 Data breaches are occurring with alarming frequency. Chances are very likely that you or one of your immediate family has a story of suffering from some form of identity theft.
We hear about some large corporation’s data systems being compromised almost every day. Huge companies such as TJ Maxx, Citigroup, Ameritrade, Fidelity National, Visa, Master-card and American Express have all fallen victim to hackers. The result has been that millions of individual’s personal and financial information has been exposed. The resulting losses can only be calculated in the billions of dollars of revenue. But that’s just a problem for large companies to worry about, right? WRONG! The reality is this. There is a thriving and mature underworld market willing to pay cash-on-the-barrel for the personal information contained in your business’ network. According to the latest Internet Security Report from Symantec Corp., the current black-market rate for a single individual’s data is between $14 and $18 dollars. So if your data network contains only a thousand clients’ or patients’ information, the payoff for stealing that data is much greater than the average liquor store robbery and the risk of arrest is far less. Security AssessmentThe cold fact is that nobody can absolutely guarantee that your computer network will not be compromised. Even if you were to disconnect your network completely from the Internet, there still exists a multitude of attack vectors. The reason for this is that nefarious groups or individuals have unlimited time and tools with which to use against a given network. Fortunately, T3 Technologies can help by performing a Security Assessment to identify your network’s vulnerabilities.
