What if the real threat is in your own company?
More often than not a threat to your system comes in the form of a cyber attacker, or maybe even just a natural occurrence, like hardware failure. These threats are always either from an external source or just a freak accident, but what if someone in your workforce intentionally spread malware around your systems, with the intent of causing havoc? It’s quite an unusual case, but exactly that happened recently.
As reported by Bleeping Computer, a software developer decided after he got demoted, he would run a custom malware and install a Killswitch on his now ex-employers system. His actions managed to cost the company hundreds of thousands of dollars, with him locking out thousands of employees with the Killswitch, which was activated once his company account was disabled in the windows active directory.

Thinking you’re immune to outside attacks or hardware failure is one thing, but what if the real threat to your system was inside your own business? Backing up your systems shouldn’t even be a question, but can you trust your employees not to go rogue and cause you to lose it all? While a cyber attack and hardware failure are preventable, it’s even harder to avoid the unpredictable actions of an insider.
