Commercial sales jobs in IT security needed?
22 January 2010
A recent study by Imperva revealed that 50 per cent of people who are computer users fail to have effective passwords in place, with many using names, dictionary words or trivial phrases.
Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant for Sophos, said the research is "depressingly predictable".
He noted that the general public and organisations are widely unaware of how easy it is for hackers to bombard online accounts with thousands of predictable log-in choices.
Professionals can simply launch a dictionary attack on a computer, Mr Cluley stated, so that information guarded by simple words and phrases can be broken into.
According to the expert, having strong protection could help to prevent identity theft and sensitive data falling into the wrong hands.
The most common codes the Imperva survey highlighted included Password, 12345 and iloveyou.

As a new business sales executive, my dealings with sales recruitment agencies has not always been positive! However, my dealings with Laura at On Target Recruitment were much more amicable, straightforward & productive. The strength & depth of her commercial relationship with my employer meant that she was able to positively direct & influence securing the opportunity. The successful contract negotiations were also brokered with consumate professionalism. Many thanks again! Arnie Glausiusz
