Internal user threat |
|
The threat posed by internal users of your network is often overlooked, but is the cause of most security breaches in the SME market. A recent study by GFI software (one of our security partners) has shown that less than half of the companies that were asked about security policies and for internal users drew a complete blank, most screened laptops for viruses before connection to the network but more than half then had no idea what was being copied to them. Another recent study has shown that 88% of staff who feel their job is under threat have either taken company data, or plan to take company data in the not to distant future. Securing your network from the threat within is critical as it's almost always overlooked. Employers generally have far too much trust in their employees and usually refuse to believe they would steal company data..... until they do. Employees with a little technical understanding (or a friend that could help them) could quite easily copy sensitive company data from most SMEs, and in most cases - the management would never even know they were doing it. Our security experts have been helping our customers secure their data for years, we've partnered with the market leaders in user security and can secure your network in a cost effective manner.
