Content Security – A Real-Time Threat
In today's competitive day and age, the instantaneous or real time transfer of information has become an irreplaceable aspect of business. The use of an electronic mailing system represents the nervous system of a business as it facilitates the relaying of information and business decisions. We rely heavily on this technology to conduct business, keep in touch with loved ones and even shop online. The ease that this technology provides us has left us vulnerable to various threats and attacks.
Content security today is on the top pedestal of organizational security, data that flows to and from the organization has to be kept under a constant watch. The content security issues faced by organizations today include transmission of confidential data, protection against viruses and spam, encryption/data security, filtering content, improving network performance say Security experts at MicroWorld.
Techniques used today range from posing as a client or partner of the organisation to gain information, sending over harmful programs, links that lead to fictitious sites, etc. But the technique most synonymous with content security is sending of harmful or malicious content as an email attachment. Further perils can be created by exploiting Microsoft Outlook by embedding worms or viruses in the HTML mails. The harmful content when used with HTML mail does not need an attachment to be executed and take effect, opening such an email is enough to execute the malicious code.
Content Security though is not just restricted to emails, mobile data storage units predominantly USB flash drives also pose a great threat to data being lost. The fact that there is no particular way to keep them restricted to a single user or no personal password protection, makes them a prime target of data theft attacks. A user can carry any sort of data on a flash drive including private data like social security numbers, tax records, passport data, etc. Another way to dupe unsuspecting users of the internet is to forge sites, a recent example being the 'Brittany blog.' The blog was made as a source for security solution information. With content from vendors like Symantec and Trend Micro listed.
eScan and MailScan the two revolutionary, next-gen security solutions from MicroWorld that cater to a wide array of security related issues for desktops, servers and mailservers are based on technologies that focus on the strategy that prevention is better than a cure.
