Anti-Hacking White Papers
See why internal attacks could pose a real danger to your organization
Overview
When companies talk about securing their enterprise, they tend to focus on external attacks, forgetting about the damage that insiders can cause. This chapter from Insider Threat: Protecting the Enterprise from Sabotage, Spying, and Theft provides a wakeup call for IT pros who might want to take a closer look at the potential for internal attacks.
Most organizations put more energy and effort against external threats than internal threats because the external ones are easier to control, they're better understood, and they're more visible. But internal attacks can be far more devastating, facilitating fraud, theft of intellectual property, or sabotage. This introductory chapter from Syngress' Insider Threat: Protecting the Enterprise from Sabotage, Spying, and Theft explains why so many companies fall prey to attacks from insiders, how serious the problem is, and what forms the threat is likely to take.
