Insiders are the real threat
- IT TOPICS:Security
It can never be stressed enough that your own employees can be your worst enemies. One of the things I have been working on the past year is tightening up permissions and access controls inside our network.
This story tells us that an employee at Citibank obtained access to customer credit card accounts, raised the limit, and had a new card sent to her relatives.
Perimeter security is important. But as the saying goes, networks can be like M&M candies - hard on the outside and soft on the inside. Internal network security matters as much as external network security.
