Hi,
I was at the Infotech security show in London today, where I saw a HUGE
variety of anti-hacker, anti-virus, anti-phishing etc etc ad infinitum,
programs. These program vendors told how these products could detect
intrusion and stop it. Detect patterns of use and stop advers patterns. Stop
viruses and trojans and spyware etc etc.
But imagine that you are a corporate who relies on trade worldwide in a
sector where all information regarding deals and clients needs to be kept
absolutely secret from competitors.
Now imagine that you have some-how been hacked and such information has been
breached.
Also imagine, that you have a pretty good idea that you know that a
competitor is behind it.
I did not see one piece of software(maybe my eyes are not that good), that
offered a means to track, trace and provide evidence with relation to a
breach.
Many showed how, if breached the system could be quickly secured, but
hey.... isn't that rather beside the point?? Haven't you already lost your
livelihood??
Is there any product out there that can detect, secure and then trace a hack
etc so that at least you can take some kind of legal action against these
people??
Surely, if a system is hacked with the purpose of obtaining information then
that information has to go back to the hacker, otherwise, what use is it??
(or to be published thus rendering the info useless).
If this is the case then surely there is a way of detecting where and
who.....
Or am I over simplifying things here..??
Corporate hacks in todays competitive corporate environment are only going
to get worse and more prevalent, ....
Is there anything out there.................
