s landline devices and from remote locations as well as from headquarters. There are multiple places where viruses can infect internal networks. To protect data stored in the cloud, organizations use a combination of, for example, Amazon cloud security software and/or security software designed to operate in the cloud. www.TechnicalPDF.com Security software can additionally be located on servers to protect particular applications and at remote branch offices. Specialized Security Software Specialty security software is also available for e-mail and other applications. In addition to security software, firms hire outside organizations to conduct security audits to identify weaknesses that leave the organization vulnerable to attacks. Auditors might identify out-of-date software that needs to be patched, or they might find unauthorized wireless devices without the requisite security software. As security programs become more sophisticated, hackers find new ways to get around them by creating increasingly sophisticated malware. It is an ongoing challenge to respond to every new type of security breach with improved defenses. This is a particularly difficult challenge because there is generally a lag between when a new software bug or worm is discovered and a software patch is created to guard against it. It's also time- consuming to add patches to not only software security but also application programs such as browsers that might introduce security vulnerabilities. One advantage of Software as a Service (applications in the cloud) is that the cloud provider adds patches to these applications, thus eliminating breaches caused by software with known vulnerabilities. Intentional and Inadvertent Security Breaches by Insiders Employees who have been fired or those who feel entitled to access information are frequent causes of these incidents. An employee with high-level authorization to sensitive data can copy it or corrupt it in some way. The employee might then provide the sensitive data to competitors or cyber crimin
