Rump-up your network security
You need to assume that attackers are at least as intelligent and motivated as you (the defender) and that the weakest point in the system are the most likely to be targeted.
SECUNDA – Mr Robert Wright from RJ Connect did a presentation, Rump-up your Network Security, at an SAIMC meeting recently.
“Network security is not a goal that can be reached, but a process and an attitude.
“New vulnerabilities are discovered daily and threats continue to evolve and personnel become lax or find workarounds to security measures.
“You need to assume that attackers are at least as intelligent and motivated as you (the defender) and that the weakest point in the system is the most likely to be targeted.
“Network security may be achieved or lost, incrementally through small actions and inaction,” Mr Wright explained.
All instrumentation and control-related mechanicians, technicians and/or engineers are welcome to attend the monthly technology events this year.
The planned dates for the rest of the year are: 7 September, 12 October and 2 November.
All the Secunda SAIMC presentations will earn CPD points for ECSA registered persons.
