OCD Security

* Does your backup work and is it secure?
* Are you protected from hackers?
* Are you protected from internal data theft?
* Is you Anti-Virus and Anti-Spam adequate?

Unfortunately, protecting your data, software and hardware from viruses, fraud and/or malicious acts is, now more than ever, a need and not just a concern. We have become so dependent on the technology nearly all of us use.

The bottom line is that a network is never 100-percent secure. However, businesses or individuals can ensure better security by using a logical and systematic approach that includes analysis, design, implementation and maintenance. As with most things, consideration of these items ahead of time is much easier than after something has happened and you are left holding your mouse!

An analysis shows you what is in place today and what you may require for tomorrow. If you do use the Internet, you may already have anti-virus software, a firewall and other protection in place. That is a good start, but it is only the beginning. The analysis phase requires that you thoroughly investigate your entire network—both software and hardware—from inside and outside. This helps to establish if there are or may be vulnerabilities. Some of the questions that need to be answered in this phase are:

* How difficult is it to break your passwords
* Is your email system safe? Does it block executable attachments?
* What ports are open on your networks that are used by hackers to gain access or for attacks? Are those ports used for legitimate purposes on your network?
* Is your remote access scheme secure?
* Do you use security monitoring and reporting to guard against intruders (both internal and external)?

If you have a firewall, does it integrate with your current network, your future network, your database structure, e-commerce, EDI and forensic information requirements? Is it reliable, scalable and maintainable? How effective will your current security plan be in a year or in three years? Will it scale with your business? Can it be upgraded and/or improved as new security hardware and software becomes available? And most important, who is responsible for the development, implementation, maintenance and monitoring of your network security?
