The document discusses the need for organizations to implement and monitor an Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) to govern employee use of company technology and infrastructure. An effective AUP balances productivity, security, compliance with regulations, and legal issues. It also discusses managing employee behavior with tools like monitoring internet use, images, USB devices, and training to ensure compliance with the AUP and address risks. The e-safe business solution helps reconcile the AUP with regulatory requirements like Lexcel and SRA, providing automated monitoring, management and reporting to address compliance issues.
While mobility enables business innovation and agility, it also introduces risk. These risks fall into four main areas: Device, network, apps/data and external threats.
No one source can provide all of the data necessary for security monitoring. To be truly effective, organizations need better relevant data, and they need it faster. Early detection of infiltration and compromise are key to rapid and accurate response and recovery.

SolarWinds Federal Webinar: Government Cyber Security Survey: What you told us SolarWinds
SolarWinds Federal Webinar: Government Cyber Security Survey: What you told us - November 1, 2017
In this webinar our panelists discussed how the federal government faces an array of challenges in cybersecurity. What are these challenges and how are they changing? Who are the actors threatening the government, and what tools are they using? Are countermeasures effective, or is the government losing the battle? Eliminating all risk is impossible, so how do government agencies manage the risk? Is the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) helpful? There’s a huge initiative to modernize federal systems; how does modernization affect an agency’s security posture? We discussed the fourth annual Federal Cybersecurity Survey results, and how agencies with strong IT controls are better prepared for security threats and are better able to manage risk.

Today, the delegation of risk decisions to the IT team
cannot be the only solution and has to be a shared
responsibility. The board and business executives are
expected to incorporate the management of cyber risk
as part of their business strategy since they are
accountable to stakeholders, regulators and
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
communicating the impact that cyber risk has on
business outcomes, in a language that everyone can
understand.
Enterprises face increasing risks
Every day, modern enterprises face significant risk concerns. Consider the potential
impact of business disruption, technology breaches, and workforce safety issues, as
well as disconnected tools/systems/processes, productivity issues, and brand and
reputation damage. Other risks are ones that can’t be controlled as easily, including
extreme weather, the ever-growing cost associated with the number of global
compliance regulations, supply chain disruption—and global pandemics. This last one
previously didn’t seem that likely, but we’ve all experienced how that can change.
These concerns are present for every department across the enterprise. They impact
how people work and the business’s bottom line.
Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) programs help ensure that enterprises
address risks and meet compliance mandates. Today, these programs are even
more critical as enterprises around the world embrace digital transformation and
cloud-based platforms. Such innovations enable workforces and customers to easily
access digital services and processes, but these seamless experiences also bring
increased risks.
Outdated GRC practices and solutions
Many existing GRC solutions were developed and implemented before the largescale adoption of digital technology. These outdated solutions were not designed for
front-line employees, and they place a heavy burden on risk and compliance teams.
Neither the tools nor the teams can keep up. Right now, typically every department
in an enterprise has silos of data that these solutions must attempt to work with or
around. Compliance teams are forced to use manual, outdated, and inconsistent risk
management and compliance practices that don’t provide a real-time, overall view of
risk across the business
Selling Your Organization on Application SecurityVeracode
You’ve studied the best practices, charted out your course and are ready to embark on your application security journey. But there is still one roadblock that could derail your entire program if you ignore it – getting buy-in from the rest of your company. You see, application security is unlike other forms of security in that it directly impacts the productivity of multiple teams outside the IT and security teams. Who are the groups you need to work with? At what point in the planning and execution stages should you engage with these teams? And why are they so concerned with your application security strategy? The answer to these questions can be found in this short, yet informative presentation. You'll learn about the teams you need to work with, and how to best communicate and work with them to ensure the success of your application security program.
IT Security at the Speed of Business: Security Provisioning with Symantec Dat...Symantec
Today’s data centers are transitioning into software-defined data centers (SDDC). In the SDDC, the core elements of the infrastructure—storage, server and compute, networking, databases, and business applications—are virtualized and delivered as services. The deployment, provisioning, configuration, management and operation of the entire infrastructure is abstracted from hardware and implemented through software. The infrastructure resources across the stack are application-centric, and customers have the ability to provision IT assets across their public cloud, private cloud, and on-premise domains. These SDDC capabilities are intended to enhance an enterprise’s ability to quickly respond to new opportunities and emerging threats.

E-commerce is an important business transaction system in the network age. However, the network
intrusion, malicious users, virus attack and system security vulnerabilities have continued to threaten the
operation of the e-commerce, making e-commerce security encounter serious test. In order to avoid system
security flaw and defect caused user great loss, how to reduce e-commerce security risk has become a topic
worthy of further exploration. In this paper, the critical security requirement for the e-commerce system is
investigated and deduced the compliance, availability and manageability quality characteristics for ecommerce
software security requirement. Applying the quantified quality characteristics and proposes a
Security Requirement Quality Measurement (SRQM) model. Based on SRQM model, the paper develops a
Security Requirement Quality Improvement (SRQI) procedure to identify problem and defect of security
requirement quality. And assist in timely to adjust and revise the defects of security requirement quality,
enhance the e-commerce security effectively.
