Internal threats to systems and data
Use of portable storage devices
Portable storage devices allow people
to steal large amounts of data very quickly.
Disabling access to USB ports or
removable media.
Logging who downloads which files,
when and from which terminals.
Preventing access to files which a user
doesn’t need.
Training users of the security
risks of removable media.
Visiting untrustworthy websites
Websites that are untrustworthy may be harmful or contain downloads which contain malware.
Unintentional disclosure of data
Unintentional disclosure of data can
happen when:
Too much or confidential information is
given to an employee or customer
Data stored on paper, hard disks or removable media is left on train and cars
computer security or encryption is not used or sufficient to stop a data breach occurring
Users overriding security control
Security controls prevent data and security
breaches. They have four categories:
Physical – fences, gates, locks
Technical – firewalls, settings, antivirus
Procedural – incident processes
Legal – laws
