A master and apprentice discuss how to defend against the threat of professional information thieves.
Mingyue, did you read that recent article about professional information thieves? In this digital age, their methods of stealing confidential data are getting more sophisticated—it's really hard to guard against them.
Yes, Master. I noticed that aside from technical intrusions like phishing emails, social engineering and physical infiltration methods have also become more advanced. It’s really hard to defend against everything.
Exactly. In the past, we talked about 'all’s fair in war', and now even in business, it has come to 'all’s fair in strategy'. As the ancients said, 'Never let down your guard'—it’s still very true today.
The article mentioned that companies need to adopt a three-pronged approach: technical protection, staff training, and physical security. But I think the key is employees' own security awareness. No matter how good the technology is, it can’t prevent human error.
You're absolutely right. Cultivating security awareness is more important than any firewall. As the saying goes, 'A dike a thousand miles long can collapse from an ant's hole'—a tiny mistake can lead to huge losses.
Master, what’s your view on the future trend of security technologies? I feel the battle between stealing and defense methods will only get more intense.
You're right. Espionage and defense will always be like spear and shield. But as long as we keep improving our awareness and updating our technologies and management practices, we can stay ahead in this battle.
