Robust security is especially important during tough economic times, when unhappy employees might be more inclined to launch malicious attacks or gain access to unauthorized information. Recent reports show that instances of attack are rising with employee discontent.
And a new report by The Identity Theft Resource Center (ITRC), a nonprofit organization that helps victims of identity theft resolve their cases, says data breaches increased dramatically in 2008.
Without strong security, the integrity of data and the reliability of systems and information are threatened. Customers and business partners might think twice about working with an organization that has repeated security breaches.
But keeping information and systems secure is an ongoing challenge. Threats and vulnerabilities keep changing and getting more sophisticated, and IT and security executives need to stay on top of the latest developments and address them, or their organizations will be at risk.
