A strategic and data-rich look at the current CyberThreat landscape. This original report is filled with examples, data, graphics and guidance and covers:
- Review of new and expected IT security threats
- Cyber threat taxonomy
- CIO strategies
- Cybercrime as a service – definitions, examples, and data
- Global attack sources
- Critical Security processes
The Resource contains the following recommendations:
- Focus on a two-pronged strategy:
1) Get more efficient at dealing with old threats: platforms, vulnerability avoidance, sourcing.
2) Get more effective at dealing with new threats: Web security gateway, security in the cloud, application control, data protection.
- Institutionalize a threat assessment step in all new business IT projects.
- Protect the business first, demonstrate compliance later. Regulations are rarely a long-term friend to security.
