The importance of IT security to a business has never been greater. But often, investments are shelved or cutbacks are made. This can result in businesses unknowingly making compromises regarding their IT security. In this latest whitepaper from Kaspersky Lab, you’ll find useful facts, examples and business case arguments to help you get buy-in and commitment from your business.

It is no illusion that the complexity and diversity of security risks is on the rise, putting more businesses than ever at risk. In fact, 91% of organizations have experienced a direct cyber threat in the last year, and 40% of businesses do not feel prepared for the threats around them. What is the reality of the security landscape today? How can you prepare yourself for targeted attacks? How can you develop consistent and effective policies that improve your security position? Find the answers to these questions and more in this comprehensive security white paper. Inside you'll find survey analysis, discover trends, and learn more about what you need to know when it comes to security management.

In cyber space, foreign actors – motivated by a desire to close the gap with Western countries – can sit at a computer and glean huge amounts of information quickly, remotely and often without detection for months or even years. Nation-states can now skip over costly and time-consuming R&D by stealing corporate and government data and turning that information into a competitive advantage. American companies that believe they are immune from cyber attacks are deluding themselves. Any organization with something of value is a potential target. Further compounding the problem is the fact that some American employees will provide information for money or because they seek revenge. Economic espionage is now so potentially costly and damaging to companies that executives must make information security an intrinsic part of corporate governance.

Approaching risk management and security the right way means incorporating vulnerability assessment into every day processes. To be successful and efficient, you should know what vulnerabilities you face and how extreme and important each one is - basically, have a complete view of your vulnerability assessment landscape. Having such comprehensive knowledge of the threats facing your organization sounds complex and daunting, but it shouldn’t be. There is a way to get a handle on all of this – knowing what you need to protect your network.

In today’s far-reaching environments, where the numbers and varieties of servers, desktops, laptops, mobile devices and specialized equipment such as point-of-sale (POS) devices, ATMs and self-service kiosks—known collectively as “endpoints”—are growing at unprecedented rates, traditional protection schemes such as firewalls and anti-virus agents are no longer sufficient on their own. With rapidly increasing numbers of remote workers and mobile devices, there is no well-defined perimeter. The perimeter, by necessity, must be the endpoint itself.

IBM Security Privileged Identity Manager helps organizations to securely manage and track the activities of privileged users, thereby reducing the risk of breaches, improving compliance and ensuring accountability.

Keeping track of 10,000+ of anything is a management nightmare. With ongoing compliance oversight and evolving security attacks against vulnerable endpoint devices, getting a handle on managing endpoints becomes more important every day. Complicating matters is the fact that ‘endpoints’ now include all sorts of devices – including a variety of PCs, mobiles, and even kiosks and other fixed function devices. We detailed our thoughts on endpoint security fundamentals a few years back, and much of that is still very relevant. Butwe didn’t take it to the next logical step: a deeper look at how to buy these technologies.

While identity managers have come a long way in recent years, they are still challenged to detect and protect identity and authenticate users. According to a recent study, on average, computer users employ four or five passwords per day, 61 percent use the same password across multiple platforms, and 44 percent change their password only once per year, or less. Further, the study found that 21 percent of respondents were the victim of an online compromise. There is little doubt that password hygiene and user awareness around security issues among user groups of all kinds is incomplete. And, with so many ways to quietly crack the code designed to keep them out, cyber thieves have grown adept at finding what they need to gain access without the victim recognizing the compromise. But, as experts point out in this new ebook from SC Magazine, identity and authentication management is rapidly changing to compensate for this inadequacy.

This white paper explains how advanced, targeted malware attacks bypass traditional security approaches, and why advanced endpoint protection techniques are required to secure corporate assets.
