Do you know what on your network?
The information security officer for a network of healthcare centres in New York found an employee sending confidential payroll information to a recruiter. A California-based semiconductor manufacturing technology provider caught a worker e-mailing PowerPoint slides detailing product plans to a former colleague at a competitor to show off the "cool things" he was working on. A network administrator for a school district in Indiana nabbed a student trying to finagle school lunch account information stored on an off-limits server. These are just some of the things you can learn when you take a good look at what goes on inside your network.
"Oh, you'd be surprised," says Mark Moroses, senior director of technical services and information security officer with Maimonides Medical Centre in Brooklyn, who found an employee instant-messaging payroll information to a recruiter.
