The Security Team Perspective

Businesses are increasingly dependent on technology to automate processes in order to remain competitive and operate efficiently and effectively. However, these new opportunities create new risks and threats to your business. These risks not only originate from outside your organization, but also from within. According to the 2009 CSI/FBI Computer Crime and Security Survey, most reported security breaches are launched from trusted individuals hired by the organization.  A security breach to your organization’s computer systems may cause:

• Business disruption and unavailable services
• Leak of corporate and trade secrets
• Exposure of private customer data
• Financial penalties due to regulatory non-compliance
• Civil lawsuits
• Loss of client confidence

Regulators, shareholders, clients and business partners, as stakeholders, mandate that information systems must have adequate internal controls and are effectively addressing security challenges. Needless to say, a security breach can be very embarrassing and costly.
