Identity Management

As rapid advances in technology move countries, institutions, and people closer together, they also shrink the distance between us and potential adversaries. Today’s organizations are at an ever increasing risk of having their sensitive data accessed by sophisticated and continuously evolving cyber attackers. In this segment of the RSA Advanced Threat Video Series, you’ll hear top leaders in the field of cyber security discuss the unique challenges of living in a virtually connected world. Discover why old security models are ineffective in today’s threat landscape and how to better protect your organization from an attack.

In this eBook, we look at recent advanced attacks and how they’ve targeted specific assets within a variety of industries. Our surveys show that security and IT professionals – and governments worldwide – are becoming increasingly aware of the dangers advanced threats pose to their endpoints, servers, domain controllers and virtual environments. Security models are evolving to address the unique characteristics of advanced threats that continue to go undetected by older, reactive security technologies.

SCADA-driven systems are found in all components of Critical National Infrastructure including energy power plants, electricity supply grids, chemical plants and other industrial systems. Where years ago these systems were connected via dial-up modem – with password security that at the time was highly resistant to attack – the current trend is to plug these devices into the Internet using a standard Ethernet connection – or worse yet, by WIFI or some other wireless protocol that lacks the encryption and authentication needed to prevent tampering. Thousands of SCADA-based systems accessible from the Internet have weak default privileged passwords “defending” them. Download this whitepaper to learn how to secure SCADA systems from cyber attacks.

New security threats demand a new approach to security management. Security teams need a security analytics architecture that can handle a much greater volume and wider scope of data than at present, not to mention provide them with tools to lead them quickly to the most pressing issues. They need threat intelligence, about the latest tools, techniques, and procedures in use by the attacker community, and the ability to track and manage the responses initiated as a result of the issues they identify

If you’re responsible for protecting digital information, you always face an uncertainty of never knowing where a threat can come from. And while an insider attack may well be rare, the consequence of an insider attack on the corporation’s data grows as fast as the data’s value grows. In a fully connected world, there are no private tragedies and so insider threat has truly come of age. In this white paper, Dr. Dan Geer, talks about the very real danger of insider threat and proposes successful strategies to help mitigate the risk of Insider Threat.

The old proverb states, revenge is a dish best served cold. Because of this, WikiLeaks or other sites of hactivism, while for the time being, seem to have died down in activity, should never be disregarded or viewed as a medium that has lost its effectiveness. In this white paper Dr. Dan Geer explains a scope of value on protecting data and the severity of insider threat and how to combat this potential threat, which surprisingly includes sharing data.

For the fifth year, we investigate the state of continuing education within the security industry, asking a range of experts about the value of certifications, and what those in leadership positions must know. Being up to date with current trends and developments is crucial from a knowledge development perspective, our experts find. But, communicating with the C-suite to procure the budget necessary for an effective program is equally as important. Also, we query a number of colleges and universities designated by the NSA and DHS as Centers of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance to tell us about their programs.

Understanding and knowing your data is the foundation for data security. Data discovery and classification are two essential, yet often overlooked, initiatives that lay the foundation for protecting data. This foundation — defining your data — is the first part of a three-part framework called the Data Security And Control Framework that Forrester created to help Security & risk (S&R) professionals adapt to the new data economy. This framework breaks data protection into three key areas: 1. defining the data; 2. dissecting and analyzing the data; and 3. defending the data.
