The Need to be security conscious for organizations and individual

Security's days as just a technical issue are done. It is becoming a central concern for leaders at the highest level of many organizations and governments, transcending national borders. Customers are demanding it as worries about privacy, the protection of personally identifiable information, and identity theft grow.

Security breach has been widely experienced in the global sector not just in the IT industries.

Reflecting on the recent incident of security breach where Chinese hackers access U.S. Weapons Systems' Design Plans.Question:

Who should be blame? The System Designers?

Or The Affected Firm?

Don't BLAME The System Designers

In my own point of view, although there are many aspects to take into consideration when designing a computer system, security can prove to be very important. In this case I think all the firms or organizations should also be improving their security system on daily basis.

Also the BEST way to stop these attacks is to have a network inaccessible to regular users. Maybe all government related tech info should be on networks comparable SIPRNet (Secret Internet Protocol Router Network ) or higher. Perhaps this might ease the problems.

Be Security Conscious

As a firm or an organization you must keep in mind that Digital connectivity is the lifeblood of global operations. Which means that you are expose to danger from hackers or any security threats.

In cyberdefense activities, the typical mindset has been one in which risks are identified and mitigated based on known vulnerabilities and known threats.
