Cybersecurity Outside & Inside
The recent Sony, Target, and Anthem cyber attacks tend to draw those of us in the cyber security world to focus outward on the formidable external threats ever-present on the horizon in the information age of the 21st century.
Businesses not only need to be concerned with combating the external data security threat posed by hackers and intrusions, but considerable focus and resources should also be aimed at combating the internal threat as well.
Employees are in fact one of the biggest data security threats.

Strong data security policies, enforcement, and monitoring are essential to securing data from the inside threat.
