4. Goes Beyond Information System Security
Most organizations, when considering their security needs, focus on information system security. Information system security is Blackbird’s focus as well.

But it’s important to remember that highly motivated intruders, if thwarted by effective system access controls, may seek access via non-technical means. A firewall isn’t going to protect your internal systems from employee malfeasance. Even highly secure systems can be disabled if an intruder attacks power sources, communication lines, or other resources on which the systems depend.

If you think such risks are inconsequential compared to the prospect of system-based attacks, consider the fact that, in 1994, a squirrel chewing through a power line brought down NASDAQ’s entire network.

Thus, for your information systems and the data on them to be well secured, it is necessary for you to protect your critical infrastructures, facilities, and personnel. Your goal should be to identify and harden vulnerable areas—regardless of type—that, if exploited, could critically impair your organization’s ability to function and impact your bottom line.
