New Cybersecurity Trends In 2014 - Compliance To IT Risk Management

By Kamil Samara


One trend that seems to be on the move in regard to cybersecurity has to do with IT risk management. Although there will always be risks involved when doing anything on the Internet, when you are working with large corporations, there are always going to be areas where infiltration as possible. It is difficult to control every aspect of your company, every computer that you own, and the employees that you employ.



Although these services are relatively new, they are slowly becoming more vulnerable to would-be hackers that are able to infiltrate their systems. As with anything, it all comes down to user names and passwords that are virtually undetectable, even using expensive and innovative hacking software. Let's look at how you can prevent cloud service provider hacks in 2014.

Why Proactive Monitoring Must Replace Static Protection Systems

So you're thinking about getting storage with a cloud service provider? Before you do so, you will want to evaluate their security system. They should have a good reputation online for providing not only exceptional service, but should have a state of the art set up which prevents hackers from getting in.

But when you're dealing with large corporations, especially if there are a multitude of remote facilities, you may run into severe difficulties when trying to manage your risks. That's why larger companies are now moving from compliance to IT risk management in order to limit the ability of hackers, or even employees, from infiltrating their systems unexpectedly.

Essentially, what you will need to do is have a specific group of people with the ability to access your system making sure that every aspect of your company is properly protected. By giving this responsibility to a core group, you can rely upon their experience and knowledge to make sure everything is safe.
