The Biggest Security Threat
BBC News is reporting that the employees of a company pose the biggest threat to security.
“Digital cameras, MP3 players and handheld computers could be the tools that disgruntled UK employees use to sabotage computer systems or steal vital data, warn security experts. The removable memory cards inside the devices could be used to bring in software that looks for vulnerabilities on a company’s internal network. The innocent-looking devices could also be used to smuggle out confidential or sensitive information.”
For me this is not a new thing, in my own experience here in my present company, everyday is like a crusade in educating and implementing security to employees, and it is frustrating sometimes how slowly they are accepting issues like these.
