Combining Cloud-Based DDoS Protection and Managed DNS Services to Thwart Large Attacks. [ Source: Verisign ]
May 2013-
As businesses continue to move critical
operations online, distributed denial of service
(DDoS) attacks are increasing in frequency,
sophistication and range of targets. In a 2011
Verisign study, 63 percent of respondents
reported experiencing at least one attack that
year, while 51 percent reported revenue loss
as a result of downtime from the attack. Those
numbers are undoubtedly higher today as
the size, frequency and complexity of DDoS
attacks continue to grow.
Mitigation against these types ...

DDoS and Downtime Considerations for Risk Management [ Source: Verisign ]
May 2013- While most enterprise risk managers are accustomed to addressing regulatory compliance, data integrity and data privacy within an IT risk management framework, many have not fully accounted for IT availability as it relates to business continuity. Even risk managers who do consider IT availability may focus only on operational and environmental threats (e.g., human error, fires and floods) while overlooking distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks, which are one of the leading causes of ...

3 Strategies To Protect Endpoints From Risky Applications [ Source: Dell ]
May 2013- Though most organizations have invested considerable time and effort in improving their endpoint risk management processes, many of them are ill-equipped to handle the myriad of third-party applications that are increasingly introducing the most risk into today's IT environment. That's because as the typical IT organization has worked on reducing the risk profile of PC and server operating systems, cyber criminals have started to look for greener pastures - namely among third-party applications. This white ...

Protect Your Systems from Stealthy Attacks [ Source: McAfee ]
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 ...

Advanced Threat Landscape: What Organizations Need to Know [ Source: Bit9 ]
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 [ Source: Bit9 ]
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 ...

The State of APT Preparedness [ Source: Lumension ]
March 2013- 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 experts ...

Longline Phishing: The Rise of Email-Borne Threats and the Cloud [ Source: Proofpoint ]
March 2013-
The last few years have seen a dramatic increase in the use of email as a vehicle for cyberattacks on organizations and large corporations.
Such attacks have evolved from the simple inclusion of malware as a non-disguised executable file, to more socially engineered "phishing"style attacks, which attempt to persuade the recipient voluntarily provide valid security credentials-often simply by clicking a link that leads to a malicious or fraudulent website.
But how can ...

The State of DDoS Protection: Organizations Remain Unprepared for DDoS Attacks [ Source: Neustar ]
December 2012-
Distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks continue to grow in size, complexity and danger. Witness the recent wave of attacks on major U.S. banks, which knocked websites offline, angered customers and took a grave toll on brand reputations. The lessons of those attacks echo the findings of this report: Previously successful DDoS mitigation solutions no longer work.
