Just when you thought it was safe to go mobile, everything is different.
The risks are different. Only a few years ago, predictions stated that smartphones and tablets had little vulnerability to malware and hacking. But in the one-year period ending March 2013, malware aimed at mobile platforms grew 614 percent,...
There are many reasons why organizations like yours should be critically concerned with application security. Applications are becoming increasingly pervasive as organizations grow and implement more powerful software to support business processes, product development and daily operations. In addition, the way...
Threats today aren't your parents' malware. They aren't, for that matter, even the malware you encountered yourself just a few years ago. The fact is that, while malware protection has long been a basic IT security function, many organizations still struggle to stay safe. The double whammy of rapid malware...
Corporate credentials. They're the keys to your enterprise and more than likely you've taken many steps to protect them.

The ability to capture, consume and correlate multifaceted data from all over the enterprise is a growing need. No single data source or type can provide sufficient forensic capabilities to solve all of today's security problems. Log information from network and server infrastructure is no longer sufficient to...
Change is hard, and the security industry faces a distinct lack of control in a number of areas, which is enough to cause panic attacks. In terms of access, IT can no longer rely on ownership of or control over devices. Consumption occurs on user-owned devices everywhere - often not even through corporate-controlled...

Because of the overarching access of these users, their privileged identities have extraordinary abilities to...

Using personal information gained from third-party sources to circumvent authentication protections, hackers breached 100,000 accounts of taxpayers who had used the IRS's "Get Transcript" application, which has been temporarily shuttered.
It's no surprise that virus-wielding hackers are exploiting Internet of Things devices. Blame too many device manufacturers rushing products to market, skimping on secure development practices and failing to audit the third-party code they use.
It's time to re-imagine security.
Conventional security detects threats too late (if at all), and resolves them too slowly. It gives security teams a fragmented, incomplete view into what's going on in their network. It's passive and blind to broader threat trends. And it reacts too slowly to new threats and...
