Network Security – The Real Vulnerabilities
Scenario: You work in a business environment where you are at least partly responsible for the safety of the network. You have a firewall, protecting against viruses and spyware, and their teams are up to date with patches and security fixes. You sit there and think about the excellent work they have done to ensure that it will not be violated.
They have done what they think most people are the main flscimmie a secure network. The reason hithat is correct. What billsid other factors?
Have you thought about a social engineering attack? What about people who use their network on a daily basis? Are you ready for the attacks of these people?
Believe it or not, the weakest link in the security plan is the people who use its network. For most cases, users are unaware of how to detect and neutralize an attack by social engineering. What is to stop the Busqueda a user of a CD or DVD, so Refresh and working and opening files dee? This disc may be a spreadsheet or word processor, with a malicious macro embedded. Next thing you know, the network is.
This problem especially in an environment where a helpdesk staff to reset passwords phone words. There is nothing to stop a person who intends irrJuge arbitrage purposes in its network to call the help desk, as if a workerEmer and rich esta a password reset. Most organizations use a system to generate usernames, so it is very difficult to calculate.
Your organization must be strict policy to verify the identity of a user for a password can be done. A simple thing to do is to tableuda in person. Another approach that works, if your offices are geographically distant to eenbelhuis for a password reset. Therefore, everyone that works to support recognizes the voice of that person and know who is who he or she says.
Because an attacker to their Office to call for help? Simple, is the path of least resistance. N nebesoin to spend hours trying to break into a system where the physical system is easier to operate. The next time you see someone walk in the door behind you, and do not recognize, and stop to ask what they are and what we are. If so, a person whonot exist, time plupart, left as soon as possible. If the person, the more likely to det the name of the person you see.
I know that I'm crazy, huh? Then think about Kevin Mitnick. He is one of the most decorated of all time has cker. The U.S. government thought it could whistle into a phone call to a nuclear attack. Most of his hacking was fattoattraverso social engineering. If hizofísica through office visits or via the phone, which has some of the largest tour to date. If you want to know more about him his name in Google or read the two books he wrote.
It is why people try to dismiss these attacks. I assume that some network engineers are very proud to say that the network can be breached easily. Or is the fact that people feel nonnon are responsible for training their employees? Most of his serviceorganizacionescionesments and are not within the power of IT to promote safety. This is usually a problem for the building manager or facilities management. However, if you can train the staff the least you can prevent a breach of an individual or social engineering attacks.
