Study
says: Majority of data breaches unnoticed
More
than half of the data breaches on hundreds of enterprise systems go
undetected and are caused by general negligence and lax security,
according to a
report by
Verizon Business revealed late last week.
Verizon's 2008 Verizon Business Data Breach Investigations Report
looked at some 500 cases between 2004 and 2007 where data were
breached, resulting in more than 230 million compromised records.
The
study revealed that 66 percent of the data breaches occurred due to
incompetence and weak system fortitude. At least 75 percent of
breaches evaded detection, with weeks, months and even years passing
between incursion and discovery in 63 percent of the cases studied.

What You Install On Your Server
 Download
warning: Watch what you install on your server.
Today's server
operating systems, including Microsoft Small Business Server 2003,
are so user-friendly that you could be left with the impression that
anyone with the ability to put a CD into a computer disk drive could
successfully deploy a new application. That is the wrong impression.
When it comes to adding
any new software — and particularly third-party applications — you

over again.
Missteps,
miscalculations and outright duds are unfortunate, yet ever-present

powerhouse and a perennial cellar dweller are chronic mistakes —
those repeated and overlooked blunders.
Here are five
persistent pitfalls that may apply to you and your business, along
with steps to purge them.
