Why care about Internal & External threats?

Why care about Internal & External threats?

Today, every network (LANs and WANs) now faces a diverse range of Internal and External security threats.

Unfortunately; many network administrators often underestimate internal security threats as compared to external threats; whereas both are equally critically important. In fact, recent studies, shows that up to 65% of network attacks originate from inside. With no effective security system in place, internal security lapses constitute a huge basis for major attacks by opening ways for more sophisticated external attacks.

Internal Threats

• Internal Network Abuse
• Malicious employees
• Engaging in inappropriate communications with other employees or other users connected to the Internet; IM Abuse (Yahoo. MSN, Google talk, Skype etc.)
• Access to unproductive Websites, Social and networking sites (Facebook, Nairaland, twitter etc.)
• Access to objectionable web sites – Pornography, Hates, Violence websites etc.
• General abuse of the internet resources - Sport, home video, news, games, jobs, religion, etc.
• Careless handling of malicious e-mail and web content by negligent employee - Risk of confidential corporate Data
• Etc..

External threats

• Intrusion
• Trusted non-employee - Contractors and strategic business partners.
• Ex-employees,
• Hackers,
• Organized crime syndicate,
• Competitors and
• Firms involved in espionage.
• Viruses , worms
• Spyware,
• Spam
• Malicious e-mail and websites
• Other hazardous internet attacks
• Etc.

Some of the Consequences…

• Huge exposure to internet attacks when malicious sites are visited or malicious mails read.
• Huge inappropriate network resource consumption – resulting in high bandwidth usage and costs
• Unprotected network allowing Spam to steal your time, your money and your bandwidth
• Wasting precious bandwidth, bringing about high bandwidth consumption.
• Poor network performance due to bandwidth wastages leading to congestions and bandwidth choke up.
• Increase in employee negligence and broken business processes
• Huge Employee productivity loss through time wasting on visiting non business related and unproductive websites - Social Networking/Music/Chat/Porn Websites
• Frequent network and other hardware breakdown due to various attack (virus, Trojan, warms etc...)
• Huge exposure of corporate privacy and confidentiality.
• Huge financial loss – man-hour wastage, bandwidth wastage, frequent network breakdown, data loss etc.
• Exposure to litigation through uncontrolled activities of a malicious, ignorant or careless employee.
• And many more..

The biggest risk

The biggest security risk faced today is that, in the attempt to effectively combat threats, the complexity of many the integrated security solutions is huge; which further complicate Network loopholes and open avenues to various malicious attacks.
