Cyber Security.

With the rise of acceptability and usage of Information Technology most of our data now resides in digital world and Information security is very critical aspect for today’s companies, institution, government and public sector. The companies’ data are vulnerable from external malicious attacks, through internal triggered data leakage and via information passed by emails or social network. As the concept of Bring your own devices to work place further catches up it is bringing new challenges for CXO’s at the work place. For Government as well the challenges are monitoring and securing their own Infrastructure at the same time with the evolution of social media, VOIP, Mobile etc which has many advantages but also possess potential treat and data monitoring is another aspect of Security surfacing. In future war would not be fought on battle field but in cyber world and cyber security is the most critical aspect, if a country targets top 10 Companies of a country and penetrate their IT infrastructure they can possibly bring down the economy, similarly different Government departments like Income tax, CBEC, EPFO, Defense etc are again very critical and cyber security has to be upmost priority. We recently had a case where Sony pictures in US was hacked by a Government of a country and Just last week Russian banks found out that their IT network for penetrated and around 2 billon per annum was transferred that exposed the Information Security vulnerability of these organizations. Information security not just requires right products like, HIPS, DLP, End Point protection, Control Compliance Suit, Encryption, MDM, Asset Management, and Patch Management etc but requires regular Audit and Monitoring. As we step in future we would have to manage legacy infrastructure with latest new and evolving technology and trends, Cloud commuting is inevitable and Organization would need to be ready to secure their Infrastructure from all possible threats.
