Systems Security: Not Just For Big Corporates

Thursday, April 6th, 2006

It is a fact that big companies have big reputations to protect and big budgets to spend doing it. It is also a fact that not all companies have the luxury of a full team of IT staff to ensure that their systems are properly secured.

Good security is set out in layers, designed to match each risk with the approriate measure. A typical systems security setup will consist of the following layers:

  • People - Security Aware
  • Policies - Set out rules and guidelines for the safe use of systems
  • Firewalls - Similar to a nightclub bouncer, the firewall maintains a list of who gets in (and out!)
  • Network Security - Controls who can connect and protects the data on the network
  • Access Controls - Controls who can access files, audits changes
  • PC Security - Up to date AntiVirus, AntiSpyware and Operating System patching provide protection for the data on your PC
  • Backup - Allows for the recovery of critical data in the event of failure

The Isle of Man Government has been active in promoting good security practices and has commissioned courses and awareness campaigns. But not all business owners have the time or the technical knowledge to perform a security assessment of their own. KDR EBusiness have recognised this and offer a fixed price service designed to bring the benefits of good systems security to IOM based businesses.
