The document summarizes the findings of a survey on global information security trends. It finds that while social media and cloud computing present new security risks, companies are taking steps to manage these risks such as monitoring employee social media use and ensuring virtualized environments are properly configured. It also notes that while outsourcing of security functions had been expected to grow, the economic downturn has led more companies to keep these functions in-house. Overall security budgets are holding steady despite cost-cutting in other areas.
The continued expansion of file-based, business-critical information within extended enterprises is changing the storage dynamic in a wide range of industries and organizations. In a series of interviews with U.S. and European enterprises, IDC found that companies are increasing their file-based storage by 40% to 120% a year and place a high priority on boosting the efficiency and reliability of their management processes for file-based information. IDC research indicates that unstructured, filebased data drove a majority of new storage capacity in all organizations' datacenters in 2008 and projects this growth to accelerate, in spite of current economic conditions. By 2012, over 75% of new storage capacity shipped will be dedicated to the storage, organization, and protection of files.

The Data Protection Act aims to protect individuals' personal data and privacy. It applies to most voluntary organizations that collect personal data. While the Act must be followed as it is law, there is flexibility in how organizations comply. The top priorities of the Act are preventing harm to individuals and respecting individuals. It focuses on protecting people, not just data itself. Personal data is any information relating to a living individual that identifies them. Most information that organizations collect about people, whether electronically or physically, will fall under the definition of personal data.
This document discusses risks to data security and privacy for businesses and the growing liability risks associated with data breaches. It notes that commercial general liability and professional liability policies often have gaps in coverage for privacy breaches.

This document discusses data breaches and the risks they pose. It notes that data breaches are increasing, with 19 people becoming identity theft victims every minute due to breaches. Each breach costs on average $6.3 million, and large companies can't locate 2% of their PCs and lose a laptop a day on average. The document then discusses the black market value of different types of personal data and lists examples of data breaches at various organizations. It emphasizes that data risks are escalating and that employees are often the greatest data security threat.
The document discusses protecting corporate data from theft and leakage. It identifies common causes of data breaches like weak internal controls, lack of policies and awareness. The document differentiates between data theft, where data is intentionally stolen, and leakage, where data is accidentally released. It provides examples of how data is typically taken, like through portable storage devices, email and printing. Finally, it outlines steps companies can take to better protect their data, such as identifying and classifying sensitive data, assessing risks, developing policies and using auditing tools.
1) Big data technologies can provide advantages to companies like cost savings and performance improvements, but also pose security risks as data breaches continue to rise.
2) Five common mistakes that leave companies vulnerable are: running databases in trusted environments, loose access control, relying on static protection schemes, inadequate detection of sensitive data, and lack of entitlement monitoring and auditing.
3) To properly secure big data, companies need to know where sensitive data is located, limit access, and implement dynamic protection and monitoring strategies.
IBM offers unified data protection solutions for four key data environments:
1) Big data security - Solutions are needed to securely harness rapidly growing data from diverse sources in big data platforms and prevent unauthorized access and data breaches.
2) Cloud and virtual environment data security - Both private and public cloud infrastructures need protection against data leakage.
3) Enterprise data security - Heterogeneous enterprise data from various sources like databases and data warehouses requires protection.
4) Enterprise application security - Solutions are needed to securely protect multi-tier enterprise applications.

Encryption has been viewed as the ultimate way to protect sensitive data for compliance. But it has also been considered very complex to implement. Today, encryption is essential to meet compliance objectives, and has become much simpler to implement. The challenge is knowing when and where to use encryption, how it can simplify compliance, what controls need to be in place, and the options for good encryption key management. This session will cover the options for encryption and key management, what each provides, and their requirements. Encryption and key management topics include application-level encryption for data in use, network encryption of data in motion, and storage encryption for data at rest.
It is shocking to note that about 3.5 billion people saw their
personal data stolen in the top two of the 15 biggest breaches
of this century alone. With the average cost of a data breach
exceeding $8 million, it is no wonder that safeguarding
confidential business and customer information has become
more important than ever. Furthermore, with stricter laws and governance requirements, data security is now everyone’s
responsibility across the entire enterprise.
However, that is easier said than done, and for that reason, an
an increasing number of organizations are relying heavily on data masking to proactively protect their data, avoid the cost of security breaches, and ensure compliance.
The document discusses the problem of "shadow systems" in organizations, which are small databases or spreadsheets developed by employees outside of IT control to manage business-critical information. This creates issues around data security, productivity, and compliance. The document evaluates options for resolving these issues, including adopting strict data access protocols, using file security software, or procuring specialist software designed to provide a secure alternative to shadow systems that meets knowledge workers' needs.
Leading Practices in Information Security & PrivacyDonny Shimamoto
Many not-for-profits are operating in an environment in which there is a tremendous amount of electronic documents, communications, and confidential data sits on computers and networks that are connected to the Internet. Privacy and security threats are also increasing, putting Internet communications and computer data at risk at an alarming rate. At the same time, laws and regulations with significant penalties have been passed or are being passed by states, the Federal government, and industry groups (e.g. PCI DSS) increasing the consequences of data breaches and privacy violations.
Whether you’re an executive director, program manager, or IT manager, this non-technical presentation will help you learn about the threats, requirements, and leading practices related to information security you need to help protect your donors and constituents.
This document discusses how traditional data loss prevention solutions alone are not effective or efficient at preventing data leakage in today's distributed environments. It advocates for a data-centric security approach that focuses on identifying and classifying sensitive information at the point of creation. This enables sensitive data to be automatically protected with information rights management policies as it moves across systems and locations. The document outlines how such an approach based on flexible, dynamic classification policies and embedded protections can effectively and efficiently secure sensitive information throughout its lifecycle, regardless of where the data resides.
This document is a Dell whitepaper about using big data for security. It discusses how big data allows organizations to analyze large, complex datasets to better monitor security threats in a more proactive way. Specifically, big data can be used to monitor network traffic patterns, identify insider threats, track BYOD device usage, correlate job-based behaviors, and protect intellectual property by monitoring for improper usage both internally and externally. The whitepaper argues that big data provides a way for organizations to continuously monitor data sources and identify unexpected patterns that could indicate security risks or policy violations.
This document discusses the importance of information security policies and processes. It defines information and explains that information can take many forms and must be appropriately protected. It then discusses the importance of information, what constitutes information security, and why information security is needed to protect organizations. Key risks like data breaches are outlined. The document emphasizes that information security is an organizational issue, not just an IT issue, and stresses the importance of people, processes, and technology in an information security program. It provides an overview of some common information security standards and regulations like ISO 27001 and HIPAA.

Security Software International What is Data Leakage Prevention?
• Data Leakage Prevention (DLP) is a computer security term referring
to systems that identify, monitor, and protect data in use (e.g.,
endpoint actions), data in motion (e.g., network actions), and data at
rest (e.g., data storage).
• Regulatory compliance - Data Mandatory Disclosure Law
HIPAA in health and benefits,
GLBA and BASEL II in finance
Payment Card Industry DSS standards.
In the US, UK and EU Data Mandatory Disclosure Law required
an organization to inform their customers of any loss of their
personal information. The right to data privacy is heavily
regulated and rigidly enforced particularly in Europe. However,
as we speak, the Australian Law Reform Commission is looking
at some 300 changes to Federal privacy laws, which includes
data disclosure.

• 2007 NAB Melbourne: 598 names and account numbers of 397
people sent to wrong addresses.
• 2007 HSBC Sydney: More than 100 HSBC Australian customers had
their banking details, names and home addresses as well as other
personal financial information exposed.
• In 2008, an Australian Pharmaceutical Company was getting
complaints of adverse patient reactions from geography they had
minuscule sales. Counterfeit drugs were being manufactured and sold
in that geography under the same brand name.

Data Leakage Prevention –
It does not apply to me!
Very few organizations take into account the threat from the average
employee leaking data. Denial kicks in and “it does not apply to me”, becomes
the preferred answer.
Well consider these 2 questions:
1. Assuming that most of your employees in your
organization including yourself use laptops and/or
PDAs, what kind of data is stored on these and what is
its value?
2. How do you monitor what users are doing with
sensitive data and how do you control what users can
install or introduce onto their computers, for example
iPod, iPhone or USB devices?
7. SSI
Security Software International How SSI can help
