ABSTRACT:
An enormous threat exists within your own organization, on a poorly secured network, current and former employees can steal data and devices, access resources they are not authorized to use, and launch malicious attacks.
Here is a seven-point strategy for deterring insider network security breaches:
- Develop and enforce human resources policies that perform background checks, monitor employee behavior, and revoke network access upon termination of employment
- Establish and enforce strict security policies that define the "principle of least privilege" for each network user, giving access only to essential assets
- Conduct security posture assessments that identify exploitable vulnerabilities
- Implement a multilayer security architecture that reduces vulnerabilities and exploits
- Implant expertise
- Prepare for attack
- Periodically evaluate the effectiveness of your network security by conducting a penetration (pen) test, which simulates malicious hacker attacks. Have an impartial third party, such as a consultant, conduct the test
