Encyclopedia of Internal Threats
Most of the media coverage and corporate focus related to digital threats is geared towards high-profile, externally-oriented ones. Vulnerabilities, exploits, worms, etc. are the main drivers for vendor solutions. However internal threats pose an equally and arguably greater threat because of low awareness.
Recently, insider threats, which have always been there, have been more widely reported, most recently with Countrywide’s disclosure related to the millions of stolen and compromised mortgage applicant records.
In response to this, PromiSEC, a leader in clientless solutions to enforce the security, compliance and integrity of endpoints and servers, has introduced a publicly available Internal Threat Encyclopedia.
This is a great idea!
Now there is a place to get reliable and up- to-date information on the many commonly used programs that create holes in your security or compliance environment.
What I like most about the PromiSEC product is that it is so easy to use and configure. Since it’s clientless, there’s no installs on PC’s. I’ve seen this product scan, identify and lock down hundreds of computers in less than 10 minutes. The ease in which it does this is amazing.
