Top-10 Priorities for Securing Your Environment
Here is a check list every
executive needs in place if they truly want to ensure business continuance and
confidentiality of data to today’s climate. It is no longer a question of if
your business will be attacked, but rather what will the impact be when it
does happen. The answer to that question is directly related to the choices you
made when determining your security program. The following key priorities and
how they should be implemented are critical to your success in fending off
deliberate and random hacking activity.
- Firewall; preferably managed and monitored 24x7
- IDS protection; preferably managed and monitored
24x7
- Anti Virus protection; on every desktop AND at
the perimeter.
- Email Filter; to stop Spam and prevent leakage of
important data
- Spyware Filter; to stop Spyware bogging down
systems & stealing data
- Web Content Filter; to stop employee abuse of the
Internet and bandwidth
- Security Patches; automatically managed and up to
date
- Acceptable Use Policy; written, published,
updated annually
- Periodic Internal & External Security Audits;
performed by a Third Party
- Event
Correlation; correlate the data from the above security protection devices.
Did you already know about these
priorities? Did you know the above items have become the
standards in “secure” environments? You can be certain that you will be asked
these questions by stockholders, Federal and State Regulators, the Corporate
Governance Committee, Auditors, Media, Employees and Management at all levels.
The time is now to manage these issues before your business is an attacked or a
random target of abuse and/or criminal theft.
If you are unfamiliar or need assistance regarding any of
these key issues, the experts at BAI Security can show you the most
cost-effective and comprehensive way to secure your environment.
