I’m sure you’ve heard the saying "When it rains, it pours," meaning when things go wrong, they REALLY go wrong. With the floods in Northeastern US, Northern California and the flash flooding in the UK, I think we’ve had our share of weather. I’m starting to get flooded now in a different way, as I’m sure you are too, with news about the latest attacks in our industry and against our clients. I hope this message is not finding you or your organization too unprepared.
This month in Volume 14, with the rising popularity of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD), we thought it was appropriate to discuss this up and coming activity.
As we continue our efforts to educate on the need to address cyber security, the details that rise to the top are consistent. All successful Security Solutions are part of an overall program that addresses who will manage, maintain, and upgrade the solution for its lifetime. We find too many firewalls that no one has looked at since it was installed or so many holes are punched through it, you might as well not have it in place. The message is, consider what the needs are, develop a program, THEN determine the technical controls. I know the geek in all of us makes us want to jump to the technology first.
