Your company is under attack and you are probably not that well prepared for it. Sure, you might have invested in technologies that promise to stop the threats at the door, but what good are they if your employees invite them in?

Not sure if you are at risk? Here's some examples...

  • A company settled for $1 million dollars for having MP3s on their company's servers that an employee downloaded and stored there.


  • A bookkeeper working at a law firm transferred $2.1 million from the firm's bank accounts to fund an "advance fee" scam.


  • A $2 billion dollar a year food processing company had it's network down for two weeks, due to an employee letting spyware infest their workstation, forcing them to have employees work through dial-up connections just to get payroll done.


Today's IT departments are spending numerous hours fighting back an onslaught of tireless threats. Hackers, scammers, viruses, spyware, etc. are pervasive, cunning and work around the technologies that you put in place. Beyond that, there are threats from within. Employees that send around "joke" e-mails with offensive or obscene content, download music or video into your network, install illegal copies of software on their desktops could all lead to legal fees and settlement claims that could put a huge dent in your budget.

Technology alone can't stop this from happening. It's just a part of what needs to be your overall strategy to security. Until you instill a Security Mentality across your entire company, you will continue to be at a high risk of exposure to these threats.
