Protect your business

Customers need to protect their...

Commercial info
From theft, modification and fraud such as:
Intellectual property
Customer lists
Financial details
Internal systems
Against unauthorised use or misuse, and attacks that damage productivity such as:
Fileservers
Databases
Email servers
Company reputation
From the loss of customers and shareholders:
Confidence
Bad press
Libel

Companies must also meet their legal responsibilities regarding the security of their data, under the Data Protection Act (1998).

External threats

  • Viruses (worms and trojans)
  • Hackers seeking unauthorised access, committing fraud and compromising confidentiality
  • Denial-of-service (DOS) attacks
  • Employees sealing confidential information.

Internal threats

  • Employees accessing undesirable services
  • Running unauthorised software on the network
  • Employees transferring work documents insecurely via hotmail accounts.

The cost of security breaches

  • Viruses like 'I Love You', 'Melissa' and 'Anna Kournikova' caused far more financial loss and damage than the attacks of 9/11.
  • The 'Code Red' virus spread around the world infecting 800,000 servers in 18 hours, and costing $2.6 bn total in downtime and clean up.

Get the facts:

2004 DTI survey
72% of UK businesses received infected emails or files (83% of UK large businesses)
The average cost of an organisations most serious incident was £10,000
Among large businesses this figure was more like £120,000 (this includes: disruption to business, time spent responding to incident, direct financial loss and damage to reputation).
