Information and Communication Security

Security expert Bruce Schneier once said, “Information and Communication Security is a process, not a product.” This is absolutely true. Simply purchasing a firewall and hoping for the best is not enough. The understanding of computer crimes remains generally low in today’s connected businesses, which are often linked to networks designed without security in mind. Each company has its own unique computer system configurations and specific security needs, which must be addressed individually. Today’s security solutions are often add-ons, tacked onto systems as vulnerabilities become apparent. In such environments, it’s crucial to continuously manage and review information security needs. As companies grow and new components are added to their systems, these new parts may introduce potential security breaches, which, in combination with other system elements, could open up new vulnerabilities. The security process must be constantly reviewed, as the landscape of information security is always evolving. There is no easy fix for security. If you’ve opted for an off-the-shelf solution, you are likely already exposed to threats, without even realizing it.
