Threats are rising as hacking becomes more profitable to data thieves. More than 90% of reported incidents take advantage of known network vulnerabilities and human error. Network vulnerabilities are rising with poor security software quality, increased connectivity and data mobility.
Legal and financial ramifications of noncompliance with State and Federal regulatory standards (such as SOX, HIPAA, GLBA, and others) are astounding. Private firms - most notably those in the Payment Card Industry (PCI) - are forcing obligation contracts with downstream suppliers and business partners to safeguard information. Expectations of due diligence and a growing body of legal precedent are driving firms to implement information governance programs.
Network security questions your organization should be asking:
Network Security Operations - Do we manage our information security program according to established best practices?
Compliance - Do our security practices comply with a specific regulatory program?
Data Privacy and Confidentiality - Are we doing the right things well enough to protect our data?
Incident Detection and Response - Do we have the visibility we need to detect and respond to threats as they occur? If our network was breached, how would we know?
Network and Host Vulnerability Management - Is our network implemented in a manner that keeps intruders out? Is vulnerability data current and readily available?
Penetration Risk - Could someone break into our network?
Network Security Awareness - Are our people knowledgeable about their role in the security program?
Web Applications - Are our web applications secure? And would we know if they were attacked?
If your organization can't answer these questions, you're already at risk.
