You can never let your guard down with hackers

Lyne: “It all boils down to staying alert and keeping your guard up.”

PETALING JAYA: If companies think that they have all their IT security bases covered, they’d better think again. None can be too careful when it comes to security, especially when their security policy hasn’t been updated in a while.

Dr James Lyne, director of technology strategy at computer security software provider Sophos, advised organisations to take constant looks at their IT practices, to prevent employees from accidentally or intentionally creating an entry point for exploiters.
