Business competitors, criminals, foreign intelligence
services or terrorists may attempt to access your
information by breaking into your IT systems, by
obtaining the data you have thrown away, or by
infiltrating your organisation via a disaffected member of
staff.
An attack could not only cause extensive disruption to
your business; if information about you or your company
has been compromised or subverted, you could also
suffer the loss of your reputation or credibility in the
marketplace.
Whilst some security measures might appear to be
expensive, they may be justifiable when compared with
the costs of a major security breach. MI5 Guide To Information Security
