While your company may not need to protect the personal information of the most powerful people on the planet, you should be no less concerned about keeping sensitive information private. Your intranet holds employee records, customer and partner data, financial information, and proprietary engineering documents; and it's your responsibility to protect it all. Even having a basic security policy combined with the right set of tools and technologies can substantially reduce the risk of a serious security incident occurring on your watch.

Risk Management for the Intranet

Intranet security involves an ongoing process of assessing and managing the risks that face your information systems. To be effective, your security strategy should incorporate the needs of employees and partners, and define the policy and technology you'll use. While your intranet can never be completely secure against all threats, there are several steps you can take to substantially reduce the risks.
