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 security and compliance issues need to be addressed to ensure sensitive data is safe in the cloud. Discover the cloud security challenges posed by Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) environments and explore how encryption, policies, separation of duties and key management successfully protect data at rest.

Advanced Persistent Threats (APT) are a type of customized malware made to complete a mission on a specific network. If your company is under an APT attack, there are two things you can be assured of: 1. The creator is out to steal your intellectual property 2. You won't detect it with typical security software APT missions have multiple stages; they are designed to stay hidden, adapt to unforeseen challenges, be updated for new missions, and can stay on your network forever. Cyber threats of this sophistication are newly emerging, and almost no company is prepared for them. But they can be stopped, if you know where and what to look for. In this white paper learn how an APT attack works, and what Verdasys' Digital Guardian technology platform can do to counter it.

WikiLeaks and Stuxnet have illustrated a few fundamental IT Security issues that have underscored the need for Total Security Intelligence to counter advanced threats and to detect anomalous behavior.

This white paper assesses the current cyber-threat environment and discusses the use of distributed cloud services as an effective means to protect against evolving, modern-day IT threats.

Recent, high-profile malware attacks have illustrated that even companies and government agencies with considerable security savvy are vulnerable to targeted attacks. What these organizations have in common is that the breaches - attributed to APT, or advanced persistent threats - were made public. However, the massive number of unknown breaches, including those still in effect, is impossible to know. But, there are steps organizations can take to thwart, if not completely evade, the likelihood of this new onslaught.

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.

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.
