| With intellectual property
now fully translatable to digital ones and zeros,
it was only a matter of time before protecting
corporate information assets became a strategic
focus. In the past, security has been typically
relegated to the administrative and operational
agenda and accorded only marginal attention and
budget by many organizations. Most perceived
the threat to be containable, where a protect-the-perimeter
approach was deemed sufficient. Responses were
reactive, both to incidents and compliance requirements. |
|
| The corporate world is
changing – and not for the positive when
it comes to potential threats and losses. The
threat landscape has matured over the years owing
to propagation of technology, global networks
and the cleverness of criminals. According to
current 2009 FBI studies, cyber-crime – with
over $1 trillion in annual losses – has
outpaced drug trafficking as the largest illicit
global business.1 |
|
| The threats are typically
not limited to strangers lurking outside your
business facilities. People within an organization’s
trusted circle including employees, customers,
contractors and partners may present unnecessary
exposure, both through inadvertent mishandling
of information or corruption. This insider risk
is growing with the increased use of insecure
social media, phishing, spoofing, and inattention
to the monitoring of internal work areas and
perimeter surveillance. News reports are abundant
with employees being preyed upon by well-organized
cyber-criminals who thrive on stealing personal
and enterprise financial information. With the
front line for security and privacy moving inside
an organization’s walls (both cyber and
physical environments), a soft interior defense
is no longer tolerable. |
|
| The impacts of cyber and
physical security risks have also transformed.
No longer simply matters of fraud and theft,
the costs of responding to information breaches
can be overwhelming, including legal fees, customer
communications, public relations fees, and lost
intellectual property. Just as important, consumer
trust and the company’s brand and reputation
are at stake. |
