(43) Increase Your Organizational Reputation and Customer Satisfaction Through Professional Audits, Security and Client Privacy: A Manager's Guide

 

           K LUMPUR    l 14-15 November 2007

SINGAPORE  l 3-4 October 2007

Merchants, banks, credit unions, health care organizations and Internet connected organizations often need independent security audits to satisfy the requirements imposed by PCI Data Security Standards, GLBA, FDIC, NCUA, or HIPAA. With 94% of IT security risks coming from software, it is imperative that enterprises assess, measure, and manage their software risk.

Employees are recruited by companies to perform various tasks that help in running business successfully. Companies provide authorized access to their valuable assets to trustworthy employees. But, due to the value that assets contain, users have started breaching the trust of employers for different motives resulting in emergence of insider threats. Severe damages have resulted from the breaches causing concern to employers to address them. Regulatory requirements such as SOX have been established that mandate organizations to focus on internal controls to avoid financial fraud. Although, insider threat is a key issue but there are not many solutions to cure them. Employees causing threat belongs to different profiles. Some of them are technically skilled to carry out attacks while others don’t have any technical expertise but are still successful in breaching security.  Most of the companies are not pro-active when it comes to insider threats, leaving them helpless when they occur.

The purpose of this seminar is to provide a comprehensive overview of insider threats. It discusses different motives due to which employees carry out security breaches. It further examines various threats that exist to the employers and controls that should be used to mitigate them. Due to the variety of attacks carried out by insiders, there is no one solution available that can be deployed to tackle different aspects of the problem. Most of the solutions available today focus on avoiding external attacks. As a result, this seminar tries to come up with controls that should be practiced by the companies to address insider threats.
