Features of Intranet security management and product selection (1)

Bkjia.com exclusive Article: Intranet security is no longer an issue that needs to be avoided, but a question of how to manage it. To describe Intranet security in one sentence, it is a "old saying, I have to talk about it ". It is not a matter of time to fully grasp this complicated learning. Therefore, this article briefly discusses the scope and characteristics of Intranet security, the establishment of regulations, personnel management, and product selection.

The ancients said, "Know Yourself And know yourself and know what you are doing. "To ensure the security of the enterprise intranet, you must have an understanding of the definition and scope of Intranet security. Just like seeing a doctor, you must" prescribe the right remedy ".

Intranet security scope

Intranet security directly affects the confidentiality of enterprise information, so it is not too much to emphasize. If you want to prevent Intranet security, you must have a clear understanding of its features.

Li Yang, an Information Security Officer of a foreign company, once said: "Intranet security problems mainly come from two aspects: one is the outer-to-inner border and the other is the border security. There are different preventive measures based on security issues of different sources. "

Indeed, when talking about security issues, on the one hand, we naturally think about how to prevent attacks from the Internet, how to prevent attackers from intruding into the internal network, and how to control access permissions for remote access, these are security issues from the outside to the inside; on the other hand, we also need to control access from the enterprise intranet to the Internet, access to internal mobile devices, distribution management, and so on.

It can be seen that Intranet security has a two-way interaction management feature. Therefore, one-way management is incomplete. Therefore, it may cause some technical difficulties. However, in addition to technical aspects, the difficulties of Intranet security management also include industry differences and the establishment of systems.

Difficulties in Intranet Security Management

First, security management varies greatly due to the IT construction of enterprises and different needs of the industry. Some enterprises may focus on data leakage prevention, some enterprises may focus on employees' daily online behavior control, and some enterprises focus more on Intranet and Internet access and access. Compared with Internet protection, Intranet security is more complex and messy, and there is no standard for prevention.

Second, many technologies and products are involved in Intranet security. Authentication, permission control, system management, behavior management, network monitoring, application management, etc. So many related technologies and products make security personnel overwhelmed, it is also caused by the complexity of Intranet security requirements.

Third, the system is imperfect. When faced with Intranet security problems, many enterprises often encounter personnel management problems instead of technical deficiencies. Many employees are not security personnel and do not realize that some operations pose security threats. For example, Enterprise A has installed the online behavior management product to control the network usage of employees. However, an employee still accesses the Internet through a 3G network, resulting in data leakage. Before Data leaks, the company explicitly prohibits access to the Internet in any form and effectively promotes the implementation of this provision.

It can be said that, to a certain extent, the establishment of a standardized system aims at better personnel management. What problems should we pay attention to in terms of system and personnel management for Intranet security?

System Establishment and Personnel Management

Li Yang was deeply touched by the establishment of the system and personnel management. He said: "for different industries, there will be different personnel management requirements systems and regulations ).

For example, in the financial industry, the IT Governance in the financial industry is aimed at setting different security levels for different departments and classes to achieve a security goal.

For example, ordinary employees have different daily work security standards, O & M personnel security standards, and management personnel security standards. If it is implemented in the regulations, it will be very meticulous, such as the security management of in-service personnel and the security management of resigned personnel.

In addition, people use the tool. For security tool products), and the use of daily office software, because each person's quality is different, the use of these tools, security awareness is different. "

It can be seen that the addition of human factors makes Intranet security management more complex. So how should we develop an Intranet security management system suitable for enterprises? The following suggestions are provided:

◆ Understand your business needs

Daily business operations are the lifeblood of an enterprise. Therefore, starting from the foundation, we analyze the daily work behaviors of employees in the business workflow, identify weak links, and formulate work specifications that meet business needs.

◆ Understand security risks

It is necessary to find out what risks may be faced by the enterprise intranet and how many risks are exposed under the existing conditions. Only by understanding these risks can we formulate relevant preventive and emergency measures to ensure business continuity.

◆ Improve employee Quality

In fact, most security problems are caused directly or indirectly by people. Therefore, we should cultivate and improve the professional quality, information and network security quality of internal personnel, and formulate reasonable security management systems and work processes, is very necessary.

Security is always relative, and there will always be a variety of secrets, but we should try to combine the security systems and measures of enterprises to link them together. The most important thing is: do everything possible to implement these systems!

With the Intranet security system and personnel management mechanism, we need to combine some security products to enhance Intranet protection. Let's talk about the selection of security products.
