Did you know:
85% of corporate and government agencies have detected intrusion in the
past 12 months!
70% of all stolen information is acquired by inside hackers!
36% of companies who had intrusions didn't report to the law enforcement!
Many companies remain unaware that they have had a security breach until
after the incident!
70% of all companies cite the internet as a frequent point of attach!
Here are some of the E-Business services CIR SECURITY offers:
Security Audits
CIR SECURITY does security audits for companies throughout
Montana. We check your security based on the National Security Agency's
"Orange Book Standards". Internal and external attacks are
applied to check vulnerability. Your security risks will
be found, analyzed and corrected.
HIPAA
CIR SECURITY specializes in the Federal HIPAA Security
Regulation Compliance. HIPAA was passed in 1996 and is intended to
ensure appropriate protection of confidential healthcare information.
Compliance with HIPAA is not optional, it is mandatory!
Data Flow Analysis
Most businesses move into the computer age in a hodge-podge
manner and never evaluate the flow of data in their organization. This
facilitates poor usage of computers, duplication of data entry and redundancy in
data storage. Yes, you can type a letter faster, but are you re-entering
the same data multiple times? CIR SECURITY diagram the flow of data in your
organization and recommend improvements. You receive a written report
indicating the flow and constrictions in the system, along with suggested
improvements.
External Network Intrusion Testing
Utilizing the same covert approach an external hacker would
use to gain entrance, CIR SECURITY locates and improves vulnerable areas in your
network. Tests are done at random intervals and reconciled with network
system intrusion records. Monthly, quarterly or one-time testing is
available to verify your network is safe from current attack methods. CIR SECURITY
checks over 600 different "hacks" to your site and help you close the
security holes.
Internal Network Intrusion Testing
70% of all stolen information is acquired by inside hackers
(employees). Locating potential problems and removing these avenues will
keep your sensitive information private. Verification of internal hacks
and support during prosecution are part of this service. Protect yourself
and your data from irate employees before your data is improperly accessed.
Network Security Implementation
Meeting new federal security requirements is a
challenge. Our job is to keep current on the latest regulations and the
latest hacking techniques. CIR SECURITY can bring your old network up to the current
standards demanded by your business. Not all businesses need the same
security level, most only need policy upgrades and procedural improvements to
meet standards. Let CIR SECURITY help you decide your level of security and training
that you and your staff need.
Incident Analysis
Many companies remain unaware that they have had a security
breach until after the incident. CIR SECURITY's services includes: reviewing of
logs, recovering of data and identifying parties involved, and invoking
corrective action if needed. Prevention is the best method, but
post-incident analysis and proper prosecution can reduce your security
threats. Our staff facilitates federal authorities in investigations and
is trained in the proper methods of computer forensics. If you think you
have been hacked, call and let CIR SECURITY help put a stop to your computer threats.
Overview of Internet Security
The Internet is not a single
network, but a worldwide collection of loosely connected networks that are
accessible by individual computers in a variety of ways, including
gateways, routers, dial-up connections, and Internet service providers (ISP). The
Internet is easily accessible to anyone with a computer and a network
connection. Individuals and organizations worldwide can reach any point on the
network without regard to national or geographic boundaries or time of day.
However, along with the convenience and easy access to information come new
risks. Among them are the risks that valuable information can be lost, stolen,
corrupted, or misused and that a computer systems can be corrupted. If
information is recorded electronically and is available on networked computers,
it is more vulnerable than if the same information is printed on paper and
locked in a file cabinet. Intruders can steal or tamper with information
without touching a piece of paper or entering an office or home, and
may not even be in the same country. They can create or destroy electronic files, run their own programs,
find your credit card number and read your e-mail, and hide evidence of their
unauthorized activity.
Basic Security Concepts
When information is read or copied by someone not authorized to do so, the
result is known as loss of confidentiality. For some types of
information, confidentiality is a very important. Examples include
research data, medical and insurance records, new product specifications, and
corporate investment strategies. In some situations, there may be a legal
obligation to protect the privacy of individuals. This is particularly true for
banks and loan companies; debt collectors; businesses that extend credit to
their customers or issue credit cards; hospitals, doctors' offices, and medical
testing laboratories; individuals or agencies that offer services such as
psychological counseling or drug treatment; and agencies that collect taxes.
Information can be corrupted when it is available on an insecure
network.
When information is modified in unexpected ways, the result is known as loss
of integrity. This means that unauthorized changes are made to information,
whether by human error or intentional tampering. Integrity is particularly
important for critical safety and financial data used for activities such as
electronic funds transfers, air traffic control, and financial accounting.
Information can be erased or become inaccessible, resulting in
loss of
availability. This means that people who are authorized to get information
cannot get what they need at critical times.
Availability is often the most important attribute in service-oriented
businesses that depend on information (e.g., medical records, airline schedules and online
inventory systems). Availability of the network itself is important to anyone
whose business or education relies on a network connection.
To make information available to those who need it and who can be trusted
with it, organizations use authentication and authorization. Authentication
is proving that a user is whom he or she claims to be. That proof may involve
something the user knows (such as a password), or something about the user that proves the person's
identity (such as a fingerprint). Authorization is the act of determining
whether a particular user (or computer system) has the right to carry out a
certain activity, such as reading a file or running a program. Authentication
and authorization go hand in hand. Users must be authenticated before carrying
out the activity they are authorized to perform. Security is strong when the
means of authentication cannot later be refuted - the user cannot later deny
that he or she performed the activity.
Why Care About Security?
It is remarkably easy to gain unauthorized access to information in an
insecure networked environment, and it is hard to catch the intruders. Even if
users have nothing stored on their computer that they consider important, that
computer can be a "the unlocked window", allowing unauthorized access to the
organization's systems and information.
Seemingly innocuous information can expose a computer system to
be compromised.
Information that intruders find useful includes which hardware and software are
being used, system configuration, type of network connections, phone numbers,
and access and authentication procedures. Security-related information can
enable unauthorized individuals to get access to important files and programs,
such as passwords, access control files and keys, personnel information, and
encryption algorithms, thus compromising the security of the system.
Judging from the
computer abuse reported in the media, no one on the Internet is immune,
including banks and financial companies, insurance companies, brokerage
houses, consultants, government contractors, government agencies, hospitals and
medical laboratories, network service providers, utility companies, the textile
business, universities, and wholesale and retail businesses.
The consequences of a break-in cover a range of possibilities
from a minor
loss of time in recovering from the problem, a decrease in productivity, a
significant loss of money or staff-hours, a devastating loss of credibility or
market opportunity, a business no longer able to compete, legal liability, and
yes, even the loss of life.
Don't wait! Stay ahead of the problem and protect
yourself and your business from these possibilities. Contact
