TIGER TEAMS

Companies agree that the only effective way of assesing possible security risks to their computers is to use expert hackers to try and to break inti them.

The tiger team's job is to test a network's resilience against determined attacks from anyone - from criminally - minded hackers to ruthless competitors or disenchanted employees.

This way, the information is regarded as a tangible asset.

Computacenter studies show that, from the point of view of OS, Unix is the most vulnerable system (preffered by 45% of hackers), while systems such as Novell, Sun, DOS, VMS all scored under 10%.

To securize computers, firewall products themselves are quite efficient. Unfortunately, there are always possibilities to bypass them.

But security is a matter of maintaining a balance between making things difficult for hackers and keeping the system user - friendly.
