Download or read book Small Business Information Sharing written by Committee on Committee on Small Business United States House of Representatives and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-07-24 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In today's global economy, small businesses are increasingly turning to foreign technology to remain competitive in the world marketplace. However, these same products and services also provide new opportunities for foreign cyber criminals to infiltrate small business information technology systems, allowing them to access sensitive and valuable information. A recent survey found that 81 percent of small businesses are concerned about a cyber attack, but only 63 percent have the most basic cybersecurity measures in place to combat such an attack. Cyber attacks pose a higher risk for small businesses, since most do not have the means to hire specialized employees or pay the average $32,000 in damages should they be hit with a cyber attack. And, cyber threats for small businesses are on the rise. However, small businesses are still hesitant to engage with the federal government. This is often due to uncertainty surrounding legal liabilities, concerns about privacy and data protection, and a number of other factors. Still, federal information sharing is crucial to ensuring that small businesses have every resource possible to combat cyber threats and the confidence they need to engage with the federal agencies tasked with protecting them. Many cyber threats towards small businesses come at the hands of foreign bad actors, sometimes foreign governments, in an attempt to undermine the United States' national security and economy. In fact, the Department of Homeland Security recently published a public notice exposing a vulnerability in a notable security camera company. Hikvision, one of the top five largest manufacturers of security cameras worldwide, is 42 percent owned by the Chinese government, and in 2017, the Department of Homeland Security learned that many of its cameras were able to be hacked and remotely controlled.

Download or read book Small Business Information Security written by John Edwards Vail and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Small businesses account for over fifty percent of the Gross National Product of the U.S. economy; and the security of their information systems is critical for them to operate, compete, and remain profitable. While many security studies have been conducted and reported on enterprise scale organizations, similar research on small businesses in the U.S. is limited. One small business was evaluated by an information security audit to determine if its information resources and network were adequately secure, and will be used as a test case to identify an approach a typical small business may take to secure their networks and data to avoid unnecessary liability exposure. By examining the specific risk factors in this case study, the author believes parallels can be drawn by other small businesses as a starting point for examining their own risk factors. Additionally this study provides a series of proposed mitigation processes to improve the small businesses' network security that can be adopted by other small businesses in like circumstances. The mitigation processes are specifically tailored to the small business industry itself, as opposed to a larger organization that has a greater exposure to risk vulnerability and that also has larger asset pools from which to secure their networks. The method utilized for this research was qualitative in nature, using a form of Participatory Action Research (PAR). This approach was most appropriate in that it allows the researcher to act in partnership with the small business to attempt to affect social change that will help in securing the small business's information resources. An information security audit was performed on a small business to identify actual and potential threats, and an electronic questionnaire was distributed to the employees to gauge their individual perspectives of the clarity and comprehensibility of the business's security policy, the consequences of violations to the company's policy, how well the company's policy is disseminated and tracked for compliance, and if they have knowledge of steps to be taken in response to an incident or disaster. There were four objectives of this study. The first objective was to evaluate a small business's information security posture. The second objective was to determine if the small business had experienced any information technology security incidents. The third objective was to evaluate whether the incidents were caused by a lack of a policy, standard or procedure; an ineffective policy, standard or procedure; a lack of training and education; or a reluctance to enforce or monitor adherence to established policy, standards, or procedures. And the fourth objective was to recommend to the small business any changes or additions that would reduce the small business's exposure to information security threats, risks and vulnerabilities through effective information security risk management.
