Winning the Battle Against Inside Threats:
Actionable Strategies for Safeguarding Critical Data

Today’s headlines confirm the potential outcomes of ineffective IT security systems. Companies are suffering serious consequences – from stolen customer data and intellectual property to powerful viruses and other malware. Not only are business operations interrupted, but corporate security failures are leading to damaged business reputations, lost revenues, sizeable costs, and often lost jobs for individuals held accountable. In addition, increasing privacy and security regulation presents a complex challenge for organisations that must secure massive amounts of data, monitor complex applications, and manage large numbers of users.

To manage threats to the enterprise and successfully meet compliance challenges, organisations need a comprehensive security strategy that can successfully do battle with inside as well as outside threats. Today, companies are increasingly leveraging security information management (SIM) solutions to build a clean, concise, and manageable process for dealing with the tremendous volumes of raw security information from disparate devices, applications, and databases. With the right SIM solution, this correlated security data can be transformed into actionable security intelligence, providing a sound risk management platform while helping companies manage and maintain compliance. < more>

Suddenly the CIO, CTO, and CSO find themselves accountable for a daunting amount of security requirements and a relentless cycle of compliance auditing. < more >
