How to integrate these completely different technologies and data from them has become a key requirement. An ESI analyst said that these irrelevant data security technologies actually restricted the security analysis system from obtaining monitoring logs and reports, and lacked the necessary data management, analysis and planning capabilities. At present, many enterprises do adopt these independent security technologies. Because many independent products can't cooperate well, this is actually an obstacle to pursuing a complete enterprise information security system.
On the other hand, obtaining security information means more than collecting security logs. You also need to know where your sensitive data is and what its content is. On April 20 14, data leakage occurred in Dezhou Audit Bureau. About 3.5 million people's names, social security numbers and mailing addresses, as well as some people's birth dates and driver's license numbers were publicly leaked online. It is because of an unencrypted server of the Texas Audit Bureau that sensitive information collected by the databases of three government agencies in Texas was leaked for nearly a whole year. These three government agencies are Texas Teachers Retirement Center, Texas Labor Committee and Texas Employee Retirement System. It is said that several employees responsible for publishing data online violated the department's working procedures, the leak was revealed and they were fired. If you don't install a technical monitoring solution, it is of little significance to seriously implement the program. Employees can put database information in such a vulnerable danger, which proves how much risk will be brought to enterprises if the rules of the whole security system do not adopt "effective coercive means". Because of the spill, Texas is facing two class actions, one of which requires the state to pay a fine of $65,438+$0,000 to all affected people. Considering that this incident has affected millions of people, the cost is undoubtedly astronomical.
Therefore, a truly comprehensive security system should also consider the roles and responsibilities of the employees who execute the procedures. For example, if an employee has access to the actual customer data, then whether he will use his own work to obtain these data is a problem that has to be considered. Adopting a set of reasonable rules has become the key to prevent this. For example, enforcing "minimum permission" for employees who can get rid of customer data can effectively prevent employee data from leaking, because no matter who they are, they may get corporate data because of greed or other reasons.
To be sure, the business value driven by these data will definitely far exceed the cost of deploying a security system. It is obvious evidence that manufacturers make better business decisions by analyzing data. Just as business intelligence providers can make insurance companies use customer data to make better decisions through software, data security providers can also help enterprises protect their key data and make full use of these data to make the most favorable decisions, thus promoting the development of the whole enterprise.
