Hackers Beware

What Are Companies Doing?

You cannot open a national newspaper without reading about a breach in security. It is interesting to remember that, even with all the talk about network security or lack of security, a large percentage of companies still do not report security breaches. There are two reasons for this. First, most companies do not want the bad publicity associated with reporting a breach. Second, and far more likely, most companies do not know when a breach has occured. If a perpetrator gains access to a system and compromises sensitive information without causing any disruption of service, chances are the company will not detect it. Most companies detect attacks that result in a disruption of service and/or negative attention.
