Security is often looked upon as a requirement of large and sensitive organizations. But data for everybody is vital and hence precautions are essential for everybody. A recent IP Scan in our labs revealed the facts in which even large corporate and several ISPs were found vulnerable to simple ping and explorer access revealing their sensitive data. Spywares, worms , scripts , phishing, hacking all are possible if adequate measures are not taken to secure the network when accessing the internet. At Netsys we evaluate security lapses and recommend appropriate measures starting from software firewalls to hardware firewalls to anything to keep valuable data secure. The following survey by CSI illustrates some facts.
