Email Security

As a global leader in information solutions, Equifax holds one of the largest stores of consumer and commercial data—income data, unemployment data, asset and wealth data, property data, credit scores, and much more. As a result, security is of paramount importance to both Equifax and the people and organizations it serves.

Given the state of today’s security systems, most organizations are a long way from using these types of advanced technologies for security management. Security professionals need to get more value from the data already collected and analyzed. They also need a better understanding of both current issues and impending challenges related to data. Starting with a foundational set of data management and analytic capabilities enables organizations to effectively build and scale security management as the enterprise evolves to meet Big Data challenges.

In this white paper security computer security analyst and risk management specialist Dr. Dan Geer, talks about the paradigm shift in investing security for digital information from network and servers to the exploding expansion of endpoints, mobile and virtual environments. The Verizon’s Data Breach Report contains a single number more important than all others: three quarters of all data losses are discovered by unrelated third parties, from which one can inevitably infer that the victim’s network and infrastructure security regimes were neither effective nor relevant. This paper gives undisputed relevancy to investing in security beyond your standard network and servers.

Stopping denial of service attacks is imperative for business continuity, but the complexities of these attacks makes protecting the service infrastructure that much harder. McAfee recommends an integrated and layered approach.

By building in comprehensive security measures at the design and architectural phase of NGDC build outs, organizations can preemptively optimize business-critical service availability by minimizing potential downtime through greater resiliency. Forward-thinking enterprises that take this route are in a much better position to deploy new on-demand business services more quickly and safely while maintaining efficiencies.

Change control processes are often reactive and require manual responses, an ineffective approach to combating today’s threats and handling the growing number of devices in the IT infrastructure. The Security Connected approach from McAfee ensures that every desktop, server, application, network device, and database is in the scope of a change control solution, giving you critical visibility into who is using your systems and what activities are taking place.

Application whitelisting used in conjunction with existing antivirus solutions provides a strong defense against emerging threats like APT and targeted malware, and also contributes to reduced operational costs by controlling the sprawl of unauthorized applications.

Take the stealth, creativity, and patience of Stuxnet, the commercialism, wide distribution, and easy-to-use toolkits of Zeus, and you understand the potency of today’s malware. Start planning now to protect your intellectual property and other assets.

Many organizations still rely on security solutions with inherent limitations. Given the complexities of today’s database platforms and the sophistication of today’s cybercriminals, deploying a comprehensive and dedicated database security solution is a must. Here are five reasons why.

Instead of trading off employee preference and privacy against IT policies and priorities, enterprises can use data-centric security to accommodate all requirements. Download this whitepaper and move beyond the basic cost savings of BYOD to the advanced uses of mobile apps.

The ability to share services and information with various departments, partners, customers and other parts of the business ecosystem is a major advantage of cloud computing. As a result, successful cloud deployments hinge on securely and efficiently managing individuals’ access to resources, and protecting data from loss or corruption. From a legal and regulatory perspective, you must be able to control, monitor and report on who is accessing what cloud-based resources, and for what purpose. But the management of thousands, even millions, of individual IDs overwhelms most IT departments. IBM can help. IBM solutions enable clients to federate and centrally manage fine-grained access policies, and enforce them with security services in the cloud. In addition to enhancing cloud security, IBM solutions help reduce administration costs, ensure compliance and increase productive collaboration across the business environment.

One of the primary reasons for slow adoption of cloud is the perceived challenge around security. For EXA Corporation, an integrated set of IBM cloud solutions for automation, security and management is enabling the company to create a secure, hybrid private cloud solution that combines proprietary and external data centers. The solution has helped the company to reduce costs and improve disaster resiliency, offer secure cloud-based services to its customers with confidence, and improve flexibility and scalability of its IT environment.

In today’s business environments, mobile devices make up the fastest growing segment of computing devices—outpacing desktop and laptop computers. As more employees prefer to use mobile devices in the workplace, organizations are rapidly moving towards a bring-your-owndevice (BYOD) model—allowing employees to use their own mobile devices for business purposes. This often leads to employees having a mix of corporate and personal applications on the same device, which gives the security team less control over devices that can access corporate networks. As a result of the increase in wireless devices in the workforce, organizations are becoming more concerned with mobile security. Many, in fact, see this area as a primary technology challenge to address and a main focus for security initiatives.

In complex organizations with sprawling role structures, managing user access and entitlements can be overwhelming. As part of an effective strategy for identity and access management governance, role management is a powerful method with which to strengthen and streamline the management process.

To find out how the integrated Role and Policy Modeler component of IBM Security Identity Manager is designed to address these issues, download the IBM white paper, “Intelligent role management for improved security and compliance ,” today.

In this paper, ENTERPRISE MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATES® (EMA™) analysts describe the nature of identity and access intelligence and the factors that are driving this important aspect of security evolution. Learn how Identity and Access Intelligence helps organizations rethink thier defense against a wide range of threats, cope with mobile and cloud security challenges and proactively protect sensitive IT assets.
