Take stock of 10 misunderstandings of network security, how many have you been hit?

"

Under the dual challenges of network security situation and compliance, the formulation of network security strategy has become an important aspect of enterprise planning. However, many enterprises inevitably go into misunderstandings when formulating security policies.

Next, let's take an inventory of 10 misunderstandings in the formulation of network security strategies.

Myth 1: audit goes through the formality

Conduct a comprehensive security audit, but ignore the results, like "after the exam", you will be relieved if you pass the test.

Enterprise mantra: the following work will make up the gap and fill the gap.

Myth 2: deploy security tools, but no one manages them

Deploy many excellent security products, but only set them to automatic mode, and leave post-management or maintenance on the shelf.

Corporate mantra: that's enough.

Myth 3: dealing with Compliance

With the implementation of relevant network security laws and regulations, it is necessary for enterprises to meet grade protection and other related security compliance. However, in order to meet the compliance requirements, enterprises can only meet the minimum requirements of waiting for protection. Do not realize that the minimum compliance is far from enough.

Myth 4: pin your hopes on a security tool

How many companies are still stuck in firewalls, IDS/IPS and antivirus software? The era of the old three security tools is long over. It is either naive or ignorant to rely on a security product to prevent cyber attacks.

Corporate mantra: I hope nothing happens.

Misunderstanding that 5:IT personnel and security personnel quarrel with each other

Network security covers a wide range of areas, including technical scenarios such as hacker attacks, social engineering attacks, extortion software attacks or phishing email attacks on ordinary employees, as well as data leakage caused by internal employees. It involves many departments, not only the responsibility of security personnel, but also the cooperation of IT departments and even business departments.

Myth 6: fall into marketing and ignore the effect

At present, there are many network security products in the market, and the function homogenization is serious. Without knowing the technical background, enterprises believe too much in the boasting or superstitious product parameters of the sales staff, while ignoring the actual effect.

Corporate mantra: the product looks good.

Myth 7: keep the default security settings

See the strong security capability of the product, but only stay in the default security settings, unable to give full play to the real security capability of the product.

Corporate mantra: that's it.

Myth 8: obscurity will not be attacked

This kind of mentality is common in small businesses, and they always feel that the target is too small and worthless to be attacked.

Corporate mantra: no one notices us.

Misunderstanding 9: do not pay enough attention to security, there is a fluke in strategy

Feel that you will not be attacked, so continue to do more important things, focus on other things, the investment in network security is too little or even ignored. Or after a certain period of time is safe, begin to cut the security budget. Do not put network security at the height of the company's development strategy.

Myth # 10: pinning all hopes on online insurance

Feel that there is no need for safety investment, just buy insurance to OK, transfer risk is better than reduce risk. Of course, for the domestic market where online insurance is not yet popular, this misunderstanding does not seem to be common.

Corporate mantra: insurance will pay.

Conclusion:

Network security requires long-term strategic planning, but also requires the joint efforts of everyone, including security personnel, especially senior managers, and finally implemented in the real security capabilities.

I know you're watching.
