Common Objections and Rationalisations: “Our production systems are completely isolated from outside access.” “Our system is secure because it would be impossible for an outsider to understand it.” “We’re not a likely target. We’re not important or interesting enough to attract hackers.” “We’ve never had a problem. There has been no intrusion or disruption in our production network.” “It hasn’t happened yet, so it seems unlikely. I don’t think it will happen.” “We can’t justify the expense and manpower.” Being Vulnerable is not your fault. Staying vulnerable definitely is... Cyber Security is much more than a matter of IT... Passwords are like underwear: Don’t let people see it, Don't leave them lying around and Change them regularly... It takes 20 years to build a reputation and few minutes of cyber-incident to ruin it.. Technology trust is a good thing, but control is a better one... No technology that’s connected to the Internet is unhackable. Social engineering bypasses all technologies, including firewalls. Phishing is a major problem because there really is no patch for human stupidity. If you think you know-it-all about cybersecurity, this discipline was probably ill-explained to you. My message to companies that think they haven’t been attacked is: ‘You’re not looking hard enough. Never underestimate the determination of a kid who is time-rich and cash-poor. Time is what determines security. With enough time nothing is unhackable. Data is the pollution problem of the information age, and protecting privacy is the environmental challenge.
