Changing Purposes and Methods of Security Threats

Recently, there has been a definite change in the security threats that have been attacking organizations. In the past, threats such as DDoS have directly affected service operations. Recently, there is only a trace of evidence that files are stolen but the threats do not negatively affect the service operation.

The threats have been producing many questions:
1) Why did they target the service?
2) What is their purpose, for political or commercial reasons?
3) What is the country of origin?

We know for sure that former attacks led by black hat hackers crippled only the service operations. These people continuously have collected important information and organized with groups who have malicious intentions towards organizations and bureaucracies, we do not know when they will use the information and what their purpose is. Hence, many organizations are concerned about the secondary damages.

Relatively Weak File Transfers

All different kinds of security solutions have already been introduced and have been used to protect against
1) direct attacks
2) detect and treat malignant codes and viruses
3) protect document and database, etc.

Except the file transfer area, IT security has been continuously strengthening. Thus, more security threats are present because the file transfer area can be exploited easier than other IT areas.

Transfer Business Files over Wireless Networks

Many people use laptops and wireless networks in order to work, however in-house security can never protect file transfers. Although wireless networks have security issues when executing file transfers, wired networks experience the same threats. In addition, if companies exchange files daily, they definitely need file transfer security solutions.

Increasing Security Threat Situations

Security attacks have grown more sophisticated over time. Year by year the number and scale of attacks have been increasing. Attack methods are also more intelligent with the improvement of security solutions. Recently due to organized domestic attacks as well as attacks from emerging countries, whole threat situations have been rapidly increasing.
