How Should Enterprises Prevent Commercial Espionage From Stealing Attacks?

It is widely rumored that an employee of 51Talk is going to be undercover at VIPABC company, and VIPABC is going to sue the employee.

At present, the two sides have not responded to this rumor.

In fact, "espionage" is not uncommon in business. A research survey shows that 75% of the data leakage incidents in the United States come from within the enterprise, and internal leakage has become the number one reason for the leakage of corporate data -- the harm of commercial espionage has begun to arouse people's attention.

It is sometimes not powerful for enterprises to fear.

Instead, the trade secrets became the cards in the other hand, which is the scary part of commercial espionage.

As early as the industrial age, codenamed 7X's Coca-Cola formula has adopted strict confidentiality measures to win over $80 billion of intangible assets for the company, and the theft of cloisonne enamel and Xuan paper technology has also brought incalculable losses to enterprises.

In today's information age, commercial espionage has no need to go to the extreme, and uses various means to visit the company's network and internal system.

At this stage,

The specific situations include the following forms:

1, steal the username and password, enter the internal network as a person's identity, and exercise their functions and powers.

2, privately view, carry, copy enterprise confidential information.

3, infect enterprise computer and network with malware or virus.

4, introduce spyware, keyloggers and other software to steal useful information.

No matter what is the above form, when an attacker takes refuge in a legal status, the defenseless enterprise has to look up and down and watch the important data leak.

"Information security should be deployed in the early stage, with a limited amount of input to get unlimited protection reward.

In fact, in today's expanding scale of information security deployment, commercial espionage threats are not unstoppable.

In addition to configuring traditional methods such as firewalls, enterprises can adopt multiple solutions to meet the needs of enterprises from different angles.

Demand.

We should ensure that at least two or more of the important information and business in the enterprise can be implemented concretely.

For example, an employee can be set up to start an important information or business, but other employees are authorized to perform functions.

This check mechanism can effectively prevent malicious behavior of malicious employees and commercial espionage.

Encrypting important data can ensure that even if a malicious attacker has successfully intercepted the data and carried it to the outside of the network, it can also ensure that the data is not viewed and stolen by displaying the garbled code.

For example, GFA EFS.

After deployment, permissions, such as read-only, modify, save, print, copy and paste contents, and screen copy recording can be set up.

That is, the enterprise establishes the account life cycle for the employees, and sets the corresponding permissions and access control.

For example, after deploying centralized security management system (GFA IAM), legitimate employees can get accounts after entering the office, enterprises can set corresponding permissions for employees, ensure core secret security; user behavior audit function can collect and record user access behavior, and facilitate the implementation of supervision; after pferring or leaving, IAM will react quickly, change and delete operations, thereby protecting the internal network security.

Of course, the above points are only the basic measures for enterprises to protect commercial espionage threats. Whether they are aimed at hackers or more professional business espionage, defense attacks need to rely on sound strategies and positive efforts of all parties.

Fortunately, most enterprises have paid attention to and actively carried out the internal system safety improvement, and gradually began to face up to and guard against stealing attacks including commercial spies.
