October Dedicated to Spotlighting Internet Abuse and Cybercrime BOCA RATON, Fla., Sept. 25
BOCA RATON, Fla., Sept. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- SECNAP(R) Network Security
Corporation, a leading provider of network and email security solutions, today
announced its proud support of National Cyber Security Awareness Month.
October has been dedicated by the National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA) to
raising user awareness of cybercrime and offering guidelines for protective
measures, such as securing computers, creating strong passwords, and being
aware of unusual online behavior.
According to the NCSA, while the Internet is a revolutionary tool for
communication and learning, some individuals exploit the Internet in efforts
to gain unauthorized access to user computers, steal user identities, commit
fraud, and even launch cyberattacks against others.
According to SECNAP chief technology officer, Michael Scheidell, the
problem of cybercrime is rampant, expensive, and ongoing. "As security
professionals and experts in our field, we feel an obligation to help raise
security sensitivity among America's business and educational communities. The
NCSA plays an important role."
Scheidell founded SECNAP Network Security Corporation to protect clients'
information assets from hackers and other cyberthreats by raising the standard
for intrusion detection and prevention solutions. Three patents are pending
for his award-winning IDS/IPS technologies, and his email security gateway
solutions have won widespread recognition as well. Scheidell was recently
interviewed by Hakin9 Magazine.
