No one likes to talk about network security. Some find it overly difficult. Others just don’t care. On Oct. 26th of this year, a series of hackers broke into the Microsoft internal network, tapping company secrets and vital proprietary information. This onslaught has caused an outbreak of concern for those with subpar security systems or no security at all. Believe it or not, some sort of a probe is sent into your business network on a daily or even hourly basis. Some are hacks, some aren’t. Microsoft spokesman Rick Miller states, “There are regular attempts at unauthorized entry into our network all the time.”
Within most businesses, however, most incidents like these go unreported due to the difficulty in tracking the culprits and the embarrassment of admitting vulnerability. Scary isn’t it? You might want to start caring now.
