By: Concentrix Irrespective of size or sector, information is critical to the future success of a company. For the majority of organisations, all of their critical data is held either within a CRM or Accounts solution. However without the relevant processes in place the data is vulnerable to attack. Subsequently ensuring data is safe, is a “must”. Security risks are not a new threat to organisations, they have been around for a number of years. Traditionally the main type of threat was from viruses and spam, and these threats are still prevalent today. However the majority of organisations are aware of the external threats and have process in place to protect against them. It is the internal risks which are often not considered. Developments in technology have meant that the use of the internet and email are part of the daily routine for most organisations. And although businesses have existed for hundreds of years without either of these, the vast majority would now struggle to operate if they were not there. The internet and email have significantly enhanced the speed of communications, transactions and ultimately decisions. However they have also made organisations vulnerable to a whole new world of threats which they need to protect against. Although data is a companies most important asset the majority of companies do not have any type of process in place to ensure that it cannot be stolen or misused. However as a direct result of the technological developments in portable storage devices such as mobile phones, iPods and USB’s internal security threats are becoming increasingly more prevalent. Hardware, software and network security is now one of the biggest challenges organisations face. There are several different ways in which an organisation or individual can be attacked. Fortunately, advances in security product technology mean that they do not have to result in catastrophic consequences.
