Business Information Security: On Your Guard!

Our business environment has changed rapidly over the last few years. Internet, e-mail and e-business have sped up communication processes and the exchange of information. These new information technologies have - however - also increased companies' vulnerability as they expose them to new risks.

Information is vital to any company as it facilitates work processes and decision-making. Misconduct, criminal activities and technical failures can cause the loss or theft of this essential asset and thus weaken or even ruin businesses.

Swiss Re protects the information it manages, stores and processes in a way that is consistent with the law as well as the expectations and business requirements of its clients, employees and contractors.

The brochure "On Your Guard" contains Swiss Re's business information security guidelines, including the following topics:

• Protecting sensitive information
• Handling sensitive information
• Avoiding social engineering
• Signing on
• Password guidelines and tips
• Computer viruses
• E-mail security
• Secure use of the Internet
• Laptops and other portable devices
• Working at home
• Where to get help
