Viewfinity Urges Organizations Not to Wait for Cybersecurity Executive Order

It was recently announced that the U.S. senate had failed to pass legislation to safeguard the U.S. electrical grid, water supplies and other important industries from cyber attack and electronic espionage.

The bill did not receive the required number of votes to move it forward before Congress takes a month-long break.

But Viewfinity is urging companies not to wait for another month to deploy security technology, policy and training designed to safeguard critical corporate and organizational information, data and applications.

The company’s CEO, Leonid Shtilman, stated that Viewfinity encourages every company to evaluate its IT data infrastructure and take the appropriate steps to safeguard it and suitably train the people who use their data on ways to keep it safe.

According to Viewfinity, it’s important to issue a rule, either with the help of legislation or executive order, that every company should implement the "least privilege principle," offering employees the minimum rights required to perform their business functions.

“Along with the U.S. Senate's opposition, it is true that not all technology companies support all the details of the cybersecurity legislation,” said Shtilman. “However, a good example of support is the activity within The Silicon Valley Leadership Group, representing more than 375 companies, for the need to establish a clear rule which will protect this country from cyber threats. The most popular argument against this legislation is that it will be too expensive to implement the requirements.”

Recently, the company partnered with e92plus Limited, a valued-added distributor in the U.K. e92plus will distribute Viewfinity's privilege management and application control solution, with the help of its reseller partners all over the U.K.
