White Papers
Fire Eye:CISO Guide to Next Generation Threats
Over 95% of businesses unknowingly host compromised endpoints, despite their use of firewalls, intrusion prevention systems (IPS), antivirus and Web gateways.1 This situation-the new status quo-results from criminals leveraging multiple zero-day vulnerabilities, commercial-quality toolkits and social media to perpetrate next-generation threats. These threats move "low and slow" and use several stages and channels to duck traditional defenses and find vulnerable systems and sensitive data.
Voltage: The Identity-Based Encryption Advantage: A New Standard for Protecting Information
This white paper will define the requirements for a robust key management system, explain why traditional key management architectures do not fully meet these requirements, and introduce a new architecture that uniquely meets all the requirements for an effective enterprise key management system.
Challenge: Oversight, Verification and Auditing of Privileged Users
Privileged users are sysadmins, engineers, technicians, contractors, and others who routinely access the most privileged interfaces in the IT infrastructure. Privileged interfaces are protected by physical and logical security to ensure that all access is authorized access. Administrative policies often require that actions over privileged interfaces be rigorously documented. Compliance regulations are frequently interpreted by auditors to include the documenting of all changes executed through privileged interfaces. This poses three challenges: 1) significant workload creating and maintaining documentation manually, 2) inaccuracies and documentation gaps, and 3) no viable means of verification.
CISO Briefing: How Security Can Enable Top IT Priorities for 2011
In this paper we explore how one key security technology, Enterprise Access Management, can play a pivotal role in enabling the CIO and the CISO to work together to achieve four of the top 10 goals.
Global Security Report
In 2010, SpiderLabs performed more than 220 investigations worldwide. In 85% of the investigations, a system breach was confirmed. Of those entities in which a system breach was confirmed, 90% involved the actual theft of sensitive data, representing criminals' effectiveness in extracting data once system access is obtained. Cybercriminals simply selected a target, accessed data from that target and harvested sensitive data with little to no resistance. Cybercriminals are repeatedly portrayed as individuals or a loosely connected band of individuals. But our research demonstrates that cybercriminals have evolved to integrate with the world's organized crime rings. These criminal organizations are highly structured and are now investing in technology and technically skilled people to assist them in a primary goal: defrauding businesses worldwide.
Five Critical Rules for Firewall Management: Lessons from the Field
Firewall management remains an organization's primary network defense. It commands more time from network security managers than virtually any other activity. And it's easy to get wrong, particularly by IT administrators doing double duty as their organizations' IT security staff. Dell SecureWorks' network security team identified five focus areas for IT managers when managing their firewall. Our security engineers provide real-life cases to highlight the importance of these recommendations. The actions outlined below can help IT managers save time, money and administrative burden.
SailPoint: Chart a Better Course with Identity Governance
Turn the Winds of Change to your Advantage – If you’re like most of today’s organizations, you’re tasked with providing a constantly growing, changing population of users with quick and targeted access to systems, applications and data. Managing secure, compliant access to dozens, hundreds or even thousands of resources – across datacenter and cloud environments – is tough. To handle these challenges, you need an approach that allows you to scale up and keep up, while keeping access-related risks, costs and audit deficiencies down. You need identity governance.
Websense: Unified Content Security in Practice
Part 1 of the Websense® white paper series on unified content security explains why today’s organizations need a unified content security solution: among many other challenges, fast-evolving malware, blended threats, internally initiated data leakage, and an increasingly borderless enterprise have rendered traditional point product approaches less effective while driving up costs and complexity. Part 2 in the series subsequently defines a unified security solution as one that incorporates unified content analysis, a unified platform, and unified management. It also enumerates the capabilities and requirements that must be met by each of these components.
Qlik Technologies: BI for the People – And the 10 Pitfalls to Avoid in the New Decade
Business Intelligence (BI) emerged twenty years ago as a tool for decision-making. Originally used exclusively by analysts, power users, and board-level executives, it has slowly evolved into a more democratic medium as organizations have come to realize that decision-makers at all levels and in all departments need access to timely, relevant information. Today, there is an increasingly strong move towards the ‘consumerization’ of BI as people are demanding the same speed and ease-of-use from their workplace software as ubiquitous applications have delivered in their personal life.
