Is your organization at risk?
According to Perimeter e-Security, the top security threats in 2009 include:
1. Malicious insiders, such as malware and exploited vulnerabilities
2. Social engineering
3. Careless employees
4. Reduced budgets
5. Remote workers and road warriors
6. Unstable third-party providers
7. Downloaded software, including open source and P2P files
By 2009, 44 states had passed legislation to guard against data breaches of non-public-facing information and to shift the responsibilities to businesses. Organizations that do not take proper precautions are subject to penalties and fines.
Bad guys work harder during recessions so your organization should, too. Being proactive significantly reduces your organization’s chance of defeat by an attack. It is also more cost-effective in the long run to stay current with industry threats and to institute preventive measures than it is to react to an attack and repair associated damages. These damages can include the loss of sensitive data, the money spent in reparations and your organization’s brand.
What is an information security health check?
Carolina Advanced Digital’s security consultants will visit your organization and review your security profile at a high level against current compliance requirements, technology frameworks (ITIL, COBIT, and ISO) and industry best practices.
In a roundtable format, we will interview key stakeholders from various aspects of the organization to compile information about enterprise architecture and governance, security policies, standards and procedures and risk management.
Within three days, our consultants will provide a health check report that assesses the organization’s security risk management and offers a tactical plan for addressing the observed deficiencies during the engagement.
