Computer Security - A Growing Market

In recent years, there has been heightened attention to computer security in the workplace. The Internet, Intranets, electronic commerce, remote access and other popular technologies have brought computer security to the forefront of people's minds. The issue of protecting important electronic information has rarely received such intense focus. While firewalls, encryption and other technologies have been making some headway in addressing external security threats, many gaps exist internally within an organization.

Internal security breaches occur far more frequently than most companies realize or are willing to admit. But security experts report that internal breaches present a much greater threat than external attacks on an organization's information resources. A recent Computer Security Institute/FBI study found that 64% of respondents reported unauthorized insider access within the previous 12 months with the average loss reported at almost 3 million dollars. Additionally, the IS Audit and Control Journal reported that 90 percent of computer theft involves people within an organization.

Awareness to the problem is increasing. However, one of the biggest hurdles to implementing security policies is user compliance. Users either resist internal security measures altogether because they are too intrusive, or they are not always as vigilant as they need to be. This has left many organizations in a quandary about how to devise a security policy that is both easy to implement and convenient to use.
