Secure Computing Unveils Cyber Security Initiative

Secure Computing Corporation, an enterprise gateway security company, has unveiled its Cyber Security Initiative. The initiative strengthens the idea of protecting critical networks, applications, assets and data from both known and unknown attacks and attackers without sacrificing availability. Critical infrastructure comprises all computer systems that can be targets of criminal threats, industrial espionage and/or politically motivated sabotage such as the power grid, water supply, railways, nuclear energy plants and more. Attacks on such networks can cause loss of life, threaten public safety, impact national security, or create economic upheaval or environmental disaster.
"Even though businesses and government agencies know they need to secure their networks, many don't have the in-house expertise or time it takes to fully secure systems. We want to elevate awareness so that they understand how to change behavior to make security a high priority," said Scott Montgomery, VP (Global Technical Strategy), Secure Computing.
Adding more to it, Elan Winkler, Director (Critical Infrastructure Solutions), Secure Computing, said, "Our customers are concerned about how the security issues they read about in the media - malware, phishing, pharming, unauthorized access to servers, etc. - can affect their critical control networks. Cyber security wasn't originally designed into these types of networks. Add to that the new government regulations like NERC CIP, and we end up with a lot of unknowns and uncertainty."
