Preparation is important when securing a remote office or branch office, but there’s nothing like the skills and experience gained from actually undergoing the experience. What are some of the lessons learned by those who have secured extensive branch office networks? In this podcast for Techtarget’s SearchSecurity.com, I talk with David O’Berry, an IT manager with the State of South Carolina, about what is involved in setting up remote office and branch office endpoint security experiences.
I would agree, failure to prepare then PREPARE to fail. It seems as though many businesses do not pay enough attention to their online element. There is not enough attention brought to the likes of sme’s and small start-ups on the need for the following:
Virtual Private Network
Security Auditing
Penetration Testing
Database Threat Monitoring
SOX Compliance
Log Management
There has been much posting about the need for internet awards. As such i think its down to webmasters to make business protection far more known and through the likes of an award it may be the way.
