In its seventh annual study of outbound email and data loss prevention issues, Proofpoint Inc. found that email continues to be the number one source of data loss risks in large enterprises as more than a third (35%) investigated a leak of confidential or proprietary information via email in the past 12 months. At the same time, the number of data loss events associated with social media channels continued to increase. Employee misuse of email, work-owned mobile devices, and popular social media tools including Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, video sharing sites, forums and blogs resulted in an increasing number of disciplinary actions—including termination—as enterprises demonstrate increasing concern about securing sensitive data.
The document discusses the state of social networks in Vietnam based on data from comScore. It finds that:
1) Social network usage has grown rapidly in Vietnam, with Zing Me reaching over half of social network users.
2) Social media users in Vietnam tend to be younger (15-24 years old) and are more "aspirational" in their online activities.
3) While non-Vietnamese social networks still have a presence, Vietnamese-based social networks like Zing Me are becoming increasingly popular among the country's youth.
The document discusses social networks and internet usage in Vietnam and Southeast Asia. Some key points:
- Social network penetration is highest in the Philippines, Malaysia, and Indonesia, driven mainly by Facebook. Vietnam saw the strongest year-over-year growth in social network reach.
- Internet audiences in the region skew very young, especially in Vietnam, Indonesia, and the Philippines. Younger users aged 15-34 spend more time online on average.
- Photo sharing on social networks is fueling strong growth of the photos category in Vietnam, Malaysia, and the Philippines.
This document provides best practices for messaging in 2011 based on an Osterman Research white paper.
Key takeaways include that corporate policies need to be detailed, thorough, and updated regularly to address risks from new technologies and legal/regulatory changes. Content archiving is necessary for e-discovery, compliance, and storage management. Encryption is also important to protect intellectual property and comply with regulations. Social networking needs close monitoring and archiving. Cloud services should be used across business functions. Overall, organizations must develop layered defenses from endpoints to gateways and focus on policy development and compliance.
The survey summarizes responses from over 325 venture capitalists on their predictions for 2010. Key findings include:
- 44% expect venture capital investment to increase slightly between $21-25 billion in 2010.

- 54% expect clean tech investment to increase in 2010.
- 55% expect investment in growth equity to increase in 2010.
- 43.3% predict 26-50 venture-backed IPOs in 2010.
- 64% believe the value of venture-backed acquisitions will increase in 2010.
ClickSquared Webcast: Improve your Marketing, Remove the ComplexityClickSquared
The document discusses strategies for marketers to improve email marketing and reduce complexity. It notes that consumers have adopted shorter communication styles through social media and mobile devices. To be effective, marketers need to adopt relevant tactics like personalization, optimize content for mobile, and measure engagement across channels. While most marketers use email, their efforts are often siloed without common goals or data integration. Adopting a single marketing suite could help with cross-channel campaigns, measurement, and reducing complexity. There is strong interest among marketers in using a single suite or SaaS solution to better manage campaigns across multiple channels.

Defending Against Advanced Threats-Addressing the Cyber Kill Chain_FINALMichael Bunn
Organizations must address the Cyber Kill Chain to defend against advanced threats. The Cyber Kill Chain describes the 7 stages of an attack - reconnaissance, weaponization, delivery, exploitation, installation, command and control, and actions on targets. Traditionally, organizations focused on prevention at the perimeter, but attackers have bypassed these defenses. To improve security, organizations should detect, deny, disrupt, and recover at each stage of the Cyber Kill Chain rather than solely focusing on prevention. This involves technologies like network monitoring, endpoint protection, and threat intelligence across all phases of an attack.
This report analyzes data from Proofpoint's Targeted Attack Protection product to explore how human behavior contributes to enterprise security threats. The key findings are:
1) Every company clicks on malicious links, with an average click rate of just under 4% regardless of message volume. The most clicked links were in communication notifications like voicemails.
2) All industries receive threats, but banking and finance receive 41% more messages. Middle management clicks twice as often as executives.
3) The majority of clicks happen within one day and one week of message arrival. Attacks mostly occur during business hours, peaking on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
4) Sales, finance, and procurement click
GM has undertaken several actions since 2005 to address legacy costs and international operations. It faces threats from economic fluctuations and regulations but opportunities in smaller vehicles and emerging markets. Alternative 1 proposes differentiating brands while Alternative 2 divests some brands and decentralizes to empower individual brands. Implementation would phase out brands over 3 years, restructure the organization, and invest in specialized assets.
Symantec's Internet Security Threat Report, Volume 18 revealed a 42 percent surge during 2012 in targeted attacks compared to the prior year. Designed to steal intellectual property, these targeted cyberespionage attacks are increasingly hitting the manufacturing sector as well as small businesses, which are the target of 31 percent of these attacks. Small businesses are attractive targets themselves and a way in to ultimately reach larger companies via “watering hole” techniques. In addition, consumers remain vulnerable to ransomware and mobile threats, particularly on the Android platform.

Symantec 2011 Threat Management Survey Global ResultsSymantec
The 2011 Threat Management Survey found that:
1) Enterprises were not confident in their security posture and many were struggling with timely analysis and response to threats. Their top concerns were security intelligence, visibility, and analysis.
2) 57% of respondents lacked confidence in their IT security staff's ability to respond to new threats due to staffing issues like not having enough staff, staff lacking time, and staff lacking the right skill sets.
3) 66% rated their staff as less than effective at security tasks, with only 4% rating their staff as completely effective due to challenges with recruiting, retention, and ensuring staff have the right skill sets.
This is a briefing on Cyber Security threats in non-technical terms. The briefing includes statistics on the threat landscape and business readiness to address them. Contact the presenter, David A. Kondrup, CPP SPHR at dk@CyberDiligence for a copy or for further information.
Leading IT research firm Enterprise Management Associates (EMA) surveyed 179 IT and IT security respondents to assess the level of interest in MDR services, query MDR services users on the value they receive from their MDR service providers, and understand the drivers behind the growing interest in outsourcing the threat detection and response function.
These slides provide some of the highlights from this research.
The IT security skills shortage continues to widen, making it even harder for enterprises to maintain their defenses in the face of increasingly complex threats to a continually expanding attack surface. With open IT security positions numbering in the millions worldwide, and enterprises seeing an increase in the number of those positions as turnover occurs, greater levels of automation and better integration of security tools becomes all the more important.
Leading IT research firm EMA surveyed IT and IT security respondents to better understand how the shortage impacts organizations and what automation can do to help alleviate the side effects of the shortage. These slides dive into some of the results.
