Employees frequently become unwitting participants in attacks, aiding the lateral movement of threats through the distribution of malicious URLS and attachments or the exposure of sensitive data. In this E-book, we’ll take a closer look into several email-related activities that employees often engage in that contribute to the spread of these insider (“hidden”) threats and then discuss what measures your organization can take to protect itself from these “hidden” threats.

Two-thirds of all internally generated email sent is from employees communicating within an organization*. Yet most IT organizations only focus on inbound email when it comes to protecting against cyber-attacks. In doing so, they ignore the serious risks posed by internal and outbound emails and the actions of two at risk groups of users - the compromised and careless employee. Mimecast Internal Email Protect extends the security capabilities of Targeted Threat Protection to provide advanced inside-the-perimeter defenses. Watch this on-demand webinar where Mimecast’s Chief Trust Officer, Marc French, and Cyber Security Strategist, Bob Adams discuss: The top things to do to optimize your Targeted Threat Protection implementation and prepare for addressing the threats on the inside. The multiple ways internal email threats start, and why human error nearly always plays a role. The scale and impact of attacks that spread via internal email. How to extend your current protection with Mim

Do you know what your employees are doing on your network? Do you know about the latest ransomware attack your security team is battling? How about your business partners? Are they secure? With all of these questions swirling around in your head, it’s hard to feel secure about network security. But there is one thing that could help: a solid plan. Perhaps you’re aware that your organization should have a formal incident response plan. Or maybe you already have one. But are you completely clear on all the components that should make up such a plan? Or what to do when things go wrong? Or how to get help when you need it? Over the next few pages, we’ll provide you with some insight to help you build and strengthen your organization’s incident response plan.

Mobile solutions can be insecure and risk-prone. With MobileIron Threat Defense, healthcare organizations can immediately determine if a user’s mobile device is compromised, if any network attacks are occurring, and if malicious apps are installed on the device.

The types of threats targeting enterprises are vastly different than they were just a couple of decades ago. This paper examines some current mobile threat defense approaches to help organizations understand where traditional solutions may fall short — and how machine learning-based threat defense can expand upon those capabilities by providing immediate, on-device protection against mobile attacks.

Downtime Is Not an Option: High Availability Next Generation Firewall Access to applications, data, and resources on the Internet is mission-critical for every organization. Downtime is unacceptable. Security for that network must also be highly available and not cause performance degradation of the network. The increased workload of security devices as they analyze traffic and defend users from malicious attacks strains computing resources. The next generation of security solutions must build in high availability that can scale as the business changes. Download this whitepaper to find out how high availability is at the core of the Forcepoint NGFW (Next Generation Firewall).

"Security threats come in a variety of different forms — from network to web and app attacks. As these form factors continue to morph, they often evade traditional security measures, leaving organizations scrambling to protect their digital ecosystem. With a comprehensive end-to-end security solution, your organization can securely deliver the apps and data your teams need to be productive. Check out our e-book and discover: - Why a holistic security approach is crucial - What a new security approach looks like - How Citrix solutions provide security across your entire stack"

"Ransomware is one of the biggest nightmares facing IT today. Hackers are targeting organizations of all kinds with malware designed to encrypt crucial data—and hold it hostage until payment is made. This white paper reveals four highly effective measures for reducing your exposure to ransomware and keeping your apps and data accessible to authorized users—not hackers and their clients. Download this white paper to learn how to: - Shield users of web apps from infection and keep sensitive data off the endpoint - Prevent email-born ransomware from compromising the endpoint - Protect mobile devices against attack - Ensure the rapid recovery of ransomware-encrypted data"

Threat intelligence done right is a window into the world of your adversary. Vendors and service providers are aiming to empower organizations by alerting them to the specific threat vectors and attacks they face, as well as how they should be prioritized for protection and prevention. Download this whitepaper which gives you an overview of 11 things for organization to consider when evaluating and selecting a threat intelligence solution.

When it comes to processing information, one full security event read by a machine is equal to just 10 words read by a human analyst, on average. Even the slightest delay can mean the difference between attack and action. Find out how you can connect the dots to rapidly reveal unknown threats before they impact your business, and respond to security alerts 10 times faster.

IdentityIntact for Business presents a comprehensive review of how your business can be better protected from data breach attacks by cyber thieves.

Verisign has a unique view into distributed denial of service (DDos) attack trends, including attack statistics, behavioral trends and future outlook. The below data contains observations and insights about attack frequency and size derived from mitigations enacted on behalf of customers of Verisign DDoS Protection Services from January through March 2017.

This white paper published by Frost & Sullivan and Cisco examines the role, capabilities, and advantages of service providers in the DDoS mitigation process, as well as how this role might develop in the future.

Healthcare accounts for 21% of all cybersecurity breaches, making it the most affected business sector in the U.S. economy. Ongoing attacks are predicted to cost providers $305 billion in lifetime revenue over the next few years. Download this white paper to learn how to make healthcare cybersecurity stronger.

What if defenders could see the future? If they knew an attack was coming, they could stop it, or at least mitigate its impact and help ensure what they need to protect most is safe. The fact is, defenders can see what’s on the horizon. Many clues are out there—and obvious. The Cisco 2018 Annual Cybersecurity Report presents our latest security industry advances designed to help organizations and users defend against attacks. We also look at the techniques and strategies that adversaries use to break through those defenses and evade detection. The report also highlights major findings from the Cisco 2018 Security Capabilities Benchmark Study, which examines the security posture of enterprises and their perceptions of their preparedness to defend against attacks.

Security is a looming issue for businesses. The threat landscape is increasing, and attacks are becoming more sophisticated. Emerging technologies like IoT, mobility, and hybrid IT environments now open new business opportunity, but they also introduce new risk. Protecting servers at the software level is no longer enough. Businesses need to reach down into the physical system level to stay ahead of threats. With today’s increasing regulatory landscape, compliance is more critical for both increasing security and reducing the cost of compliance failures. With these pieces being so critical, it is important to bring new levels of hardware protection and drive security all the way down to the supply chain level. Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) has a strategy to deliver this through its unique server firmware protection, detection, and recovery capabilities, as well as its HPE Security Assurance.

An optimized hybrid IT infrastructure enables innovative business outcomes—but rapid IT transformation also creates new risks, threats and vulnerabilities. Coupled with increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks and complex regulatory pressures, managing risk in today’s digital environment becomes even more critical to the enterprise.
