Recessions and Security
I'm not sure if this is self-serving, real or both, but Slavik Markovich, the
CTO of Sentrigo, claims that in tough economic times, your computer defenses
need to
be extra-strong.
That's because layoffs mean more angry ex-workers (or angry new hackers), and
that folks that have jobs might be looking for ways to make a buck or two by
stealing company data, says Markovich. IT workers may even sabotage the network
to show how necessary IT jobs are. Interesting theory.
