Insider threat to
corporate information security
Unauthorized access
to information resources by trusted insiders poses even greater threat to
corporate security than external attacks, as insiders typically have
legitimate reasons to access sensitive information, such as corporate data
and customer database.
Insiders
often possess information of substantial value as they may obtain access to
their employer’s information systems and find a way around existing
security measures through legitimate means. Insider activity might involve
such incidents as compromising, manipulating, exceeding authorized access
to, tampering with and even disabling company’s information resources,
workstation, or network.
In
many cases, security breaches require little technical sophistication:
trusted insiders often abuse company’s non-technical vulnerabilities, such
as business rules and organization policies, rather than vulnerabilities in
information systems and network. In this connection, it is essential for
corporate management to secure confidential information resources from
unauthorized access by employees at all levels. However, innovative
technology providing for data content analysis and intelligent monitoring,
may also be of great help.

Password
policy
Passwords
were first introduced in the 1960s to protect individual and organizational
information. Since then, the conception of a reliable password has become
much more elaborate. Password selection now plays a vital role in
information security.
To
protect your information against a potential attack, you need to implement a
strong password policy as part of information security strategy. Password
policy is a set of rules concerning accessibility, length, types, characters
and symbols of the password and the frequency it is changed.

protected files
Everyone
is aware of a wide range of potential risks associated with trusting
business-critical and confidential information to computer memory. The
files containing important information must be secure enough and
protected by a strong password. However, password-protected files are
often targeted by attackers. Once the password protected file is
disclosed, the risk to of the password interception is considerably
increased.
