SC Magazine - The weakest link
March 12, 2009
In March’s edition of SC Magazine Ken munro, Director of penetration
and security testing company, NCC Group Secure Test, commented on how
the best laid plans of security professionals can be thrown into chaos
by the acts of individual users.
“If a business trades with a
domestic end user that has their identity and credit card data stolen,
it is often the business that gets the blame, evenif it was the home
user’s PC that was compromised.”
“Complex security systems are
essential in this day and age, but confusing security systems will
cause more harm than good. Maybe its time to take a proactive role;
perhaps we should be helping our friends and relatives to keep their
PCs secured, rather than reacting to the aftermath of them
misconfiguring their PC security?”
