The recent attack on Sony which revealed credit card information, names, addresses and passwords on approximately 77 million accounts has far-reaching consequences. A separate attack on major websites hosted by Amazon resulted in outages at many of the hosted sites. We feel that this is yet another indication of the importance of understanding the risks and controls in an IT environment. Note that risks may be an external threat or an internal vulnerability.
Our audit services are laser-focused on IT risks and controls with the specific objective of improving security. We feel that effective IT auditing and risk control strategies applied to IT environments could probably have prevented these successful attacks.
