It is very important to ensure the safety of any enterprise are the tasks related to the protection of information.
The main channels of information leakage include:
- The use of electro-transformation in equipment having communication lines by connecting them special adaptations. Talk to any room can listen in on telephone lines, even if the handset is in its place.
- Interception of electromagnetic radiation and interference arising from the hardware. The distances at which the interception is real, very significant. For example, information on a personal computer monitor screen is fixed on a special receiver located from the radiation source at a distance of 1 km.
- Eavesdropping on conversations taking place in the premises, with sensitive directional microphone, thanks to which in an urban environment can eavesdrop even quiet conversation at a distance of over 100 meters. Get information from the conversation is real and with the help of laser systems that react to fluctuations in the window panes in the company’s premises, due to human speech.
- Using visual information from the print obtained by using a computer, and other official documents by the use of optical and fotosredstv.
- Application of various miniaturized embedded devices, referred to “bugs”.
It is necessary to exercise works to block said leakage channels on each plant, which is conducted: inspection object; the drafting of a comprehensive data protection; said certification system. In this case, a special radio gage and opto-electronic devices, in particular for the detection of “bugs”, “pry” and “listening” television-optical and laser devices, electromagnetic protective screens, conductive paste to the environment and other special purpose.
Perhaps the most important channel of information leakage is the company’s staff . Personnel of any enterprise, according to experts, an average of 25% is made up of honest people, in the 25% – of the people who are just waiting for an opportunity to “annoy” the enterprise or his superiors, and 50% of persons who may stay or not stay themselves depending on the situation. In this connection special importance is the nature of the relations of the enterprise managers to their subordinates.
Great danger of leakage of information associated with management of the highest level and with their secretaries. According to the survey, two out of every three secretaries feel for various reasons are not satisfied with their work.
To protect the property of the company and their employees, many companies create their own security . Their main task is to ensure the physical safety, in particular, the protection of buildings and structures, collection, private security managers, staff and trade secrecy. However, more often the service is necessary to participate in the evaluation of partners, customers, investment projects, the return of overdue debts, determining the potential of competing companies, etc.
It is essential that safety-were related and all employees of the company. It is necessary to consistently implement the slogan: ” The point of the company safety – the case of each of its employees .”
One should always study the dynamics of business activity of competitors, their possible “pegs”, including through the enticement of personnel in order to obtain the necessary information, as well as the situation in the market and consumer reaction.
It is necessary to form a special fund of information about competitors , which must contain them all the basic information. For employees studying competitors, developed a special questionnaire and a list of ways to get information.
Experience in crisis management shows that all aspects of enterprise security is very important, but in recent years, priority is given first and foremost information security. The West believes that “business – 90% of the information, and only 10% – good luck.”
Information, as we know, can be fixed and unfixed.
Fixed information – information is recorded (fixed) on any physical medium, and not fixed – the knowledge held by scientists, specialists and workers involved in the manufacture and capable of transmitting this knowledge to others. The technical information carriers are paper carriers (listings, punched cards, punched tape), film and photographic materials (micro and movies), magnetic media (tapes, CDs), videos, information on the PC screen on the display of collective use, on-screen industrial television systems and other media.
Technical means of confidential sources of information are divided into a means of ensuring the production and employment and the means of automated data processing equipment (AOI).
The first group includes the telephones and telephone connection; telegraph, facsimile and fototelegraficheskaya; Radiocommunication system (standalone territorial, relay, satellite etc.); television (including industrial TV assets); radios and radio broadcasting system; hands-free system; and magnetic recording means; means reproduction (typewriters, photocopiers, fax machines) and other systems and facilities. All of them can be electromagnetic channels of information leakage.
AOI systems include almost all information about a particular company from the dossier for an employee to the product, its characteristics, price and other information.
Verbal exchanges, speaking before audiences, stories, exhibitions, exchange of letters, etc. – represent informal information communication . According to some researchers, through informal communications disclosed from 30% to 80% of the least available information is practically absent in any other forms.
The new market-competitive environment there is a lot of problems, related not only to the security of business information as a form of intellectual property, but also the natural and legal persons, their property ownership and personal safety.
In conditions of market economy security, including physical, legal and information, it has become the main factor of survival.
