Mission critical defense
[ Source: HP ]
May 2013-
Attackers don't work in silos. To defend against them, your defenses can't be siloed either. The teams, tools, and solutions you use in the response must be quick, decisive, and adaptive. Disparate teams must come together; information must be shared; and, it all must happen in near real time. Read this white paper and learn how to respond to attacks and how to mitigate risks as efficiently and effectively as possible.

May 2013-
Today's anti-malware solutions running as applications above the operating system are no match for the stealth techniques used by today's malware developers. Hardware-assisted security products like McAfee Deep Defender take advantage of a "deeper" security footprint.
Researchers discover an average of 2,000 rootkits each day, according to McAfee® Labs™. Rootkits are an increasingly common form of malware built explicitly to hide malicious code. Once installed, a rootkit conceals itself and looks innocent ...
Protect Your Systems from Stealthy Attacks

May 2013-
The most menacing type of cyberattack is invisible. Using sophisticated techniques to hide its presence, a stealth attack may operate outside of the OS or move dynamically across endpoints to conceal the attackers' actions. The risk to enterprises is real, with high-profile attacks such as Operation High Roller impacting companies around the globe. Traditional antivirus or intrusion prevention systems are no match for this new breed of attack; instead, enterprises need layered security controls that ...

New vulnerabilities are discovered at a rapid rate, so in order to discover and defend against them, companies conduct vulnerability scanning. However, the frequency and coverage of scans provide increasing challenges for some organizations. Active scanning can be disruptive if conducted excessively, and there are some parts of the network that companies don't feel comfortable scanning at all. In order to address this problem, Skybox Security has introduced what it refers to as its next-generation ...

There are now millions of malware
variations to defend against and hundreds of perpetrators of DDoS attacks. Given the complex nature
of today's threats, enterprises can achieve a strategic advantage by employing a new layer of security
that is services based. Cloud-based services are an important aspect of this approach to security and
provide always-on monitoring without the added expense of buying and maintaining on-premise
equipment. Early detection can help manage breach notification and remediation ...
Advanced Threat Landscape: What Organizations Need to Know

April 2013-
In the wake of the numerous server data breaches reported this year, it is clear that traditional signature-based blacklisting security strategies are inadequate in addressing today's sophisticated cyber threats. Advanced threats are targeting servers to steal valuable corporate intellectual property. These attacks happen fast - in less than 15-20 minutes - and are bypassing traditional security tools.
In this whitepaper, Industry Analyst Frost and Sullivan examines today's advanced threat landscape and recommends that ...
Realistic Security, Realistically Deployed: Today's Application Control and Whitelisting

April 2013-
Historically, IT defense has focused largely on the threat. So-called "blacklist" technologies maintain an inventory of specific attack types, and provide defense against each. Today, the volume, variety and sophistication of attacks highlights the limitations of such approaches, as signature databases approach their upper limits and leave exploitable gaps in defense.
These changes in the threat landscape have led many organizations to consider the alternative to a blacklist approach. In contrast to blacklisting ...

Many IT security professionals recognize that advanced
persistent threats (APTs) pose a growing risk to their
organizations. However, recent UBM Tech research
discovered that only a few are taking the necessary
steps to combat APTs and protect their organizations.
In fact, many appear to have a misplaced sense of
confidence in their ability to detect these attacks, even
though few have developed strategies for dealing with
them. This gap is particularly troubling since security
