3. Overlooking the anomalies:

Breaking into an organization may be always easy for the hackers. But it’s hard for them to do the job without leaving any traits. An unnatural behavior from a system or in the network can always be considered as hacking. But how can we differentiate unnatural from the natural ones? This is the first and foremost thing that an IT admin should always know.

Most of the admins are unaware of the anomalies in the network. This can be a real advantage for the hackers. Admins who know the borderlines of anomalies and a normal behavior is very rare among organizations. If you can’t differentiate an anomaly from a common pattern, how can he or she alert the firm? According to the reports from The Verizon Data Breach Investigation, every security breach could be detected, only if the organizations where a bit more consistent in applying the right controls at the right time.
