Help! I think we’ve had a security breach

By Jeremy Ward, Security Consulting Offering Manager

 

These days can any business honestly say with absolute confidence that it hasn’t had a security breach? Whether it’s been a major incident, involving serious data losses and prosecution by a data protection regulator, or a much more minor event; security breaches are now a part of business life.

 

In the world of information security, “breach” is a four letter word

By Jeffrey Lewis, Senior Global Marketing Manager, Enterprise Security Services

As we all know, technology has changed the way we work and communicate.   In fact, as I’m writing this post, I am sitting in a coffee shop enjoying a warm mocha on a cold day in Texas. 

 

Looking around the shop, I see a host of potential issues that illustrate some of our challenges.

What should CIOs consider when it comes to cloud computing security?

Cloud security.jpgMore and more, cloud-based solutions are becoming a standard approach to your computing needs.  Eventually companies will use the cloud as they do an electricity supply, with similar service levels (availability, security of supply, etc.) and acceptance of use. Indeed, anyone looking to obtain venture capital will find it difficult if cloud computing is not part of their solution.

 

 

 

 

Securely managing the consumerization of IT

By Simon Arnell, Security Analytics Service Director


The consumerization of IT has come a long way since that first discussion, emerging as one of the most significant trends to affect IT in the past 10 years. It’s no longer a question of if enterprises will choose consumerization, it’s a question of how CIOs will manage and secure IT consumerization and Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) as part of their overall business strategy.

About the Author
  • A business first, senior executive, with over 20 years of hands on experience in defending banks, governments and corporations against cyberwarfare. My career in security started when I was employed to crack a secure system, which had locked down the boot process, whitelisting of applications and encrypted disks. I linked TeamOffice (an ICL email and collaboration system) with Microsoft Word to send an email which allowed me to do anything the person reading the email could do and send the results back to me, all without there knowledge. Having proved this vulnerability, I worked with Peter Simpson to create Defuse, a tool that blocked inappropriate actions. This successfully blocked Winword Concept, the first known malicous code in the wild. From these begginings I have investigated all aspects of security to provide an holistic approach to security as a business enabler and currently advising organisations on the suitability of the cloud to their needs.
