Not surprisingly, the world's largest and most successful companies are also the most threatened. Challenges from terrorists, organised crime, disgruntled employees, and opportunist interest groups will always cluster around the size, spread, and recognition of well-known companies, brands, and names.
In the US, the CIA and Microsoft vied for the unenviable #1 spot on aggressive hack-attacks for years. It is a boon to attackers to score victories against the known, not the unknown. That doesn't mean to say that the business success of Mom & Pop enterprise in Doomsdale, Arizona is safe in its relative anonymity, but it does mean that bigger, celebrity enterprises stand on the front line of sophisticated attention and attacks. This is where the principal action is, and where we primarily operate.
Notwithstanding the price of fame, or infamy as the attackers perceive it, whatever the size of your business, and whatever areas you operate in, there are two fundamental elements that affect what you do and your business success.
These are, the quality of the information you have to build and manage your business, and the quality of the people you work with, both inside and outside your operation.
Both these critical business success factors have enormous overlaps and dependencies, but as with anything that can be traded or exchanged, there will always be little gaps or weaknesses in the links and joints, which will be exploited by those able to identify them. For this reason alone, we believe that a third critical success factor has a role to play in helping your success - security management.
