Web 2.0 brings Threat 2.0. The web is changing fast from a one-way medium for ‘brochure-ware’ to a highly interactive, sophisticated and increasingly mission-critical platform. The new, ‘Web 2.0’ applications – from social networking to tagging, blogging and presence-aware services like IM – reflect the new web-enabled relationships forming between individuals and enterprises.
But each new development of the web brings with it a new species of parasite. Spyware, adware, keyloggers, blogspam and IM viruses seem to sprout up within days of any new trend. Clearly, it’s never been more important to protect your enterprise from the hazards of uninhibited browsing.
This short guide summarizes ten steps to web security. Do them all, and you’ll be better protected than 98% of enterprises out there. But the target never stands still. More than the steps listed here, it’s important to focus on the principles behind the steps, including: policy, vigilance, simplification, automation and transparency. Putting these principles into action starts with the steps listed here. |
