Email-borne threats continue to evolve and have started to combine in new and dangerous ways. What is a business impact analysis (BIA)? It was recently reported that the worldwide market for IT security and business continuity products and services is growing twice as fast as overall IT industry. By 2006, this market is expected to surpass $150 billion (IDC, 2002). U.K. business security is under attack. From its early beginnings to the present day, insecure emails have consistently caused trouble for their senders and recipients in a variety of ways. Network and data security is evolving. IT qualifications and security certifications are becoming more and more important to both individuals and companies alike, especially important in this current politically turbulent climate. We often hear of prevention being better than cure. As the market for content security products and services continues to grow, it is interesting to compare and contrast the delivery of content security via ‘insourcing’ and outsourcing. Trust has always been one of the key elements in any business relationship. Here’s a question: how many non-work related emails do you send and receive every day from your office email address? In a post 9/11 environment, the terms business continuity and risk management are becoming common parlance within a wide range organizations. Every day, millions of dollars worth of proprietary enterprise data escapes the safe confines of corporate data centers and walks right out the front doors of the company. Far from being the ‘nice to have’ it was once thought to be, IT security has finally reached the level where it is viewed as an essential consideration for businesses today. If recent headlines about the Blaster worm sounded familiar, it was with good reason. Earlier this year, another worm was wreaking havoc on the internet, targeting a well-known Microsoft vulnerability. Despite remaining a core issue for IT managers, a recent study by the United Kingdom’s Department of Trade and Industry indicates that as many as 78 percent of the U.K. companies surveyed have experienced at least one malicious security incident, with 44 percent experiencing them within the last year (2002/2001). We all hanker for the opportunity to work less hours and avoid wasting time traveling to and from work. There is a computer security mantra which says that the basic issues to manage are “ports, passwords and patches”. The traditional “triple A’s” of access security, Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting, have been joined by a newcomer - Auditing. Like its predecessors, auditing is most effective when enforced, rather than being voluntary. With the growth of Instant Messaging and peer-to-peer (P2P) technologies, businesses are increasingly facing security and management challenges.
