Why We Don’t See

Security Holes

that Are Under Our Noses

Sponsored by http://www.TechGuideforLADistributors.com



Between sales quotas that

need to be reached, vendors

pushing for results, resellers

clamoring for deliveries,




shipments going out the door,

and those support questions

to boot,




there isn’t always

a lot of time left for security




We simply get lackadaisical

until computer hackers,

thieves, or irate customers

give us a painful reality check




IT Systems

in the Security Spotlight




Indeed, more and more

distribution activities are

driven by IT and IT systems

can hold all sorts of

confidential information




Without protection,

data may be corrupted,

copied without authorization,

or stolen




However, physical stock

protection, site access

control, and employee

awareness are all important

aspects of security as well




Testing to Get Around

Security Blind Spots




The best person to see the

security holes in your own

organization is somebody

else




• An IT tool that methodically

checks for common

vulnerabilities




• An expert who doesn’t

have your blind spots,

and who knows the

devious tricks hackers use

to penetrate IT systems




Bringing Security Flaws

to Your Attention




A security test report may list

holes relating to SQL injection,

cross-site scripting or other

strange-sounding names




A competent tester will be

able to give you a simple,

practical explanation of the

weakness and what it means

in business terms




What has your company

done about its security

weaknesses?
