Throughout the world, organizations are realizing that advanced intelligence capabilities consistently deliver substantial cost savings - with proactive insights on true threats, the intelligence to avoid false alarms, and the system and application availability required to preserve revenues and customer loyalty. While the benefits are clear, achieving them requires organizations to establish a formal cyber intelligence capability. This paper describes a proven, repeatable process with clearly established steps for setting up an in-house cyber security intelligence operation. It has been written to convey the fundamentals of intelligence operations, and will be most helpful to organizations still in the planning or initial stages of establishing an intelligence capability. Its content should also prove enlightening to organizations that find themselves struggling with the development and evolution of an existing intelligence capability.

In this whitepaper, Verisign has identified a set of best practices that enables organizations to keep pace with DDoS attacks while minimizing impact on business operations.

We've been so bombarded by computer viruses, worms, Trojan horses and other malware that we've become acclimated to their presence. We subscribe to an anti-virus (AV) offering and hope for the best. Trouble is, AV hasn't been keeping up. Studies show that even though most organizations use AV, more and more are succumbing to attacks. It's time to shift from the status quo to a new, more effective endpoint security approach, called intelligent whitelisting, which affords greater protection, productivity, and efficiency.

It's no secret: end users take huge security risks in order to get their jobs done. One of the biggest sources of information risk companies face is collaboration with externals. Companies can't operate without sharing sensitive information with strategic partners, regulatory authorities, board members, consultants, acquisition partners, contractors and legions of other individuals outside the corporate network. But without a safe means to do so, how do employees share sensitive documents? Too often, by sending email attachments or by signing up for online collaboration portals without regard to data protection, access control, service level, or security certification. How does business take advantage of the wealth of benefits that online document collaboration promises, while avoiding the compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of critical business information? This white paper by Michael Rasmussen, J.D., CCEP, OCEG Fellow, describes the risks introduced by current document sharing practices, and how compliance and IT security must work together to mitigate information risk while improving their organizations' efficiency and competitiveness.
