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?

A key technical underpinning of the Cloud is the Application Programming Interface (API). APIs provide consistent methods for outside entities such as web services clients and desktop applications to interface with services in the Cloud. More and more, it will be through APIs that cloud data moves; however, the security and scalability of APIs are currently threatened by a problem called the password anti-pattern - the need for one API to collect and replay the password for a user at another API in order to access information on behalf of that user. OAuth defeats the password anti-pattern, creating a consistent, flexible identity and policy architecture for web applications, web services, devices, and desktop clients attempting tocommunicate with Cloud APIs.

The ongoing struggle to prevent hackers from breaching assets and malware from gaining a foothold requires a vulnerability management strategy that begins with a comprehensive measurement of security risk. Organizations must examine the entire IT stack, including the operating system, network, applications, and databases. These new technologies include dynamic, virtualized environments and services outside traditional physical IT infrastructures, such as virtualized, cloud-based services and social networking.

Although distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks have become a mainstay of hackers' arsenals, their profile has changed considerably in the past year or so, making them an even greater threat to companies that conduct business online or have significant investments in their online brand and reputation. DDoS attacks are larger, stealthier, more targeted, and more sophisticated than ever. 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.

An active DNS management strategy is increasingly important to enterprises due to the addressing and security complexities inherent in recent industry trends, most notably the transition to cloud computing and the adoption of IPv6. In this report, Yankee Group Research outlines the pros and cons of in-house, ISP and managed service provider DNS management options.

It's pretty easy for organizations to get so wrapped up about what goes out on USB drives that they forget to protect against what comes in their environments via USB. And with attacks inflicting increasingly greater damage following uncontrolled connection, it's time that organizations got serious about this threat. The key to USB security is balancing productivity with protection.

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.

The 2012 State of the Endpoint study sponsored by Lumension® and conducted by Ponemon Institute is the third annual study to determine how effective organizations are in the protection of their endpoints and what they perceive are the biggest obstacles to reducing risk. The study focused on four topics on the state of endpoint security: risk, productivity, resources and com­plexity. The findings are presented in this report.
