Emerging threat detection techniques and products

Advanced persistent threat (APT) has been a used and abused term in the security industry, but security experts say targeted attacks are a growing problem, penetrating networks and stealing intellectual property. This TechGuide will provide analysis of APT and ways to determine whether your organization risks exposure to targeted attacks. The chapters explore detection technologies, how to monitor insider threats and how to effectively use threat intelligence to defend against a targeted attack before it happens.

Enterprise network security visibility: Beyond traditional defenses

Organizations have implemented various network security technologies to gain better visibility into their networks. However, these security technologies place an increased demand on the network. This TechGuide explores how to improve network security visibility with network flow analysis tools, cloud security monitoring solutions and anomaly-based monitoring technology.

  - Network security best practices and essentials
    
    Your network security is increasingly complex and the ostensibly simple matter of just keeping track of its components has spawned a slew of network discovery tools. But if that complexity weren’t enough, the attacks that chew at your network every day are also growing in complexity and stealth at breakneck speed. So you need a correspondingly complex set of network security tools. And more than that, you need strategy. The increasing complexity of network attack methods has made it necessary to implement equally complex security tools and - more importantly - strategies. Read this Essential Guide on information security to learn more about key elements of a well-coordinated security strategy.

  - Strategies for tackling BYOD: How to ensure mobile security
    
    Bring your own device (BYOD) and the consumerization of IT are realities of the modern workplace that cannot be ignored. When employees are empowered with the choice of using their own consumer-based devices in the workplace, it is imperative to counter the move in IT to ensure security and control. This information security handbook offers advice on controlling the onslaught of employee-owned devices in the workplace, mitigating the risks of mobile applications, and changing your thought process when it comes to securing the consumerization of IT. Read now for expert advice on tackling the issues BYOD brings and ensuring security in a mobile world.

  - An inside look at network security technologies
    
    Finding malware, or worse, attackers pivoting from server to server on your network, is a difficult proposition. Persistent, motivated hackers are adept at developing code that evades detection from signature-based network security devices. And more often than not, attackers are penetrating enterprise networks using legitimate credentials stolen via social engineering scams. This informative handbook outlines how to better safeguard your network. Get the latest tips on network security technologies, and advice from our experts.

  - Deep dive into authentication methods and best practices
    
    Is your token authentication vulnerable to exploit or attack? In this handbook, discover how to lock down two-factor authentication methods in the enterprise. Then, we look at authentication methods such as two-factor tokens, biometrics and cloud-based options. We'll also help you discover why attackers can target the token vendor to take advantage of the security of the authentication system as a whole, and how you can replace the ubiquitous authenticator in your business.
