CyberArk’s threat report provides an expert’s vantage point into targeted cyber attacks by tapping into the experiences of seasoned threat investigators at five firms including RSA -The Security Division of EMC renowned for detecting, analyzing and remediating serious cyber security incidents.

Organizations’ incident readiness and response often falls short in ten areas that span people, processes and technology. By tackling these shortcomings, security professionals can reduce risk by providing early warnings of potential problems, rather than scrambling to chase the latest threat.

A technology revolution is underway in security to help information security teams combat advanced cyber threats more effectively, despite resource constraints. A new generation of security tools uses innovative techniques to collect and analyze massive amounts of data: data from computers, mobile devices and servers; data from internal networks, including the composition and contents of transmitted packets; and data from external sources about attacks on other organizations and the methods… Show more

The boundaries have blurred between internal and external networks. Employees increasingly use their own devices, home networks and public Wi-Fi to log into work. Partners, customers and vendors have greater access to corporate-run IT resources, and the integration of private networks with public clouds has culminated in hybrid clouds with dynamic and complex boundaries. In a world where digital boundaries are ever-changing and hard to define, building higher walls and stronger perimeter… Show more

The boundaries have blurred between internal and external networks. Employees increasingly use their own devices, home networks and public Wi-Fi to log into work. Partners, customers and vendors have greater access to corporate-run IT resources, and the integration of private networks with public clouds has culminated in hybrid clouds with dynamic and complex boundaries. In a world where digital boundaries are ever-changing and hard to define, building higher walls and stronger perimeter defenses, while still necessary, are inadequate to ensure security.

Combating cyberattacks on law firms is complicated by the lack of hard information and the shadowy nature of perpetrators. But, reports Legal Business, law firm tech chiefs and security specialists agree the threat is rapidly growing

Today is a realization of an evolution that has been long past due since the days of the “Moonlight Maze” attacks in the late 1990s. What the security community has come to realize over the past decade is that the advanced threat is not just isolated to critical government systems, nor is it simply a matter of “one and done” attacks that have a single intent. This is why we’ve created RSA Next Generation Security Operations Center (SOC) design and implementation services approach.

RSA’s Peter Tran talks to Speaking of Security about new Advanced Cyber Defense Services being offered to help orgnanizations in North America and Europe create proactive strategies for defending their digital assets against a wide range of threats, and provide incident response expertise designed to help customers react aggressively to active attacks and critical incidents.

Determined cyber adversaries have proven over the past couple of years that they can defeat the protections of even the world’s most sophisticated security organizations. They’re compiling custom malware to evade signature-based detection tools such as antivirus scanners. They’re using social engineering techniques on unsuspecting employees to circumvent organizations’ perimeter defenses. They’re covering their tracks within systems and leveraging techniques they have perfected across multiple… Show more
