DDoS attacks can cause financial losses and reputational damage to businesses. To assess DDoS risk, a business needs to understand how its infrastructure, applications, and employees may be impacted. Expected annual losses from DDoS are calculated by estimating the potential loss from an attack and the likelihood of an attack. While some studies report thousands of DDoS attacks per year, these numbers are unreliable. Instead, a business should evaluate if it has characteristics, like an online presence or controversial profile, that motivate certain types of attacks.
How close is your organization to being breached | Safe SecurityRahul Tyagi
Traditional methods are certainly limited in
their capabilities and this is easily proven by
the multitude of breaches businesses were a
victim of, across the globe. The 2020 Q3 Data
Breach QuickView Report revealed that the
number of records exposed in 2020 has
increased to 36 billion globally. The report
stated that there were 2,953 publicly
reported breaches in the first three quarters
of 2020 itself! 2020 is already named the
“worst year on record” by the end of Q2 in
terms of the total number of records
exposed. With the growing sophistication of
cyber-attacks and global damages related
to cybercrime reaching $6 trillion by 2021, we
need a solution that simplifies
cybersecurity.

Managing risk is a balancing act for organizations of all sizes and disciplines. While some organizations take on too much risk, others arguably do not take on enough. Complicating this equation is the emergence of cyber as one of the most impactful sources of risk in the modern enterprise

To implement data-centric security, while simultaneously empowering your business to compete and win in today’s nano-second world, you need to understand your data flows and your business needs from your data. Begin by answering some important questions:
•
What does your organization need from your data in order to extract the maximum business value and gain a competitive advantage?
•
What opportunities might be leveraged by improving the security posture of the data?
•
What risks exist based upon your current security posture? What would the impact of a data breach be on the organization? Be specific!
•
Have you clearly defined which data (both structured and unstructured) residing across your extended enterprise is most important to your business? Where is it?
•
What people, processes and technology are currently employed to protect your business sensitive information?
•
Who in your organization requires access to data and for what specific purposes?
•
What time constraints exist upon the organization that might affect the technical infrastructure?
•
What must you do to comply with the myriad government and industry regulations relevant to your business?
Finally, ask yourself what a successful data-centric protection program should look like in your organization. What’s most appropriate for your organization?
The answers to these and other related questions would provide you with a clearer picture of your enterprise’s “data attack surface,” which in turn will provide you with a well-documented risk profile. By answering these questions and thinking holistically about where your data is, how it’s being used and by whom, you’ll be well positioned to design and implement a robust, business-enabling data-centric protection plan that is tailored to the unique requirements of your organization.

Who is the next target proactive approaches to data securityUlf Mattsson
The landscape of threats to sensitive data is changing. New technologies bring with them new vulnerabilities, and organizations like Target are failing to react properly to the shifts around them. What's needed is an approach equal to the persistent, advanced attacks companies face every day. The sooner we start adopting the same proactive thinking hackers are using to get at our data, the better we will be able to protect it.

Practical Advice for Cloud Data Security for Oracle
Learn about critical security issues in the Cloud in relation to databases
Learn about Cloud data security guidance and standards
Learn Cloud data security technologies, models and Cloud security in context to the enterprise
The rapid rise of cloud databases, storage and applications has led to unease among adopters over the security of their data. Whether it is data stored in a public, private or hybrid cloud, or used in third party SaaS applications, companies have good reason to be concerned.
In this session Protegrity CTO and data security thought leader Ulf Mattsson will focus on practical advice on what to look for in cloud service providers and a review of the technologies and architectures available to protect sensitive data in the cloud, both on- and off-site. Through real life use cases, Ulf will discuss solutions to some of the most common issues of usability, database indexing, database searches, separation of duties, key management, tokenization, compliance, privacy and security in the cloud environment.
DDoS Attacks Advancing and Enduring a SANS & Corero SurveyStephanie Weagle
Distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks continue to grow in frequency, sophistication and bandwidth. There are numerous reasons for this. These trends are supported by a new SANS survey on the state of DDoS readiness. In
the survey, 378 security and network managers reveal that they are experiencing more frequent and sophisticated DDoS attacks. The survey also reveals that many organizations are indeed not prepared to deal with the problem.
This paper discusses the question of optimizing security decisions in an organization, based on the information provided by the technical security infrastructure.

Today, the delegation of risk decisions to the IT team
cannot be the only solution and has to be a shared

customers. For the CROs, CISOs, and Security and Risk
Management Professionals to be on the same page,
there has to be a single source of truth for

business outcomes, in a language that everyone can
understand.
SANS 2013 Report: Digital Forensics and Incident Response Survey FireEye, Inc.
Cloud computing and bring-your-own-device (BYOD) workplace policies are expanding the endpoints in IT infrastructures — and more complexity when it comes to investigating cyber attacks. The SANS 2013 Report on Digital Forensics and Incident Response Survey reveals some of the major difficulties that security professionals face in this new environment and how to better prepare for future investigations. Collecting responses from more than 450 security professionals across a range of industries and company sizes, the survey found that nearly 90 percent of respondents had conducted at least one forensics investigation within the last two years. But just 54 percent called their digital forensics capabilities “reasonably effective.” For the latest threat intelligence reports, visit https://www.fireeye.com/current-threats/threat-intelligence-reports.html

Published in 2013 and refreshed in 2016. Observe that Panda Security’s Adaptive Defense approach has historically progressed in the right direction according to the analysis. Find questions from the report below and answers highlighted in the report itself.
Why a cloud-based, collective intelligence, big-data solution as Adaptive Defense?
Why do we have a huge opportunity ahead of us?
Why should we move faster that competitors?
Why Adaptive Defense is a cost-effective solution well positioned to face the shift From Control-Centric to People-Centric Security?
Why can we state that Adaptive Defense is a well-positioned solution to face the Shift Security Program Emphasis to Rapid Detection and Response?
What do Adaptive Defense monitoring and capabilities represent? How can ART help to understand the dynamics of an attack?
Adaptive Defense provides EPP+EDR capabilities into a single product already tested on the field, so it is a good answer for Gartner’s recommendations of this report?
