The document summarizes the key findings of the 2014 Global State of Information Security Survey conducted by PwC. It finds that while organizations have made improvements in security, they have not kept pace with today's sophisticated adversaries. As a result, many rely on outdated security practices that are ineffective against current threats. The survey also finds that security budgets and detected incidents are increasing, but costs per incident are rising as well. Leaders are more proactive in security and better able to detect and understand incidents. However, more work is still needed to address issues like mobile security, cloud services, and the growing insider threat.

Meet the New IBM i2 QRadar Offense Investigator App and Start Threat Hunting ...IBM Security
When your cyber security is under attack, knowing who is behind your threats and what their motives are can help you ensure those threats don't become a reality. But cyber threat actors conduct their threats through a variety of means and for a variety of reasons. That's why it is critical to analyze a variety of data sources and proactively hunt those threats that are lying in wait. This webinar will illustrate how the IBM i2 QRadar Offense Investigator app enables analysts to push event data from QRadar directly into IBM i2 Analyst's Notebook, where users can apply a variety of visual analysis techniques across a disparate data sources, to build a more comprehensive understand of those threats and hunt them.
The 2018 IDG Cloud Computing study was conducted to measure cloud computing trends among technology decision-makers, which includes their usage and plans across various cloud service and deployment models, investments, business drivers and impact on business strategy and plans.
This document discusses security metrics and how they can be used to measure an organization's security posture over time. It begins by explaining why security metrics are important for benchmarking security investments, ensuring compliance, and identifying security issues. It then defines what a security metric is and provides examples of common metrics. The document outlines best practices for deciding which metrics to collect, how to collect them, and how metrics can be used to perform effective risk analysis and demonstrate the financial impact of security. It also provides a hypothetical example of creating security metrics for a point-of-sale system and calculating a risk score. Finally, it discusses challenges with security metrics and provides references for further reading.

How can i find my security blind spots ulf mattsson - aug 2016Ulf Mattsson
Security Blind Spots
We need to automatically detect and report on security blind spots, including Sensitive Data that was not found in our initial Discovery and failures of deployed security control systems. Without formal and automated processes to detect and alert to new data discovery findings and critical security control failures as soon as possible, the window of time grows that allows attackers to identify a way to compromise the systems and steal sensitive data. This can also impact our real compliance posture.
This document discusses how advanced network forensics can help security teams investigate cyber attacks more effectively. It describes how IBM's QRadar Incident Forensics solution allows organizations to (1) retrace an attacker's steps through raw packet data reconstruction, (2) speed up investigations by indexing network activity into searchable information, and (3) give security teams better visibility into security incidents through a simplified search interface.

With malware attacks growing more sophisticated, swift, and dangerous by the day — and billions of dollars spent to combat them — surprisingly few organizations have a grip on the problem. Only 20 percent of security professionals surveyed by Information Security Media Group (ISMG) rated their incident response program “very effective.” Nearly two-thirds struggle to detect APTs, limiting their ability to defend today’s most pernicious threats. In addition, more than 60 percent struggle with the speed of detection, and more than 40 percent struggle with the accuracy of detection. Those shortcomings give attackers more time to steal data and embed their malware deeper into targeted systems.

How the latest trends in data security can help your data protection strategy...Ulf Mattsson
Data breaches are on the rise. The constant threat of cyber attacks combined with the high cost and a shortage of skilled security engineers has put many companies at risk. There is a shift in cybersecurity investment and IT risk and security leaders must move from trying to prevent every threat and acknowledge that perfect protection is not achievable. PCI DSS 3.2 is out with an important update on data discovery and requirements to detect security control failures.
In this webinar, cybersecurity expert Ulf Mattsson will highlight current trends in the security landscape based on major industry report findings, and discuss how we should re-think our security approach.
McAfee Labs explores top threats expected in the coming year.
Welcome to the McAfee Labs 2017 Threats Predictions
report. We have split this year’s report into two sections.
The first section digs into three very important topics,
looking at each through a long lens.
The second section makes specific predictions about
threats activity in 2017. Our predictions for next year
cover a wide range of threats, including ransomware,
vulnerabilities of all kinds, the use of threat intelligence
to improve defenses, and attacks on mobile devices.
The document discusses establishing an effective threat intelligence program. It outlines the different types of threat intelligence and sources of intelligence information. It emphasizes that the goal of a threat intelligence program is to translate information into useful insights for decision makers. An important part of setting up the program is defining its scope and goals based on the organization's risk profile and appetite. The program's value should be measured by how intelligence has helped improve the organization's threat posture and incident response capabilities.
The top challenges to expect in network security in 2019 survey report Bricata, Inc.
The Bricata team conducted a survey to ask cybersecurity professionals about the challenges and opportunities they face in network security.
64% of respondents say network security is harder this year as compared to last and for a range of reasons. This includes the sophistication of threats, but also the proliferation of IT infrastructure and the complexity of environments given that changes stemming from cloud, IoT and BYOD, among others.
While insider threats (44%) and IT infrastructure (42%) topped the list of network security challenges no single topic drew a simple majority. Lack of leadership support, security technology interoperability, shadow IT, BYOD and the deluge of security alerts were among the top 10.
Most organizations used between 1-10 tools for the purpose of network security. About one-third of respondents said these tools were not integrated, while another 28% said these tools were just somewhat integrated. No respondents indicated tools in their environment were completely integrated.
About a quarter (26%) of respondents say their organization receives 1,000 or more security alerts per day. More importantly, the vast majority (84%) say these require 5 or more minutes each to triage. “A decent number of false-positives waste quite a bit of time,” wrote one respondent. “On the other hand, some alerts are- -critical, but we are missing vital information, which we then spend ages trying to locate.” Some admit they just can’t review all alerts.
While just about one-third (32%) say they are doing threat hunting today – a majority (61%) of respondents believe that threat hunting will be either more important or much more important in the next 12 months.
Security analytics, security integration and behavioral analysis were the top three areas of security respondents said organizations should focus on over the next year. Interestingly, collaboration out ranked machine learning and AI as a recommended area of focus.
Some 34% of respondents said the relationship between security and DevOps is strong, while 27% said it isn’t. By contrast, 51% of respondents said the relationship between security and the business is strong, while 22% said it isn’t.
The pace and scale of technology advancements have created extraordinary avenues for businesses to grow. But with opportunities come risks, which need to be constantly navigated. Read this blog to uncover the top 5 cybersecurity trends to watch out for in 2021 and beyond.

InfoSec: Evolve Thyself to Keep Pace in the Age of DevOpsVMware Tanzu
Companies going through digital transformation initiatives need their IT organizations to support an increased business tempo. While DevOps practices have helped IT increase their pace to keep up with market dynamics, security teams still need to follow suit.
InfoSec practitioners must modernize their practices to realize efficiencies in some of their most burdensome processes, like patching, credential management, and compliance.
By embracing a ‘secure by default’ posture security teams can position themselves as enabling innovation rather than hindering it.
Join Pivotal’s Justin Smith and guest speaker, Fernando Montenegro from 451 Research, in a conversation about how security can enable innovation while maintaining best security practices. They will examine best practices and cultural shifts that are required to be secure by default, as well as the role processes and platforms play in this transition.

Why You’ll Care More About Mobile Security in 2020 - Tom BainEC-Council
What is “mobile security?” Seriously, what is it? Is it hardening controls, policy enforcement, knowing how to test mobile apps, mobile antivirus? And how do I map mobile security into an enterprise security strategy?
A year later, it’s still as ubiquitous as it has ever been. However with the sophistication of device-based attacks and with the sheer volume of mobile malware exploding, mobile security maintains its status as a major pain point and a critical element you have to consider when building a security program.
Given the research available and the increasing threatscape, mobile security preparedness predicated on managing the strategy is a better option than reactionary measures. What’s new in 2015 is there is more sufficient evidence that mobile attacks will further penetrate enterprise systems based on the increase of mobile device ‘involvement’ in many major hacks (not necessarily root cause traced to devices or compromised mobile apps)
This presentation will discuss the key trends impacting mobile security and will lay out an updated set of building blocks to produce a holistic mobile security model: from BYOD to mobile policy development to MDM; common and emerging exploits and targeted malware; the myriad of possible mitigations; and the notion of trusted software vs device-specific consideration.
Additionally, before we look at policy implementation best practices, we’ll look at a few key use cases and review a few sample enterprise models to learn how some of top organizations are managing mobile security. Finally, the presentation will take a five-year look outward to determine what impact mobile security will have long-term.
This document discusses a potential cybersecurity assessment for a customer by a SAM and cloud partner. It provides an overview of what a cybersecurity assessment entails and the benefits it could provide to both partners and customers. For partners, it is an opportunity to strengthen relationships with customers and discuss additional cloud and software opportunities. For customers, an assessment establishes good security practices, prepares their environment to respond to threats, and helps minimize cyber risks and their related costs. The document then outlines UnifyCloud's tools and services that can help customers assess, remediate, and monitor their environment as they migrate workloads to the cloud with Microsoft solutions like Office 365 and Azure.

Security in an Interconnected and Complex World of SoftwareMichael Coates
Michael Coates discusses security challenges in today's complex software world. Cybercrime costs over $100 billion annually. Most data breaches are caused by hacking rather than accidents. The security landscape is evolving with new technologies like cloud computing and the internet of things. Traditional security approaches like standards and hiring more people do not scale well. Instead, security needs to be integrated throughout the entire software development lifecycle and automated where possible to effectively secure systems at the speed and scale of modern development.
The Next Generation of Security Operations Centre (SOC)PECB
The document discusses the key aspects of building a next generation Security Operations Centre (SOC). It emphasizes that skilled people, well-defined processes, and integrating new technologies are critical. Specifically, it recommends adopting automation and analytics to analyze large datasets, integrating threat intelligence from multiple sources, and establishing red and blue teams to continuously test defenses. The goal of a next generation SOC is to use predictive analysis of vast security data to improve threat detection, response, and the overall security posture of an organization.

• Bull Case
• Several more high profile network security breaches bring even more public
scrutiny to the issue
• Check Point recently introduced mobile security software experiences
widespread adoption
•Government legislature requires stronger security measures
• Bear Case
• Check Point fails to distinguish itself from its competitors in the future
• Cyber security importance diminishes in the eyes of the public and
corporations due to a decline in breaches
• Unable to generate demand for mobile security
• Our Case
• More and more businesses are compelled to further their cyber security
solutions in order to preempt a breach
• Data will continue to grow at or above the current rate in which it is being
created, causing an increasing need for data security
• Hackers continue developing sophisticated new forms of malware and

23. Company & Industry Risk
Check Point Software Technologies (NASDAQ: CHKP)
Risk Analysis
• Industry Risk
• Check Point competes in a very competitive industry and this is only expected
to grow in the future. They are also relatively small compared to companies like
Cisco and Microsoft that offer their own security solutions even though they may
not specialize in them. All network security companies are competing on a daily
basis against the hackers that wish to breach enterprise, government, and
individual files.
• Company Risk
• Check Point spends a lot of money researching and developing new security
solutions. If products such as their recently introduced mobile security software
fail, they will be losing out on a large and important market as well as suffering in
sales. All firms are constantly under attack and hackers might see the irony in
breaching Check Point’s databases which would lead to a large loss in
confidence. Check Point runs the risk of falling behind it’s competitors as well.
