Organizations across the globe continue to experience compromised data caused by malicious attacks, web application vulnerabilities or unauthorized changes. These organizations are also challenged to remain in compliance by the proliferation of diverse databases and platforms distributed across the enterprise -including cloud, commercial, OLTP and batch environments. IBM® InfoSphere® solutions for data security and privacy are designed to support a holistic approach, helping organizations protect its data against a complex threat landscape while remaining focused on business goals. Because the InfoSphere solutions are scalable and modular, organizations can focus on their most critical data protection concerns first, and then adopt other solutions over time. InfoSphere solutions for data security and privacy help your organization to: understand where the data exists; safeguard sensitive data, both structured and unstructured; protect production and non-production environments; secure and continuously monitor access to data; and demonstrate compliance to pass audits. View this demo and learn how IBM InfoSphere Guardium® database activity monitoring can help protect your sensitive data in distributed DBMS environments with a holistic approach to data security and compliance.

Data security presents a multi-dimensional challenge in today's complex IT environment. Multiple access paths and permission levels have resulted in a broad array of security threats and vulnerabilities. Traditional "fortress approaches" such as firewalls and IDS/IPS systems are no longer sufficient to defend against attackers who can easily bypass perimeter defenses. These security measures can't differentiate or prevent unauthorized traffic that appears to be legitimate. We invite you to read this new eBook: "Protecting against database attacks and insider threats" to learn the top five scenarios and essential best practices for preventing database attacks and insider threats.

For large enterprises, complying with privacy laws costs tens of millions of dollars and affects shareholder value and the bottom line. Yet, many are lax in protecting data. For example, when 57 unencrypted computer hard drives containing the personal health information of more than one million individuals was stolen from a leased facility in Tennessee, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Tennessee faced the consequences of violating the HIPAA Privacy and Security rules - to the tune of $1.5 million. The problem is exacerbated because federal and state legislation has different definitions, and often does not provide guidance as to how information should be safeguarded. But, there are policies and tools available to help CSOs assure their enterprise's risk profile is managed effectively.

The Enterprise Strategy Group has been actively following the information security market since 2003. During this timeframe, ESG has undertaken numerous surveys involving thousands of enterprise security professionals and conducted hundreds of interviews with CISOs and other senior security executives. Over the past few years, ESG has noticed change in the information security air. Since enterprises face a much more dangerous threat landscape, they are actively evolving historical tactical security defenses into a more formal information security management framework. Based upon this evolutionary trend, ESG developed a 4-phased security management maturity model.

The search for a viable replacement to Cisco's CSA has resulted in frustration for many CSA customers, either taking a backseat to other projects or wasting precious time and resources looking at inadequate solutions. Matrix gets it. Time and again we've seen existing CSA customers seeking the same levels of protection and control provided to them by CSA for years that they have been happy with and depended on. If you have just started your CSA replacement search or if you are frustrated after looking at and rejecting many products that claim that they can replace CSA and feel like giving up and accepting a poor replacement option you have found the right resource to help you. This white paper is intended as a roadmap for CSA users to identify the key features of CSA that they must have in a replacement security product and the best available options including StormShield the new leader in endpoint behavioral protection.

NBC News. Steve Wozniak. Sarah Palin-all victims of social media hacks. It goes without saying that the ubiquity of social media apps is creating concern amongst enterprise infosec organizations with respect to the measure they take to manage use of the applications across their workforces. Join Tyler Shields as he explores how enterprises can mitigate the security concerns that stem from these social media applications. Mr. Shields will also explore the motivations for these hacks-- Defamation of brand? Or a Trojan horse for IT and Infosec professionals-distracting them from the real breaches and threats to ensue?

With the DroidDream malware discovery in March, and then Pandora's vulnerabilities identified in April, the inevitable happened: 2011 become the 'year of mobile malware'. All the pieces of the malware ecosystem puzzle that researchers have been warning about are falling into place. Modern mobile applications run on devices that have the functionality of a desktop or laptop running a general-purpose operating system. While many of the risks are similar to those of traditional spyware, Trojan software, and insecurely designed apps, mobile devices aren't just small computers. They're designed around personal and communication functionality which makes the top mobile application risks different from the top traditional computing risks. In this presentation, Veracode's Vice President of Security Research, Chris Eng, will outline the Top 10 Mobile Application Risks, designed to educate developers and security professionals about the mobile application behavior - both maliciously- designed or inadvertent - putting users at risk.

Data leakage is a critical issue for CIOs. Companies are hitting the headlines for all the wrong reasons and human error is one of the biggest culprits. Organizations that get a firm grip on who's handling their data - as well as how and way - can mitigate the risk of sensitive data leakage and resultant reputation damage. Contextual information management solutions allow you to identify, monitor and protect data in use and in motion through deep content inspection, delivering context-aware security analysis and real time, multi-layered control.
