Dealing with the Insider Threat
A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. The weakest point in your IT security is the people you have to trust with access to the core of your systems - technicians installing applications, fixing problems, issuing new passwords.
Lanxoma is software for people who know there are “bad guys” out there. It is for CIOs who have to know what’s happening at operating system level; it is for CFOs and auditors required to fulfill their compliance responsibilities; it is for CEOs with a need for confidence in the integrity and security of their company and its information.
You may have protected your applications, fire-walled your PCs and workstations, secured your network, but until you have deterred the “insider threat” your system is not secure and until you have digitally-signed evidence of system abuse, you don’t have much chance of sympathy from your customers, suppliers, staff, media, community... insurers, regulators or the law.”
With 70-80 percent of data security threats coming from the inside, Lanxoma acts as a deterrent and provides proof -- much like a CCTV camera in a bank.
In a nutshell Lanxoma gives your IT users controlled access to privileged systems. It deters abuse by recording every action during that access period. Management has the means to approve access -- and at the end of that access review in real-time precisely what IT workers did.
Insider threat is a reality, and unfortunately, companies are more vulnerable in the down economy. The risk of insider threat greatly increases during times when companies are laying off staff, cutting back on raises and bonuses, deferring promotions, consolidating operations, and outsourcing work to save money.
