Lost laptops, misplaced paper records, cyber theft - breaches are a fact of life. But they don't have to be a disaster. Breach veterans know that the impact of a data loss event is substantially determined by what happens in the 48 hours after you find out about it. Get things right, and even a substantial and public breach can be weathered gracefully. Mess things up, and a small breach can turn into a nightmare.
This webinar will review critical steps organizations can take in the wake of a breach. Our featured speaker will be privacy and compliance expert, Deb Hampson who is an AVP & Assistant General Counsel at The Hartford. Don't miss this opportunity to learn best practices from a proven professional.

It notes that encryption, along with centralized policy and key management, are essential for protecting sensitive data in cloud environments and meeting regulatory requirements. Centralized key management provides benefits like secure key storage, lifecycle management, separation of duties, and compliance with standards. Customers can choose between managing keys on-premise or using a key management as a service provider, but must consider tradeoffs in risk, cost, and separation of duties. Encryption combined with proper key management makes data more secure when migrating to cloud computing.
Security Compliance Models- Checklist v. FrameworkDivya Kothari
The document discusses and compares three compliance standards - PCI, GLBA, and HIPAA. It categorizes them based on whether they use a checklist model, risk management framework, or a hybrid of both. PCI is described as an industry standard checklist aimed at protecting card data. GLBA uses a risk-based approach giving financial institutions autonomy in compliance. HIPAA takes a hybrid approach with both checklist and risk-based elements, suited to the varied healthcare industry. The intent behind each is also discussed - with PCI providing a standardized baseline, GLBA enabling flexible risk management, and HIPAA's hybrid nature accommodating different entity types. Examples are given of entities that would need to comply with each standard.
This report provides an overview of global compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) based on hundreds of assessments conducted between 2011-2013. The key findings are that only around 11% of companies assessed were fully compliant with all 12 PCI DSS requirements, and the report identifies areas where organizations commonly struggle with compliance. It recommends that organizations view PCI compliance as an ongoing process that requires executive sponsorship and should be part of wider governance, risk, and compliance efforts.

Pci compliance without compensating controls how to take your mainframe out ...Ulf Mattsson
The document advertises a complimentary webinar about achieving PCI compliance on mainframes without using compensating controls. It discusses how PCI DSS v2.0 requires all stored cardholder data to be identified, protected, or deleted. Using new mainframe data discovery and tokenization tools, organizations can now quickly discover and map cardholder data in the mainframe, tokenize it, and permanently eliminate it from scope of PCI compliance. The webinar will cover new PCI DSS v2.0 requirements, automated mainframe data discovery, and how the combination of discovery and tokenization can support ongoing PCI compliance without impacting performance or existing SLAs.
Here are the three major information security threats to the Payment Card Industry:
1. Social Engineering - Hackers use social engineering techniques like phishing emails or phone calls to trick employees or customers into revealing sensitive information like account numbers, passwords, security questions/answers, etc. This is one of the biggest threats as it doesn't require technical sophistication.
2. Sophisticated DDoS Attacks - Distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks have increased in scale and complexity in recent years. Well-funded hacker groups are able to launch massive attacks that can overwhelm the defenses of even large payment processors.

Regulations and Compliance
Regulations and compliance drive many activities in an enterprise. The primary
reason behind this is the simple fact that failure to comply with rules and
regulations can lead to direct, and in some cases substantial, financial penalties.
Compliance failures can carry additional costs, as in increased scrutiny, greater
regulation in the future, and bad publicity. Since software is a major driver of
many business processes, a CSSLP needs to understand the basis behind various
rules and regulations and how they affect the enterprise in the context of their
own development efforts. This enables decision making as part of the software
development process that is in concert with these issues and enables the
enterprise to remain compliant.
Much has been said about how compliance is not the same as security. In a
sense, this is true, for one can be compliant and still be insecure. When viewed
from a risk management point of view, security is an exercise in risk
management, and so are compliance and other hazards. Add it all together, and
you get an “all hazards” approach, which is popular in many industries, as senior
management is responsible for all hazards and the residual risk from all risk
sources.
Regulations can come from several sources, including industry and trade
groups and government agencies. The penalties for noncompliance can vary as
well, sometimes based on the severity of the violation and other times based on
political factors. The factors determining which systems are included in
regulation and the level of regulation also vary based on situational factors.
Typically, these factors and rules are published significantly in advance of
instantiation to allow firms time to plan enterprise controls and optimize risk
management options. Although not all firms will be affected by all sets of
regulations, it is also not uncommon for a firm to have multiple sets of
regulations across different aspects of an enterprise, even overlapping on some
elements. This can add to the difficulty of managing compliance, as different
regulations can have different levels of protection requirements.
Many development efforts may have multiple regulatory impacts, and
mapping the different requirements to the indi ...
The ERGTM Data Security Compliance Readiness Review helps organizations prepare for PCI, SOX, HIPAA, FISMA and GLB compliance by providing expert advice and gap analysis of existing practices compared to security standards. ERG consultants identify issues of concern and recommend solutions to meet requirements. At the conclusion, they outline next steps for compliance and areas needing improvement. Depending on needs, ERG can also provide consultation and products to develop and execute remediation plans.
Software can help banks sort through large volumes of customer transaction records and flag suspicious activities that violate anti-money laundering (AML) regulations. However, technology alone does not ensure compliance - banks must also develop strong processes to monitor transactions, identify customers, and assess risks. While each regulation has different requirements, many compliance activities like data protection can be addressed through common best practices. The right technology partner can help banks prioritize needs and integrate solutions to strengthen AML compliance over time.
The document discusses changes to the requirements of PCI DSS 3.0 that will impact organizations. It highlights new requirements for annual penetration testing, documenting vulnerabilities from the past 12 months, and conducting a risk assessment based on an industry framework. These changes will significantly increase the resources needed for compliance.
InfoSec, Inc. is a mainframe security company that helps clients comply with various cybersecurity standards and regulations. The document discusses several key compliance points that many IT managers find overwhelming including: Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX), which aims to improve financial disclosures from public companies; the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), which protects private financial information; the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), which protects payment card data; the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA), which strengthens information security in federal agencies; and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), which protects private health information.

Cyber-insurance and liability caps proposed as incentives by Department of Co...David Sweigert
It is important to note that while the incentives study was required within 120 days of the date of EO 13636, the preliminary version of the Framework is required within 240 days of the date of EO 13636. In addition, DHS will be establishing a voluntary program to support Framework adoption within 365 days of the signing of EO 13636. This report is limited by the current understanding of what the Framework will entail and would benefit from more specifics to inform the analysis and recommendation of the incentives designed for promoting its adoption. For example, knowledge of the Framework would allow the cost of Framework adoption to be quantified. Since the Framework is still under development, this was not possible, and so the incentives considered were evaluated at a more general level with the understanding that the analysis would be updated as needed as the Framework is developed. Since the Framework is still in development at the time of this writing, the incentives that are intended to promote its adoption were assessed prospectively, in terms of the likelihood that they will motivate organizations to adopt the Framework in the future. It is expected that the most effective incentives will not only promote adoption of the Framework.
The Big Picture: Beyond Compliance To Risk ManagementNeira Jones
1) Compliance alone does not eliminate risk, and companies need governance plans to manage resources and risks effectively.
2) Recent high-profile data breaches have exposed inadequacies in current governance, risk, and compliance practices, prompting stronger oversight.
3) By connecting controls to risks, companies can achieve improvements in enterprise risk management and use GRC solutions to help make this connection.
Join us and learn where your organization may have security gaps or be out of state or federal compliance.

It also discusses common barriers to cloud adoption such as security, visibility, and control. The document emphasizes that security, integration, reliability, and standards are key issues for public clouds and that
Steve Carlson, IT Operations Manager for Windstream Hosted Solutions, discusses strategies for maximizing an IT budget. He covers assessing internal environments to determine what can be outsourced, considering building infrastructure vs outsourcing to colocation facilities, strategies for reducing storage costs including data deduplication, and developing a purchasing strategy to negotiate better pricing. The presentation provides best practices for focusing IT spending on core business needs while reducing costs through strategic outsourcing and optimization.
This document discusses the evolution of data centers and cloud computing. It notes that the workforce is increasingly mobile, the nature of work is transforming to be more collaborative both within and outside organizations, and budgets are under pressure. It discusses how colocation services and cloud computing address these trends by providing scalable, on-demand infrastructure and applications at lower costs. The basic building blocks of cloud services are software as a service (SaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), and infrastructure as a service (IaaS). Enterprises see potential benefits but also have concerns that need to be addressed for cloud adoption.
Fortinet and Windstream presented on debunking common network security myths. They discussed that having only a firewall is not enough protection today given blended attacks. Blocking applications alone is also insufficient; layered protection is needed. Consolidated security solutions are better than stand-alone products due to improved performance, protection and reduced complexity. Staying on top of threats is possible through real-time updates from hundreds of thousands of sensors. Even small businesses are targets, not just large enterprises. Windstream offers a managed network security solution beyond just desktop protection to defend an entire network environment.

White Paper: Windstream Leveraging Funding for EHR While Meeting HIPAA Requir...Windstream Enterprise
This document summarizes the key requirements and challenges for healthcare organizations adopting Electronic Health Records (EHR) systems. It outlines the HIPAA requirements to have EHR systems implemented by 2015 to receive Medicare/Medicaid funding. It also discusses the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act that provides billions in funding incentives for early EHR adoption. However, many organizations struggle with the costs and resources required for EHR implementation. The document proposes Windstream's solutions such as Equipment for Services and Software for Services programs that help subsidize EHR costs while ensuring HIPAA security standards are met through network modernization and security products.
The document describes Windstream Hosted Solutions, a cloud computing service that provides scalable IT infrastructure and resources to customers on demand. It offers public, private and hybrid cloud options built on industry-leading technologies. Customers can access production-level servers, storage, networking and security without the large upfront capital costs of owning their own infrastructure. This allows customers to rapidly deploy capacity as needed and reshape their IT environment flexibly.
By 2015, all healthcare organizations must deploy comprehensive Electronic Health Records (EHR) to be in compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) enacted by the U.S. Congress more than a decade ago in an effort
to reform healthcare. Title II of HIPAA requires healthcare organizations to standardize the interchange of electronic data for specified administrative and financial transactions in order to protect the security and confidentiality of electronic health information.
Meeting these standards is an uphill battle for most healthcare organizations. Transferring documents to an electronic format is a long and expensive process.
While larger enterprises such as hospitals and health systems are leading the switch to EHR, only 13 percent of physicians have implemented EHR systems in their practices.
This document discusses the threats of malware to network security and argues that firewalls alone are not enough protection. It introduces intrusion detection and protection systems (IDPS) as the newest line of defense that can identify and prevent malware intrusion by examining network infrastructure. An IDPS solution scans for known threats, searches for anomalies, and actively blocks malware while allowing normal data. The document claims Windstream's IDPS requires no additional equipment, is cost-effective, and outperforms other products by minimizing risk.
This white paper discusses the most common VPN technologies and highlights hidden costs, which should
be considered when deploying a VPN. Network meshing and the addition of subsequent nodes are automatic functions of “connection-less” technology, including MPLS and IPSec. However, Frame Relay, a “connection oriented” technology, requires separate “permanent” virtual circuits to be
manually programmed, in order for each node to be meshed.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
