Is your network secure? How do you know?

A recent PCWorld survey indicated that 63 percent of IT Professionals believe that security breeches can’t be prevented.

17% of Data Breeches occur form within an organization.
17% Resulted from privilege misuse.
83% resulted by Companies being targets of opportunity
92% of attacks were considered not highly difficult!

Most companies are not even aware that Data Theft has or is occurring.  In recent months we have all heard about how “XYZ” large corporation experienced a security breech, and how user information was compromised.  But what you don’t hear about is how frequently smaller company’s intellectual property and client data is compromised. According to A study conducted by the Verizon RISK Team with cooperation from the U.S. Secret Service and the Dutch High Tech Crime Unit.
“Criminals may be making a classic risk vs. reward decision and opting to “play it safe” in light of recent arrests and prosecutions following large-scale intrusions into Financial Services firms. Numerous smaller strikes on hotels, restaurants, and retailers represent a lower-risk alternative, and cyber-criminals may be taking greater advantage of that option.”
