Summit IT - The Small Business Specialists
Risk Reduction Audit
Once upon a time risks to Business Computing were so tiny that it WAS possible to ignore it...
Unless you were involved in activities that others might consider ethically dubious (or a school) then hackers were going to be interested in you. All that was needed was some kind of protection from hardware failures
Unfortunately many people still believe this...
If you are connected to the "net"
you ARE A TARGET!!!!
Spyware, Zombie Machines, Spammers, Power Brownouts, Worms, Trojans, Dialers, War Drivers, Phishing, Sober, Klez, Power Spikes, MSBlaster, Netsky ...
Check Current Threat Situation to see what is currently going on
With WLANs, ADSL, Fixed IP Addresses, always-on email systems and the current "connected" age it has never been easier. You might not be the target, but the hacker might want to use your systems to attack somebody else It happens
What would you do if Microsoft, or the US Government, two main targets decide to take legal action against your company, because somebody else wanted to get at them?
Modern Viruses & Spyware is often written by Organised Crime – they are after money, yours & your customers. Infection hands control of your computer and data over to the people who wrote the virus. Many viruses “report” back the fact your computer is infected
You still need strategies to protect from hardware failure
"The solutions are there. It is a matter of putting the appropriate defences in place"
The UK Maritime & Coastguard Agency was hit in 2004 by a virus called SASSER, the preventative fix had been available for some time but ... nobody had implemented it.
The Coastguards were left using Pen & Paper
Many others were caught by this virus, including British Airways and the Taiwanese Post Office, and saw messages on their screens counting down before shutting each PC down
"WHAT BUSINESS WOULD YOU HAVE WITHOUT THE INFORMATION STORED ON YOUR COMPUTERS?
… Can you afford to lose your data?"
