Among some of the secrets that corporations have reported stolen by corporate spies are General Electric's formula for manufacturing industrial diamonds, Kodak's filmmaking technology, the design for a new Gillette Co. shaving system and Schering-Plough Corp.'s recipe for manufacturing the anti-cancer drug Interferon.

Losses from computer crime and information attacks can reach into the millions of dollars. Omega Engineering Corp. was nearly forced out of business when one of its employees detonated a computer "time bomb" that wiped out all of the company's software. Result: The company lost $10 million due to that one incident alone!

Security experts agree that the real threat to information is often from within - ranging from disgruntled employees to outside contractors with insider privileges. In fact, "nearly 80 percent of security violations are caused by authorized users with legitimate access," according to the FBI.

Despite spending $6 billion annually on computer security hardware and software to ward off hackers, companies are discovering that even the best firewalls and security monitoring tools can't prevent internal breaches caused by lax end-user security practices.

So, how do you make sure that your company's information assets are protected? The first line of defense is employee awareness - the critical "humanware" component of your data security armor.

Your Security Awareness Task Just Got Easier

SECURITYsense will take the burden of educating your end-users off your shoulders, saving you both time and money.

Here's how it works: At the beginning of every month, you'll receive via e-mail, 20-professionally presented security awareness articles in HTML and MS Word format. View an Index of the past 12 months of SECURITYsense.

You and your employees may view items on your company's intranet site as HTML documents complete with color illustrations, charts and graphs or, if you prefer, you can periodically e-mail selected articles to your employees, or incorporate the messages into computer pop-up screens.

Even if you don't have an intranet site, you can print and distribute copies of SECURITYsense, post the articles on company bulletin boards or use them in internal publications.

Either way, the information in each issue of SECURITYsense is easily accessible to all of your employees.

Why is SECURITYsense so effective? Because each month it brings your employees practical information about security related issues on and off the job. And it's presented in a series of 20 easy-to-read-and understand messages.

For example, SECURITYsense tells your employees --

how to protect the company's critical information

how they fit in to the company's information security program

how their job security depends on information security

If SECURITYsense helps you avoid just one information security breach during the course of the year, it'll pay for itself many times over.

SECURITYsense offers a cornucopia of awareness material including. . .

Protect Your IT Investment - Lessen Your Exposure

If you're serious about protecting your information systems and creating an effective security culture that encourages compliance at all levels, you'll want to make sure that you have SECURITYsense in your corner.

Your company has spent a fortune building an information fortress comprised of the latest security hardware and software. The best way to protect that considerable investment is to beef up your "humanware," - the most vulnerable link in the information security chain.

Data Protection Must Start With Employees

Information security solutions involve three major controls: social, physical and technical. Of these, the most important is social controls. After all, locks on the door won't work if people don't use them and computer passwords are useless if people share them with others. Ultimately, your information security program is only as good as your employees.

For a growing number of enlightened companies - from large corporations to smaller companies - it makes better sense to try to prevent information security breaches than to pay for their cost down the road.

Now for as little as $1,295 per year, you can bullet-proof your information security program and start your employees on the road to better security right away. The base price includes distribution for up to 5,000 employees. For larger distribution requirements, call 508-533-9099. Just one lesson learned - one single data security tip or technique that your employees can adopt as their own - could pay for this subscription many times over.

Find out for yourself how much this proactive continuing security awareness service can help train your employees to protect valuable information and ensure your company's competitive edge. Something this good - and inexpensive - deserves your utmost consideration.
