Four myths about protecting your data
IT administrators may be the first line of defence against hackers eager to tap into companies’ networks. But even they may have some inaccurate beliefs about how hackers operate – and those can have frightening consequences for their businesses’ data.
U.S.-based company Firemon LLC, which provides security solutions for IT administration held a webinar on Wednesday, aiming to debunk the myths behind data breaches.
One of the key things is to consider who might be targeting your business, said Tim Woods, Firemon’s vice-president of customer technical services. “You need to ask, who wants what I have?” said Woods, speaking from a webinar on Wednesday. He added it’s important to accept IT administrators and hackers are locked into an adversarial mindset, and that IT administrations need to learn to think like hackers if they want to protect their business’ data.
