1) SMBs are vulnerable through connections between private networks and the public internet, such as employee laptops on public WiFi networks. Even large companies with extensive security can overlook these connections.
2) All businesses should implement basic protections like updated antivirus software, a firewall, and intrusion detection to prevent attacks. Additionally, they should back up data regularly and have a business continuity plan in case of an attack.
3) For more advanced needs, SMBs should consider working with a managed security provider so they can focus on their business instead of security administration and get expert guidance on the right protections for their needs and budget.
Malicious software or “malware” is the biggest network security threat facing organizations today. Cybercriminals target enterprises that hold a great deal of money or conduct a high volume of transactions on a daily basis. A network intrusion can cost an organization as much as $5 million. And, the damage to a company’s reputation can be irreparable. Statistics show that if a major security breach occurs against a U.S. enterprise, that organization
has a 90 percent chance of going out of business within two years. This is particularly alarming considering that malware is currently the fastest growing trend in the misuse of network resources.
The variety and complexity of cyber attacks is increasing. The attackers have a strong economic and political motivation thus leading to organized and targeted attacks. We have concluded that intrusions are inevitable, and have focused on strategies to work through the attack while limiting the losses. Our approach, called Self Cleansing Intrusion Tolerance (SCIT), leads to the next generation of secure servers. SCIT shifts the focus from intrusion avoidance to reducing the losses resulting from an intrusion. This additional layer of defense is justified, because the current reactive approaches cannot keep up with the rapidly increasing new threats.

The following is a smart grid security presentation I developed for my fellow task force members on NERC's 2010 Smart Grid Task Force. The charts included are very helpful in understanding at a glance, where the risks and threats to smart grid reliability and security lie. In the end though it is the 'human factor' that is most important to keep in mind in risk mitigation.
Wireless Vulnerability Management: What It Means for Your EnterpriseAirTight Networks
The instant and obvious benefits of WiFi have made WLANs a big success
in public, private, and enterprise sectors. Unfortunately, the adoption of
correct security measures for WLANs is lagging far behind the fast pace
at which these networks are being deployed. The presence of WiFi in
most laptops and handhelds, the simplicity of independently installing
WiFi networks, and the ease of exploiting wireless vulnerabilities have
together escalated the risks manifold. Even organizations that do not
own a WLAN are equally at risk.
Advanced Persistent Threats (Shining the Light on the Industries' Best Kept S...Security B-Sides
The following lecture will cover very advanced techniques and trade craft of subversive multi-vector threat's (SMT's) and advanced persistent threats (APTs) by two of the world's leading experts in this specific field. It is important to understand that APT's have a long history and though typically not talked about unless you are dealing with Governments, Defense Industrial Base (DIB), research organizations and global financials are all too real. The techniques and tradecraft associated are so mature and diverse, they literally go undetected. Today’s Internet is far more complex, dynamic and diverse than ever before. Because of this fast-paced evolution within the threat landscape these types of attacks (as we predicted in a recent lecture at ToorCon in October 2009 in San Diego, Ca), have swiftly become mainstream. The telemetry of the attack surface knows no bounds and includes any mediums necessary for the completing their operational charter and missions. In most instances, these attacks are sponsored by nation state and sub-national entities either politically or economically motivated. During our discussion, we will address the history and psychology of these cyber actors as it relates to APTs and while advancing in an in-depth discussion on SMT's, crypto-virology, asymmetric forms of information gathering, recent use cases and next generation countermeasures for detecting and defending these types of attacks. Lastly, as we predicted last fall on the rise of the APT's into the mainstream, we will also leave you with yet another prediction of what to expect in the coming year.
Many small and medium sized businesses are still unaware of the threats that exist. This guide to security threats for SMBs outlines the most common threats and how they can be dealt with.

We remain on the edge of the digital age, where innovation moves rapidly, and our lives have been changed by modern computing. Digitization has brought about an amazing measure of data coursing through the internet. Handling that information has prompted a transformation by how we store and access data. The developing prevalence of cloud computing among organizations could prompt them being the following conceivable focus of cyber criminals. So, that means cloud computing is not safe? No, thats not the case! Since cloud computing is trending so cyber criminals are hitting more on it. To read more about how cyber criminals are stealing data, infecting businesses and how you can prevent it!
Network security has become more crucial to businesses with an ever-increasing reliance on technology and its ever-changing nature. There are several reasons why networks need security nowadays, but here are three that I believe every network requires.
Introduction to the Current Threat LandscapeMelbourne IT
Do you know what threats are lurking in the shadows? Have you been compromised without even knowing about it? Most companies don't even know if their business has been subjected to attacks and even worse, may have lost sensitive data without knowing about it until it’s too late.
The latest vulnerabilities highlight the extent and depth that hackers are adopting to steal your content or destroy trust in your brand. Our industry experts joining us for the presentation have a wealth of experience in robust security strategies and will be discussing the current online threat landscape, the most prominent approaches to security breaches and what you need to consider to protect your online presence from any potential malicious attacks.

Our contacts: hello@bsg.tech ; https://bsg.tech
Vendors are lured by visions of long-term residual subscription income, while customers dream of IT services and software without significant upfront costs. Sounds like techno Shangri-La, but what of security? Pessimists warn us away from the Cloud on the grounds that we should maintain control over the security of our property. Those bullish on the Cloud argue often delusionaly that your data is safer in the Cloud than on your own hard drives. Make no mistake: the Internet is the lion's den, and the Cloud sits squarely in it. This session will discuss the security realities of traditional IT software and infrastructure, and contrast them with those of Cloud-based resources.
Retail Stores and Wireless Security—RecommendationsAirTight Networks
Wireless computer networks are rapidly becoming universal. As a consumer-driven technology,
wireless was developed to be simple to install, configure and use. It is that very
simplicity, however, that has made it an easy attack vector. More than 95 percent of all
laptop computers have wireless built-in; consumers use wireless routers at home to attach
to their DSL or cable modems; cell phones and digital cameras are getting Wi-Fi enabled.
For a retailer, this means that even if you are not deploying wireless LANs in your establishments,
you have a wireless problem and you need a wireless security policy.
Major security intrustions from businesses large and small, private and government, indicate that the Internet is far less secure than most realize. After reading this, you may want to reconsider how secure your private data and information really is.
