Preparing for the Inevitable: Data Security Measures
Your systems are secure, right? No hacker is going to breach your firewalls.
Your employees are honest and trustworthy. They wouldn't misuse the data that you
store, would they? Perhaps, but can you take that chance?
A 2008 study of data breach incidents over the last several years by the Verizon
Business RISK Team found that almost three-quarters of all incidents occurred from
external sources, that ninety percent of known vulnerabilities exploited by these
attacks had patches available for at least six months prior to the breach, and that
two-thirds involved data that the victim did not known was on its systems.
Often it seems that, when dealing with vulnerabilities in system security and
data breaches, it's not a matter of if it will happen, but when. Yet there are
steps that you can take to mitigate the risk of suffering a data breach, or the
risk of liability if you do suffer a breach. Click on this link to help
prepare for the inevitable data breach.
Is Your Identity At Risk?
In today’s world, you wouldn't think of going on the Internet without anti-virus software and a firewall to protect your computer. So why do so many people leave their identity unprotected? ID theft is the fastest growing crime in the United States according to the Federal Trade Commission. Now that there’s virtually universal access to your personal information, if you haven’t yet been the victim of ID theft it’s probably just a matter of time.
According to the FTC, millions of Americans have had their personal records compromised since 2005 – there were over 10 million victims of identity theft in 2007 alone. It is estimated that an identity is stolen every 3.5 seconds. In fact, your personal information may have already been compromised on the Internet, or stolen from a business, hospital, university, bank, or insurance company.
What most people don’t know is that once a criminal steals your identity, they can do a lot more than make fraudulent credit card purchases in your name. They can turn your life upside down and you won't even know it's happened until:
- You get calls from collection agencies for debts you never incurred
- You get bounced checks for accounts you never opened
- You get an eviction notice for an apartment you never rented
- You huge phone bills for accounts you don't recognize
- You get medical bills for procedures you've never had
- You are arrested for crimes you didn't commit
