Todo o mundo Have you heard of Insider threat? For those unfamiliar with the term, the term is used to designate internal threats, that is, agents who collaborate so that a company is the target of cybercrime.
Despite being a delicate topic, it needs to be worked with the teams, since the collaborator who contributes to the problem does not always aim to harm the company. A simple carelessness during working hours, an open malicious email or a file sent to the wrong recipient can be enough to be an internal threat.
Below are some good practices against internal threats and what to do to avoid them.
Control access to information
A survey carried out by CA Technologies showed that 90% of organizations feel vulnerable to internal attacks, with the number of people with access to privileged information being listed as the main threat (37%).
Controlling the amount of access to official documents and reports is a way to reduce the chances of internal problems. The company must delegate access to a few and trusted employees. If it is necessary to share information with a large number of people, it is worth betting on documents protected with passwords.
Device care
Computers, cell phones and tablets are widely used in companies, and the greater the number of devices, the greater the chances of internal problems. Companies need to keep the following points in mind:
Use security software and secure networks to access the internet;
Make employees aware of Visual Hacking;
Create protocols for accessing information that are safe, especially for employees who use devices in different locations (such as salespeople, home offices or teams that travel a lot);
If the company adopts a BYOD system, it is necessary to certify that the devices used by the employee are safe. |
