Technology Solutions Made Simple

Businesses take Internet security for granted. Hackers and phishing tools abound and we've seen exponential growth over the last few years. It's important to understand that in the game of Internet security one cannot simply say "what's the best firewall?" There are two extremes: absolute security and absolute access. The closest we can get to an absolutely secure machine is one unplugged from the network, power supply, locked in a safe, and sunk to the ocean floor. Unfortunately, the machine isn't particularly useful at this point. A machine with absolute access is extremely convenient to use. It's simply there, ready to do whatever you ask of it, without questions, passwords, authorizations, etc. Unfortunately, this isn't practical either.

This is no different from our daily lives. We constantly have to make decisions about what kinds of risks we are going to accept. If you happen to be upstairs when you need to leave for work, you aren't going to jump out the window. It would be more convenient, but you know that the risk of injury outweighs the advantages of convenience. Every organization needs to decide where it needs to be in the range between the two extremes of absolute security and absolute access. It is important that a policy exist that articulates this, and then defines how that will be enforced with practices.
