 London, UK 1st April 2011 - As reports that an audit of NASA's IT resources has revealed that the space giant's computer systems are at risk of cyber-attack, Claire Sellick, Event Director with Infosecurity Europe, says that this illustrates that almost every IT manager has something to learn on the security front.

 "According to an audit carried out by the US Office of the Inspector General (OIG), six servers were found to be potentially open to defacement attacks, denial of service attacks and plain old information stealing attacks," she said.

"What this teaches us is that, regardless of the level of technical expertise - and you would expect the skills of NASA's IT professionals to be second to none - no one organisation can be expected to be truly confident that their IT systems are protected against the latest hybridised attacks," she added.
