With the widespread popularity of interconnected technologies and information technologies, various network security challenges and threats have also overwhelmed enterprises. What are the network securities challenges facing companies? How should companies respond to these cybersecurity challenges?
Five common cybersecurity challenges:
1. Inadvertent human error
Such as security holes caused by improper operator security configuration, poor security awareness of users, careless selection of user passwords, and users’ arbitrary transfer of their accounts or sharing with others will pose a threat to network security.
2. Artificial malicious attacks
As we all know that with the help of Artificial intelligence Attackers from the inside often pose the greatest threat to internal network security and cause the most losses, so this part of the attackers should become the main target we want to prevent.
3. Vulnerabilities in network software
And “backdoor” network software cannot be 100% flawless and flawless. These flaws and flaws are precisely the preferred targets for hackers to attack. Most of the incidents in which hackers hacked into the network were due to the bitter consequences of imperfect security measures.
In addition, the “back door” of the software is set by the design and programming staff of the software company for convenience and is generally not known to outsiders, but once the “back door” is opened, the consequences will be unimaginable.
4. Unsafe factors of internet
International Internet networks span time and space, so security issues also span time and space. Although our country’s network is underdeveloped, the security risks we encounter are the same as those abroad. This is a serious problem. In different industries, the attacks suffered vary by industry and network service. In the telecommunications or ICP market, there are many attacks on service systems; in the banking industry, attacks on data systems are relatively more frequent; on the government side, attacks on services, especially its information release systems, are frequent.
5. Virus intrusion
At present, there are many types of network viruses. It is easy for viruses to enter servers inside the network through the Internet or other channels (such as through access points, daily maintenance operations, disks, and other external networks), causing network congestion, business interruption, and system crash.
The various new types of network viruses that are popular nowadays have integrated network worms, computer viruses, and Trojan horses into one, and have developed to integrate a variety of technologies into one, and use and coordinate with each other. The system itself is invincible. The destructiveness of the virus on the system data and the system itself will have a great impact.
Four principles that companies should follow from a management perspective when responding to cybersecurity challenges
1. Overall consideration, unified planning
Network security depends on the weakest link in the system. “A breakthrough, a breakthrough in the entire network”, a single system considering security issues cannot really guarantee security, it is necessary to establish network security architecture from the overall IT system level, overall consideration, and comprehensive protection.
2. Strategic priority, reasonable protection
Network security work should obey the overall strategy of the organization’s informatization construction, and realize the unification of the system security system in a rolling manner. Under this premise, the pursuit of appropriate security, reasonable protection of organizational information assets, security investment and asset value should match.
3. Centralized management and key protection
Coordinate the design of the overall security architecture, establish a standardized and orderly security management process, centrally manage the security issues of various systems, and avoid security “islands” and security “shortcomings”.
4. Management
Management is the core of enterprise network security, and technology is the guarantee of security management. Only when a complete set of rules and regulations, codes of conduct, and a reasonable combination of security technology are developed, can the security of the network system be guaranteed the most.
