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.
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.
