Not Even Your It Guy Thinks Youre Safe

According to a very interesting study by remote authentication provider FoneFactor

, Inc., 84.4 per cent of IT employees think its possible for a hacker to gain access to the corporate security networks theyve built. Additionally, 23.1 per cent are certain of it.

What does that mean for your business?

Well, if you had your network security set up a while ago and have just been trusting in its ability to protect your data ever since, it means your network may be infected. 55.4 per cent of IT professionals agree that accidentally downloading malware like root kits, which enables and hides continued hacker access to your system, are the most common threat. But, you dont even have to accidentally download a virus to put your network at risk. Even things like accessing company resources from a personal device or remote networks access can threaten your entire network.

When 57.7 per cent of IT Professionals say they would not bet any amount of money on their network not being compromised in the next 12 months, its clear you need to do more than simply have network security.

What can you do?

At SCIA weve found that in addition to having up-to-date network security, you need to do regular sweeps of your system that go beyond simply running your antivirus program. In fact, the best way to keep your network safe has very little to do with technology.

Its about getting the right people to regularly sweep your network. The Internet espionage industry is ever-changing and this presents a threat to static security systems. A qualified counter-surveillance team knows what the latest attacks are, and they can check if they are affecting you. If so, they will eliminate them and make sure they dont come back.

To keep your network safe you need to reintroduce the human element, so hire an Internet security specialist to physically check the integrity of your companys network.
