Here are some stats that will blow your mind: Every minute of every day, 48 hours of video content is uploaded to YouTube, Google receives over 2 million queries, over 100,000 tweets are sent and nearly 600 new websites are created. Perhaps most shocking is that quietly in the background, all of this data is tracked and stored. But what happens to it after that?
Obviously, today’s Internet is filled with vast amounts of data. When only a few short years ago a search would yield varied results, today search engines, social networks and even advertisers have realized that information must be culled, filtered and targeted for their consumers. In order to do this, many of these services collect data about you. Whil…
Can your organization be Hack Immune?
This past few months witnessed a record breaking global level of malware threats and APTs (Advanced Persistent Threat) that put the mightiest of Enterprises’ security at jeopardy! Since December 2009, post the Google Aurora attack, the way Enterprises see APTs has changed forever. Even the last bit of resistance was wiped out when World Bank, Morgan Stanley was taken down by such threats too. The challenge with this type of security attack is the manner in which Enterprise IT Security is hacked – slow and disguised.
Not to mention the plethora of ‘zero day’ attacks lead by hacktivists (Eldarwood gang, Anonymous to name a few) that shake the very foundation of data security of the Enterprise with …

Bridge the gap between IT Operations & IT Security
Traditionally, IT operations and IT Security have remained at loggerheads. IT operations team is tasked with the responsibility of carrying out the the day-to-day activities, maintaining the software and hardware inventories, ensuring reliability, optimizing performance, capacity and utilization of the network and a host of other activities. They always need to respond to business requirements at the quickest time possible, keeping in mind business continuity.
IT Security, on the other hand, is tasked with the responsibility of safeguarding the business from evolving, sophisticated cyber-threats and ensuring compliance to regulations. To reduce risks, IT security enforces processes and pl…

Privileged User Monitoring and Audit (PUMA)
Privileged Users, like Network Administrators, System Administrators, and Database Administrators all have unrestricted access to all the critical servers, applications, and databases in an enterprise. They have the powers to create or remove user profiles and manage user privileges. Their job function is critical for the business continuity of the organization and necessitates such unfettered access and supreme privileges.
External Threat
Through backdoor entry programs, once a network resource is compromised, hackers often go after Privileged User credentials leading to incidents of identity theft. This enables them to access business critical systems, read sensitive data, and ultimate…
The Perils of Non-Compliance
The word ‘compliance’ has come a long way in the English dictionary. It might have started as yet another addition to the vocabulary, but now the image it conjures up – little would have the people who coined this word foreseen this evolution.
SOX, HIPAA, PCI, FISMA, GLBA… and considering the probability of the future Enrons, this list is only expected to grow. However, since many organizations have taken active steps to adhere to the compliance-rules, transactions on the web have become a lot safer than they used to be! Companies will surely not want to take the risk of being non-compliant…not if they have to face dire consequences!
You’ll have to face those dubious ‘CNN moments,’ where you…
