BCS South West - Turning IT Security Inside Out - February 2008
Channel: BCSSouthWest
Date: 02/10/2013

The IT security industry has typically wanted us to focus on the threat of hackers, spammers and other undesirables from distant countries that want to break through the corporate firewall and wreak all kinds of havoc. But just how accurate a picture is this -- or rather, how closely should we be scrutinising the actions of ourselves and our colleagues, to protect against not just malicious acts but also the potential for accidental damage? Against a background of organisations looking to remove, rather than build up their perimeters to enable better interworking with suppliers and customers, this presentation considers how to balance the risks of outsider damage whilst mitigating the threats from within.
