Attack Vulnerabilities

NASA's security chief today declared that there were major security risks in the computer servers in the United States, and that outlaws could launch an attack entirely via the Internet. "We found a high risk gap in the mission network across the entire NASA organization, which was exposed before the Internet attack, especially the six control spacecraft," NASA watchdog Paul Martin said at a NASA cyber security review today. Computer servers containing sensitive data have remote attack vulnerabilities that remote attackers can control or make unusable. ...

Threats are becoming more complex and costly. Executives pay close attention to security issues, but do not always ensure that their companies can manage risk effectively. Traditionally, corporate security has been an afterthought, and many companies are subject to fragmented security products and disorderly processes. From a maintenance point of view, this is obviously problematic. Worse, new network threats attack vulnerabilities between single points of production and gaps between processes ...
