT&C - along with the subsequent
raised awareness - that directly combats the threats
to any organisation.
