Software Compliance

Do you, at this moment, know if your company's sensitive customer, employee, IP and trade secret information is at risk to theft or compromise? Most organizations are constantly pressed by their clients, partners, directors, and auditors to confirm if their most valuable data is exposed, yet do not have the technology or expertise to answer even their most basic data security questions. Virtually every organization with proprietary or regulated data should read this data sheet to learn how to conduct a risk assessment that provides actionable intelligence on policy compliance, privileged user and insider activity, and potential targeted cyber attacks - with the additional ability to seamlessly evolve into a policy enforcement at any time.

As the latest data security statistics show, the probability that your clients' personally-identifiable information (PII) and sensitive financial data will be compromised by attackers has never been greater. Organizations must address the security around sensitive data despite the reputation of this process requiring heavy technology and expertise. From this data sheet you will learn how this process can now be successfully achieved through the the introduction of Managed Service for Information Protection (MSIP), the industry's first true managed service for information protection (MSIP) with no upfront hardware, software, or staffing costs.

Many organizations are challenged with finding a way to secure sensitive and proprietary data in the face of shrinking budgets, overstretched staff, and limited infrastructure. The costs, complexity and resources traditionally associated with implementing and sustaining these types of programs have proven to be too great for most organizations. The ability to implement a complete data security program has been afforded only to those organizations with expansive budgets and robust security and IT resources. This whitepaper explains how this problem can be solved through the introduction of Managed Service for Information Protection (MSIP), the industry's first true managed service for information protection (MSIP) with no upfront hardware, software, or staffing costs.

It's true that deploying B2B e-commerce platform involves many unique requirements not commonly found in B2C operations, such as incorporating a complex product port-folio, multiple distribution channels, and integrating with third party systems And yet, it's possible to complete an initial out-of-the-box B2B implementation within three months, if all the right critical path steps are followed. Additional features and functionality can be added after the initial launch, provided that the chosen out-of-the-box platform is designed to be used over the long run.

A robust configuration management database (CMDB) is the heart of a successful service knowledge management system. It is the faithful source of configuration details and relationships people rely on to manage services throughout their lifecycle. Like personal relationships, building and maintaining an effective CMDB is a commitment that requires care and attention to get the best value.

Proper management and accountability for the use of privileged accounts is not just a matter of bringing peace of mind to organizational leadership; it is also becoming a compliance obligation.

Please join Tom Kyte, of the AskTom column and Senior Technical Architect at Oracle, to learn about the threats every IT Database and Security administrator needs to be aware of. Tom will also discuss best practices for securing your databases.

The easier an organization makes life for an attacker, the more likely it is they will be hacked. It is imperative that SMBs, who often don't have the same resources to prevent attacks that large enterprises do, take stock of the digital walls guarding their environment and work to close any holes before attackers sneak through. This is where vulnerability scanning can bolster security defenses. As the saying goes, "To fail to plan is to plan to fail" and assessing security is a good first step in any security plan.

Information security has undergone a sea change in the past 10 years. Compliance mandates in the form of industry standards and Federal rules like NERC, FFIEC, HIPAA/HITECH and PCI-DSS are the new norm. To stay in compliance, IT teams need to be able to keep up with updatesand changes to existing mandates while also being prepared for new ones. To maximize efficiency, manage risk and reduce potential violations due to compliance failure, organizations need to implement security tools whose features support multiple specifications within and across different compliance frameworks.

While economic recovery is clearly in process, your capital and operational budgets are still extremely tight. At the same time, your maintenance organization is being pressured to take a stance of zero tolerance toward safety incidents while reducing maintenance costs and minimizing asset downtime. Read this in-depth Aberdeen Group report, based on responses from 117 executives of successful companies, to find out how best-in-class businesses are proactively managing these challenges. You'll learn these techniques for optimizing maintenance and operations-and more: creating a culture of collaboration among teams across your enterprise; empowering decision makers with appropriate, highly accurate metrics; and leveraging predictive management and analytics to manage assets throughout their life cycle.

There's a reason why the buzz around cloud computing never seems to die down. Concrete results are replacing the initial hype. Many organizations are taking advantage of private clouds which come with the accessibility of a public cloud and the security of a local server.

PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) is a pragmatic set of best practices and security measures that any organization must follow if they accept and handle cardholder data online. The standard encompasses network security, data protection, data encryption, system security, access control, ongoing monitoring and testing and security policy development.
