Enterprise Network Site Information security: No.

Comments: Information security is very important for modern enterprises. Today, many enterprises (including some security experts) have chosen the so-called shortcuts when dealing with security issues. This situation is worrying. There are many reasons for this phenomenon, such as the fact that companies want to spend less and do more work, and the rapid development of attack and anti-attack technologies, and new media technologies and vendors to launch products that contain new threats. Driven by these factors, it is not surprising that enterprises choose a variety of convenient solutions. However, using these so-called shortcuts poses many potential risks.
　　Companies rely heavily on vendors
When looking for a panacea for security protection, enterprises will find that their needs have been fully guided by the manufacturers. It should be noted that the product manufacturer does not have a very good understanding of the security protection status of each enterprise, or the vendor's definition of security is not very consistent with the actual security requirements of each enterprise. If you rely heavily on third-party products to define your security requirements, the Enterprise will eventually give up its own security policies and be totally responsible for the vendor's arrangements. Although it may bring good results to vendors responsible for implementing security services or products, this does not mean that enterprises should completely abandon their own security policies.
　　Ignoring the security protection process
In the process of looking for security protection solutions, enterprises often solve a problem in security protection. The solution usually replaces the existing solution with a complete set of convenient solutions, instead of modifying the Security processing process or security mechanism for that problem, in this way, the real security problems can be hidden more deeply, leading to greater security risks. For Patch Management, if the software has security problems, you can purchase another software to replace the existing one. However, if you do not take the time to check the running process of existing software, do not communicate with security personnel, or assess the risks of patches, the final result is likely to be that the new software will have the same problem in the near future. In the field of security defense, technology is very important, but the implementation process of personnel and security work is more important.
　　Improper security software setup
Information security tools are not a security analyst who can work 24x7 around the clock. If you do not carefully debug the product and make full use of its functions, even if you have the world's "best" security products or technologies, you will not be able to solve all the security problems of the enterprise. The most common example is the log management or SIEM solution. It is not enough for an enterprise to simply purchase "log management" or "related products, because information related to security events may be captured by management tools, if such information is not regularly viewed or not correctly responded, the level of enterprise security protection will not be improved.
　　Too confident in Enterprise Security
If one day your company finds a "panacea" that can solve the security problem of your company, then you may think that the security problem of your company can be easily resolved, at this time, it is easiest to ignore many other factors that affect the security level. Blindly relying on the selected security solution may lead to new or different security risks for enterprises. In the event of a security accident, the enterprise may not be able to handle it effectively or properly explain it to the management or the customer. Many enterprises are slow to respond to security incidents, and some enterprises can only remain silent.
　　Summary
Instead of selecting a so-called shortcut solution to solve all the security problems of the enterprise, it is better to establish a security policy with sufficient depth for the enterprise's own situation. In the end, there is no absolute shortcut in the information security field. To achieve relative security, it is necessary to constantly effectively adjust and monitor the enterprise's own security policies and implementation processes.
