The same better, faster, cheaper information and communication technologies (ICT) that promise to make organizations more successful also present new means, motive, and opportunity to those who would steal information and use it for their own purposes. The most malicious actors are laser-focused on expanding and monetizing their hacking exploits; while legitimate organizations need to balance their security concerns among their other important objectives. Most organizations deal with attacks, for the most part successfully, on a number of fronts. For example, they manage end user access to applications and data stores, with authentication and authorization controls. Networks are secured by virtue of tunneling and encryption protocols, and through the use of firewalls, gateways and intrusion detection systems. Many large enterprises also have built, or contracted with service providers to operate, 24/7 security operations centers (SOCs), equipped with security information and event management systems (SIEMS), and manned by trained personnel. Unfortunately, current security solutions are simply not sufficient to protect organizations, especially from cyber-attacks based on advanced persistent threats (APTs). These […]
