In this Tech Digest, Dark Reading shares the experiences of some top security practitioners as they navigate volumes of security data. System logs, security tools, network telemetry, endpoint, and mobile reports may all provide clues that help reveal a cyberattack. We examine some examples of how enterprises can cull this data to find the clues they need.

Whether it’s customer lists, intellectual property, or a secret recipe, your mission-critical data is what makes your organization unique – the lifeblood of your enterprise. Yet, with one shrewd exploit, an online attacker – or even one of your own employees – could break the security of that critical information. What steps should you be taking to protect it?

Strategies For Protecting Mission-Critical Data, a free, all-day online conference produced by the editors of Dark Reading, offers a look at the latest tools, strategies, and best practices for protecting your organization’s most sensitive data. You’ll get insight on how to store critical information securely, and how to ensure its security when it is passed across networks. Top security experts will discuss data encryption strategies, on-premises infrastructure defenses, and how to protect mission-critical data across cloud services, network providers, and partner/supplier environments. You’ll get expert viewpoints and recommendations on how to protect your mission-critical data, and advice on how to identify and protect sensitive data that might be handled outside the IT department’s knowledge or control.

Among the topics that will be covered at Strategies for Protecting Mission-Critical Data:

• Processes and best practices for identifying sensitive data across the enterprise
• Tips and tools for ensuring that even “trusted users” cannot access or exfiltrate important data without authorization
• The latest technologies and strategies for protecting on-premises infrastructure, including networks, servers, and storage systems
• Strategies for encrypting sensitive information, both in storage and in motion across networks
• Methods for ensuring that business partners handle sensitive information as securely as your own users
• Recommendations for working with cloud operators and other service providers to ensure the security of data traveling across their networks
• Special steps you can take to provide extra protection for your most essential data and information

Security leaders are struggling to understand their organizations' risk exposure. While many are confident in their security strategies and processes, they're also more concerned than ever about getting breached.

Dark Reading's annual 2019 Strategic Security survey reveals that many companies are uncertain about their data breach exposure because of growing threat sophistication, increasing attack volumes, and many other factors. A high percentage of IT leaders see employees as presenting as big a breach risk as external cybercriminals and nation-state actors.

Dark Reading's 2019 Malware and Threat Report shows that cybercriminals have ramped up their attack volumes sharply-- especially those involving phishing attempts, ransomware, and business email compromise (BEC). The constant pummeling is putting new strain on risk assessment and threat response processes in many organizations.

This report based on our 2019 survey reveals a high level of concern over several new and emerging threats, including attacks on cloud service providers, BEC scams, and attacks that use artificial intelligence techniques. For many organizations, risk assessment and response prioritization continue to be major challenges, and respondents are becoming frustrated by their vulnerability to human errors and negligence.

Concerns over nation-state actors and other security threats are driving enterprises to rethink the way they collect and analyze cybersecurity data. A high percentage of organizations are seeking to augment their internal telemetry with external threat data so they can identify and respond to potential data compromises faster. However, collecting and analyzing threat intelligence is no easy task — early implementers report being slowed by manual data correlation and analysis processes.
