Playing a dangerous game: pass-the-password
We all know how hopeless cards, PINs and passwords (CPPs) are in terms of security.
They get stolen, we share them, scribble them on stickies, pop them into our phones and even keep them on spreadsheets. And managing CPPs is time-consuming, costly and frustrating.
But more importantly, they leave the door wide open for insider crime.
The enemy within: insiders are the biggest threat
Economic crime within the workplace is on the increase. And most of it is committed by insiders.
In South Africa, a 2009 survey found that 62% of economic crime was committed by insiders, 60% of companies were damaged by it in the previous 12 months and 29% believe they will be hit in the future.
How do you stop it? Replace CPPs with fingerprints
Clean-up the password mess with the SuperSign password replacement solution:
· People no longer need to remember passwords, write them down, share them or have them stolen
· Our software protects most applications - web included - without custom scripting or development
SuperSign won’t close all the insider loopholes.
But it is a giant leap forward in protecting your IT systems from insider crime.
What do insiders use to commit their crimes?
Because it’s so simple, most of the time they use passwords:
· Their own passwords on un-monitored, un-audited systems
· Co-workers’ passwords
· Passwords from contractors, partners and training programmes
Just how damaging can insiders be?
Well, the sky’s the limit. But typically, the common dangers include:
· Fraudulent EFT payments
· Modifying billing and procurement data
· Theft of sensitive information on customers, pricing, M&A, cutbacks, alliances and R&D
· Corruption and deletion of data
· Costs of downtime, recovery and restoration
Why do insiders do it? Hard cash, mostly …
For the insider, financial gain is the number one incentive
Our co-workers and commercial partners - insiders - steal data and sell it to others. They also modify data to enrich themselves, their families and friends. And they’re often bribed by outsiders to change data.
But it’s not always about money: data vandalism or IT sabotage is widespread and on the rise.
What does insider fraud cost you? Hard cash, mostly …
But it does hurt elsewhere. And it can hurt a lot.
Your competitive advantage can go down the drain with leaks about pricing, margins and customers. What if the workforce finds out tomorrow that you’re thinking of moving production to China in two years?
That intended merger can go seriously pear shaped if other people hear about your plans. And press coverage of breaches, losses and vandalism can finish your credibility with stakeholders.
Whose job is it to introduce SuperSign?
To combat IT-based fraud, CEOs typically need to co-ordinate all areas where data is being created, accessed and distributed.
And to make everyone’s life easier, SuperSign links with most applications - web included - without custom scripting or development. This means rapid deployment and a fast-track to powerful IT protection.
