VERASYS LLC Offers Services Directed at Protecting Personal Identifying Information (PII)
Recent losses of Personal Indentifying Information by companies has put a lot of clients at risk of identity theft.
Miami, Fla. (PRWEB) June 3, 2009 -- Recent losses of data containing Personal Identifying Information (PII) by a large number of corporations and governments have demonstrated that information protection programs in many companies is lacking. The youthful hacker of yesterday has been replaced by well educated and trained individuals that are part of organized crime groups that are resident in such countries as Russia, the Ukraine, Nigeria, and the U.S.
These groups have one objective in mind: identify companies and penetrate their facilities and business processes in both soft copy/non-IT and IT environments in order to obtain PII that can be sold on the black market and the underground world of criminals.
However, it must be noted that the theft of proprietary information from corporations, in particular, identity theft, is not just limited to facility and systems access by organized crime. In fact, the majority of cases under investigation by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), Federal, State, and Local Law Enforcement, and private sector security organizations, show that more frequently than not, someone who has or had access to proprietary information (employees/sub-contractors/vendors), regardless of the media source, abuses that position of knowledge or access and commit theft by making the information available to others for criminal purposes.
Our experience and investigations have shown that other threats of proprietary information come from:
| | - Competitors
- Governments
- Industry Watchers
- Entrepreneurs
- Sweat Shop Hackers
- Amateur Hackers
