According to Forrester Research, there will be 14 billion devices on the Internet by 2010. These interconnection paths are potentially susceptible to access by unauthorized individuals. Failure to install the latest security patches is a leading cause of security breaches and worm infections. Ninety percent of the CSI/FBI survey’s respondents detected computer security breaches in 2002. Of those security breaches, 95 percent occurred because of poor system configuration.
By simply keeping your system patching up to date, you can avoid intrusion. Improving security means improving systems management. Consistent, repeatable processes, reliable auditing and reporting against policy, and effective change control can drastically reduce the level of uncertainty and risk throughout the IT infrastructure. And, as the security trends discussed previously indicate, an effective security management strategy must ensure that software remains up-to-date and as fully protected as possible from worms, viruses, and other information security breaches.
AKATI Consulting, through a variety of security initiatives, offers products, resources, prescriptive guidance, training, and partners, designed to help customers keep their IT infrastructures healthy and to enjoy the benefits and peace of mind of a secure computing environment. An appropriate framework is put in place to enable an organisation to deploy patches regularly and effectively without adversely impacting the operating environment.
