In light of recent high-level national security leaks Telx advises on how to protect and encrypt data.
MIAMI FL (March 12 2015) With recent revelations showing that the personal accounts of our national leaders are just as vulnerable to compromise as anyone else it is now more important than ever to make cybersecurity a top priority.
Although it is easy to think that the personal password replete with a simple alpha-numeric key is all that is necessary to protect our information Alex McGeorge senior security researcher at Immunity Inc suggests otherwise; “The question is whether she [Clinton] could have developed an email system that would withstand sophisticated cyberattacks.”
Classified government information is extremely valuable in the right hands. Thus top level hacker organizations attack servers around the clock for the chance at access. Though most security experts agree that getting an attack is fairly common what is more important is whether hackers can succeed in breaching the data or not. The difference between success or failure in this endeavor is related to the dedicated (or not) security team of that network.
With the continuously increasing incentive for cybercriminals to launch attacks on networks it has become imperative to have the right security team in place. “America’s economic prosperity national security and our individual liberties depend on our commitment to securing cyberspace and maintaining an open interoperable secure and reliable Internet. Our critical infrastructure continues to be at risk from threats in cyberspace and our economy is harmed by the theft of our intellectual property. Although the threats are serious and they constantly evolve I believe that if we address them effectively we can ensure that the Internet remains an engine for economic growth and a platform for the free exchange of ideas” – President Obama.
Failure to pay attention to network security can cause significant damages to a company resulting in loss of revenue business opportunities reputation or credibility. The US National Intelligence Council agrees that data encryption is the “best defense” for computer users to protect their data. Part of Edward Snowden’s cache of documents that he released contained a report highlighting the importance of encryption “We assess with high confidence that security best practices applied to target networks would prevent the vast majority of intrusions” it concluded.
