How safe are your IT assets?
Awareness of IT Security is growing as more businesses connect to the Internet. Our lives are becoming more dependent on Internet connectivity and the importance of ensuring a safe experience for our customers, suppliers and colleagues will continue to grow .
While the media seem to have an insatiable appetite for stories of viral havoc or credit card theft, this is only the tip of the iceberg. Many compromises are undetected and others are silently fixed. Only a very few make the headlines by which time it is too late as the damage has been done.
Governments and large corporations employ teams of experts to design, monitor and protect their systems but this level of protection comes at a price beyond the reach of a smaller venture.
A small organisation may believe it is safe from attack because "it has nothing valuable" on the internet. In reality the mere existence of an internet connected host is value enough. The bad guys may not want your data but they could always use your resources to attack others. Its a bit like stealing your car for use in a ram raid but in this case they can do the dirty deal right under you nose.
