The Reality of Cyberattacks: Emerging Solutions for Today's Threats

Quick Overview


Recent research shows clearly that our critical infrastructure is under repeated cyberattack often from high-level adversaries like foreign nation-states. In fact the estimated cost from downtime, caused by major attacks, exceeds $6M per day. It's now confirmed: Our critical infrastructure is under repeated cyberattack from high-level adversaries.

Register for this webinar to learn:

  • The top cyber risks to public and private sector organizations;
  • How to harden operational environments to ensure sensitive data is always protected;
  • How these risks can be mitigated with end-to-end data encryption and tokenization.

Background

Last July 4, key federal government websites were disrupted by a series of distributed denial of service attacks.

In January, Google and 30 other major companies revealed they'd been the targets of another sophisticated cyberattack.

These incidents confirm what we all have long believed: Our critical infrastructure is under constant attack, and the potential cost of a successful attack is staggering.

In fact, the estimated cost from downtime caused by major attacks exceeds $6M per day. In a recent survey of federal agencies, the top security concern was the inability to protect sensitive and confidential data.

Some eye-opening facts:

  • Nearly one- third of IT executives surveyed said their own sector was either "not at all prepared" or "not very prepared" to deal with attacks or infiltration by high-level adversaries;

  • 50% of IT and security executives also identified the United States as one of the three countries "most vulnerable to critical infrastructure cyberattack."

The solution? Increasingly, organizations turn to end-to-end encryption and tokenization coupled with hardened cryptographic operations to ensure that no matter where data goes, it is always protected.

This webinar will examine these solutions in detail, using the nation's payment system as an example to illustrate how data can be protected from cyberattack.

Thales and Voltage Security have teamed to make protecting data end-to-end easier. In this webinar, you'll learn about:

  • End-to-End data protection via encryption and tokenization;
  • Hardened operational environments that ensure sensitive data is always protected;
  • How key management and a secure environment for encryption provide complete protection.
