Address human vulnerabilities with this essential guide - Practical
advice from an acknowledged expert - endorsed by BT! Your business
information is likely to be much more valuable than the hardware on
which it is stored. The loss of a laptop might set you back GBP400, but
if the files on the laptop included sensitive customer data or the
blueprint for a new product, the cost of repairing the damage would run
into thousands. The consequences of a data breach range from alienating
customers to heavy fines, or even criminal prosecution. While
technologies, such as antivirus software and encryption, can offer some
protection against cybercrime, security breaches are most often the
result of human error and carelessness. Improve information security
Improving information security within your organisation, therefore, has
to encompass people and processes, as well as technology. Motivating
your team and making them more aware of security concerns should be at
the heart of your information security strategy. At the same time, the
processes you have in place to address information security issues need
to be straightforward and properly understood if you want your employees
to adhere to them. BT's approach This pocket guide is based on the
approach used by BT to protect its own data security - one that draws on
the capabilities of both people and technology. The guide will prove
invaluable for IT managers, information security officers and business
executives.
