Article by Michael Scheidell Explores Security Impact of Undocumented Layers of OSI Model
BOCA RATON, Fla., Dec. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- SECNAP(R) Network Security
Corporation, a leading provider of network and email security solutions, today
announced that a ground-breaking article by chief technology officer, Michael
Scheidell, has been featured in the December issue of (IN)SECURE Magazine.
(IN)SECURE is a free digital news publication that explores the latest
information security topics.
The SECNAP article identifies three undocumented layers of the Open
Systems Interconnection (OSI) model and the serious impact they can have on
organizations' security programs. These undocumented OSI layers are politics,
the religion of technology, and economics-elements which often drive
sub-optimal decisions regarding security strategy and technology and can leave
a network vulnerable to malicious intrusion or attack, according to Scheidell.
The OSI article reviews an array of threats that may be posed by these
powerful influencers.
Scheidell urges CISOs, CIOs and Information Technology managers to
consider these hidden influencers when designing projects aimed at enhancing
network security and the protection of sensitive data. In many cases, he
suggests, they will need to change how they approach such projects.
"Change is difficult, however. Change consumes time. Change requires
investment," observes Scheidell. "On the positive side, change can produce
exciting new tools and applications. Change can jump-start new thinking. And
if necessity is the mother of invention, change is the father."
In addition to real-world examples of the impact of these powerful
influencers, the article offers insights to help information security
personnel win approval for their projects. The complete article is available
at http://www.net-security.org/dl/insecure/INSECURE-Mag-19.pdf .
Interviews with Scheidell regarding network, email and information
security have recently appeared in Hakin9 magazine and VARBusiness.
