Current Internet Network Security Policies Are Nonsense and Need an Urgent Rewrite

Somerset, NJ (PRWEB) September 23, 2005

Data-recovery-reviews.com,(http://www.data-recovery-reviews.com ), the leading portal on data storage, data recovery and network security has suggested that internet network security policy frameworks that deal with organization wide internet security need a radical rethink.

In a recent interview, Gary J, lead editor for data-recovery-reviews.com, suggested that internet network security policies in most Fortune 500 companies are flawed in strategy and implementation.

Gary suggests that the use of external consultants for the entire internet network security policy framework is not a great idea since the external consultants will find it difficult to grasp the intricacies and business drivers for the network security decisions. Also, internal employees do not contribute to the internet network security policies due to corporate stakeholder issues.

Also, in terms of implementation, the internet network security policy should be disseminated to each and every employee of the company through seminars , handouts and quizzes rather than an innocuous email that no one in the company reads.

Gary also suggested that the network security policy, should capture the latest trends in the network security industry rather than playing catch up. One of the network security aspects that Internet network security policy makers should be worried about now is access to corporate data through a Blackberry or a mobile phone.

In short, internet network security policies for Fortune 500 companies will have to be rewritten with the involvement of employees and properly disseminated.
