Information Security Services
Now, more than ever, security is a primary concern for any business to maintain daily operations. The number of security incidents appearing in the press, polled by Gartner, and reported by other media is daunting.
According to the July, 2008 issue of SC Magazine, there have been in excess of 227 million records involved in security breaches since 2005. That's nearly one incident for each person in the United States alone. Is it any wonder that 500 CIO's, when recently surveyed, responded about their organization's security as follows:
- 42% Do not consider their networks secure
- 32% Suffered a breach over the past 12 months
Many companies long ago adopted the "it won't happen here" mantra, others developed a policy - for which few enforce, and still fewer are those that have integrated a security policy as part of their corporate culture.
For most, it's not until you are directly involved in a security breach, or a breach strikes close to home - University of Dayton, LexisNexis, Antioch College - that we begin to take notice.
If you haven't experienced a breach - it's likely you will. Or, maybe you're just not aware that it's happened in your environment.
