Optimize your data flow
Increasingly the administration, operation and maintenance of critical IT systems and user support is being carried out by remote staff – either by geographically distributed employees or by specialised service providers. The increased access to the IT infrastructure via WAN and/or Internet technologies means additional risks for companies’ applications and data. Data protection and data security must be ensured at all times. This is also a requirement of laws such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) or the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and standards such as PCI DSS or ISO/IEC 27001. Compliance and risk management are becoming the key topics in an increasingly networked environment and amitego and Visulox can provide the solution.
Significant risk: Internal and external company administrators
Clearly stated outsourcing and remote access means a loss of control for companies. A significant risk group for IT systems are both internal and external administrators and privileged users, who have direct access to the applications and, primarily, to the data. At the same time, their activities are carried out with virtually no controls or monitoring. There is a high risk of data loss, data manipulation and data misuse by internal and external specialists.
Companies do a great deal to protect their IT infrastructure against unauthorised access and external breaches. However, if a privileged user has logged in correctly control checks rarely take place and abuse of the system may occur. Blindly trusting all employees can be a costly mistake
