PRESENT SITUATION

As the volume of financial and other data transactions increase over the Internet, the potential for harm from network threats also increases. As a consequence, complex security measures that were once required by only Fortune 500 companies such as regular security audits are increasingly a necessity even for the smallest of companies.

As we continue to become an ever more networked society, the financial benefits attainable by hacking a network increase. As a result, it should come as no surprise that the number of attacks and the creativity spent in trying to breach a network continue to increase. Consequently, those that are tasked with defending networks must continue to educate themselves and their workforce on the newest types of attacks and make the necessary preparations to prevent against them.
