Security Audits
When dealing with computer infrastructure, "security" is an extensive and crucial area that is often overlooked. Ignorance, inconvenience, and investment are oft-quoted reasons security takes a back seat to more visible functionality. However, the consequences of poor security can be vast, reaching all the way to your bottom line - and beyond!
External Threats
You may believe that your company is not at risk because it would be an unlikely target for an attack. Attacks, however, are most often not targeted at one particular organization, but are broadly executed to see what unauthorized access can be gained. Unfortunately, a goal of hackers is to be as destructive as possible; breaking into your company and deleting all your critical data is just another virtual trophy for them. When it comes to searching for a target, they are more likely to go after one that has obvious security holes as opposed to one that is locked down.
Internal Threats
No matter how sure you are of external access to your network, what about security issues arising inside your company? A recent study lists the highest security threat to a company is its employees. In companies of all sizes, employees are often given more access than is required. All it takes is a single unhappy employee and an enormous amount of damage can be done. On the flip side, though, draconian security measures within a corporate network will foster ill-will and limit technology adoption. A balance of policy and trust must be struck to ensure increased employee performance and return on technology investments.
