There’s more

to the data security situation

than meets the eye




Hackers Piggybacking

Their Way In




Hackers do not necessarily

want what is inside the

systems of Los Angeles

manufacturers




They are also on the lookout

for ways to use such systems

to attack other companies

elsewhere:




• Using an access ID

granted to a manufacturer

by a retailer for visibility into

the retailer’s stock database




• Turning the manufacturer’s

systems into slave systems

that a hacker can use to

launch “denial of service”

attacks on another

organization




• Installing rogue programs

in the manufacturer’s

systems and diverting

user transactions to those

programs to harvest credit

card payments and more




Company bank account

information and employee

records with social security

numbers are often favorites




Don’t discount possibilities of

deliberate damage from

activist groups (“hacktivists”)

or unscrupulous competitors

either




The 80/20 Rule Applied

to Data Security




With a few basic

security precautions

(20% of investment),




such as a firewall, antivirus

software and keeping system

operating systems up to date,




manufacturers can

rapidly beef up protection

(80% of results),




and make their operations

much more difficult for

hackers to attack




As a manufacturer

in Los Angeles,




if you take a little trouble

with your data security,

you can save yourself

a lot of trouble afterward




Do your business partners

ask you for proof of

data security precautions?




Can this be a competitive

advantage for you to clinch

deals?
