Cyber Network Security, what is this new form of job, why now, and what do doe sit do.
Well to put it plain and simple, they are there to protect you and your business against anyone destroying, deleting, stealing or even blackmailing you and your business by accessing your important and secret data and information that can cripple or destroy your business.
Gone are the days of having a rent a cop security guard standing by the door at night and watching for people climbing through your windows and physically stealing documents and or burning down your business, no the days have changed more ways than one and thus so must your security systems and Cyber Network Security (CNS) is the only way to go.
CHANGES ARE:
- PAPERLESS ENVIRONMENTS: with the era of the computer driving everything into a paperless environment, everything is in data from that is stored on databases, hard drives and servers and these can be accessed remotely or direct LAN lines
- SERVERS: with the space needed for data being so huge and businesses having branches not only countrywide but globally as well, servers are the telephones lines that give all employees access (or only certain employees depending on your rank in the company and clearance to information). This opens a whole new door for access by competitors hence the security requirements by CNS companies and employees and or specialists
- FIBRE OPTICS: with the advent of fibre optic lines running information globally at the speed of light, so to speak, criminals can be in and out within seconds and you are destroyed just as fast but CNS prevents this.
TYPES OF CRIMINALS CNS CAN PROTECT YOU AGAINST IS HACKERS (as explains in other article written) BUT ALSO BY YOUR VERY OWN EMPLOYEES CREATED BY THIS NEW FORM OF INDUSTRIAL ESPIONAGE:
- DISGRUNTLED EMPLOYEES: many companies have employees who are disgruntled in some way or other especially in the huge corporate businesses and for them to steal or destroy information and data that is important in your business is easy if they know-how and have access if they want to get back at the corporation for something the corporation has no control over most of the times, like an employee -employee relationship has gone wrong.
- BRIBED EMPLOYEES: if you have information and or data that might benefit or even knock your competitors out of the game, they might just use bribes on these disgruntled employees or find some employee that has a problem (financial, drugs, gambling debts, etc.) and bribe them to steal this data for their own use
