What is the best way to plant rogue software inside an organisation? The prevalence of electronic devices is amazing. Stand in any city station during rush hour and you are guaranteed that at least 80% of the people walking by will have some device capable of plugging into a PC and downloading data.
But do you know how much of your company's data is walking out of the door with your staff?
Securing access to PC based data is now crucial, and maintaining end point security is a must have for all businesses. This reports explores how this can be achieved.
Many would take the email route, sending in an attractive looking Trojan file hoping that some user would open it up and spawn a virus or malware out break.
A good example of this was the “I LOVE YOU” email that appeared in May 2000. The title of the email alone made many people open it, and within a short period of time 45 million computers world wide were infected with its virus payload.
Fortunately this type of risk is being actively addressed by both user education and technology.
With the increasing amount of excellent spam protection software available most organisations are able to provide defence-in-depth from such attacks.
User education and awareness has also improved such that employees are generally less likely to open attachments than in the past, knowing that it may be malware.
