Systems Security: People should come first
The best systems security in the world will not work if your people can be tricked into revealing information to hackers. In the Security World this is known as Social Engineering.
Awareness of the risks should always be your first line of defence. Unfortunately the amount spent on security awareness training does not reflect the benefits that your business gains from a knowledgeable and security aware staff.
There are four points to consider:
- Do you know the risks that your company faces?
- How well trained are your staff? what is their current level of security awareness?
- Do you have policies in place that give your staff guidelines for usage, i.e., email, internet, etc.
- Do you have documented procedures in place for dealing with security issues
When planning Systems Security it is vital to consider your staff first. KDR E-Business can help you to plan and implement relevant, cost effective security for your business.
