Urge for implementation of Security Policies by IT Firms: Kaspersky
Kaspersky Lab has revealed details of its latest report which suggests that there is a need to implement security policies by organizations against the penetration of targeted cyber-attacks into the company’s corporate network. More importantly, it puts corporate network security at risk, jeopardizing critical data.
Over the last 3-4 years, both small businesses and world-famous companies have fallen victim to cybercriminals. To get access to their networks, the fraudsters often use social engineering techniques and exploit software vulnerabilities. Therefore, targeted attacks are the rapidly- developing trends in the field of cybersecurity.
"Unfortunately, there is currently no technology that can eliminate human error from corporate network security. However, reinforcing security policies with a few relevant technologies provides effective protection against targeted attacks by combating them at every stage – from the first attempt to exploit vulnerability to attempts to compromise the network," said Kirill Kruglov, Senior Research Developer, Kaspersky Lab.
The lab recommends system administrators and IT security specialists to use administrative measures to prevent any risk of infection due to careless users or lack of IT knowledge. This includes training users to work safely on their computers, introducing control over access rights and privileges, and scanning systems for vulnerabilities and unused network services.
