People have been working on computers for more than 30
years. Corporate system networks have connected them, and later connected them
to the outside world. The Enterprises TV show reveals where most corporate
security breaches occur.
A recent survey by one of the giants in the IT industry
found that the most security breaches occur with human error. This means by
accident and not maliciously. Company
policies are implemented to prevent breaches, but human judgment can sometimes
breach that. Employees at every level of an organization can accidentally open
malware infected programs. Businesses are also at fault for not keeping up to
speed on new threats or spending enough money (if they have it) on tighter
network controls. Enterprises TV also notes that companies which have BYOD or
Bring-Your-Own-Device policies can also bring network security issues to the
forefront. Chances are better that those devices are better protected than the
ones companies provide.
Security breaches are becoming a more common reality today.
Hack attempts and attacks are planned and implemented by those who know what
they want to hit. Businesses of all sizes should take every affordable step to
protect all data. Commercial insurance companies are insisting companies adhere
to tighter security practices. And states are now requiring companies to
disclose when a cyber attack happens.
