igitalization has become a new frontier of customer
Dexperience for enterprises, and customer information/data is
the most valuable asset of any company. There has been a
massive increase in the volume of data generated from both webs
and corporate operational systems in every enterprise. Cloud
Services are bringing new waves of productivity growth and
consumer surplus but also creating challenges related to data
security.
Conventional Security
Measures no Longer
Adequate in the
Era of Cloud
Usually, outsiders are restricted from getting access to Big Data
environments by conventional security at the borders of a private
network. But, with today’s advanced and sophisticated break-in
strategies, perimeter security is no longer adequate. Malware like
agent.btz and cryptolocker have proved the internet world that cyberattacks
now no longer originate solely out of geeks’ dormitories and,
as a result, organizations are now agreeing that defending their
businesses requires them to extend beyond their virtual perimeters.
However, with a motive to turn the tide, companies have started
outsourcing IT security to dedicate managed security service vendors
to help implement preventative measures. Utilizing tools and
hardening firewalls would not suffice, but companies have to take
steps beyond that.
A comprehensive security risk analysis is essential to identify the
risks to the network and apply an appropriate level of security
according to the risk levels. Risk assessment allows companies to
assess, determine and modify their overall security stance and to
enable security, operations, organizational management to
collaborate and view the entire organization from an attacker’s
perspective. This helps to maintain a practicable equilibrium
between security and required network access.
Security experts also believe that well-established corporations need
well-written security policies which assist in setting suitable
prospects regarding the use and administration of corporate IT
assets, set of rules established for employees and administrators and
requirements installed for system and management which together
ensures the security of an organization’s assets. After taking
necessary measures, companies should attempt to discover loopholes
in their network system and it's only possible with Network Security
Audits and Vulnerability assessments which can help keep
compliance programs on track.
