Cybersecurity Fraud Prevention Week<\/a> is this week and Innovative Network Systems, Inc. is a proud supporter.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

What is Cybersecurity Fraud Awareness Week?<\/h2>\n

For over 21 years, the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE) has dedicated time and resources to raise awareness of employee business fraud. This year, the Cybersecurity Fraud Awareness Week campaign is held on November 14 \u2013 20th.\u00a0 The focus is to prevent and educate international communities on deliberate acts of fraud to deprive their employer of property or money.<\/p>\n

As a trusted partner in the IT business, we feel we have seen it all. For example, one of our clients shared that an executive took thousands of dollars through fraudulent expense reports and invoices. In addition, we have also seen employees break into the webserver to change website prices to $1 for spite. Further, we were brought in when a disgruntled IT employee left a backdoor open to the Electronic Medical Records, (EMR) so they could steal the patient database for their new employer.<\/p>\n

Last, rationalization is when an employee convinces themselves that the company owes them something or they are temporarily borrowing it. The most common types of fraud include:<\/p>\n
