Security 2.0: Productivity is as Important as Protection
Security threats to enterprises continue to become more sophisticated as applications have become the front line of business where threats typically either are embedded in an application, ride with on or target.  With productivity being just as important as protection, it's no surprise that security executives are looking for innovative and cost-effective ways to protect corporate networks, data, customers and associates. Further, with the advancement of cloud computing and SaaS applications cutting across a myriad of industries, indiscriminateblocking of content is no longer an acceptable solution in today's businessenvironment, where 24x7 anytime anywhere access to the Web is imperative.

This presentation will provide the following insights and perspectives:

  • How to capitalize on the productivity enhancements afforded by a new wave of Web 2.0 Internet-based applications,while also limiting exposure to the sophisticated network threats
  • Garner improved visibility to identify and track applications that are trying to tunnel over from different ports
  • Generate user-based visibility and control of applications for heightened security
  • Cost-effective methods for securing multiple networks from business purposes to non-critical/guest usage

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, MySpace. Love it or hate it, Web 2.0 and social networking is now an important part of the business scene and companies that fail to engage run the risk of being left behind. Social media empowers businesses to build a brand, expand their reach, connect with customers and partners and facilitate the “flow of business.”

Chances are several of your employees are among the 500 million active Facebook members using any number of the 550,000 applications and tweeting to any number of the 160 million members on Twitter. Employees toggling between “friending” on Facebook and “businessing” on corporate systems leave a company open to the exposure of personal data in the workplace; the release of corporate data to the public; the risk of identity fraud; and a host of security, governance and compliance challenges. Further, a perfect storm is brewing between the number of people using social media and the increasingly sophisticated malware attacks being launched to prey on the data. Now, with the proliferation of third-party applications for mobile devices, the complexity and diversity of security issues becomes even greater as users download unsecured applications and use mobile devices for personal reasons.

Not Your Father’s Identity and Access Management: Moving from IAM to IAI

Mark Chamberlain
Executive Director, IT Security Management

Read the moderator's summary and discuss this topic

The internal corporate network is now a connected web of people and devices as more employees work remotely; and partners, customers and vendors are given access to corporate systems and sensitive data. This connected business model many times means managing access for users the company knows little about, and accommodating SSO and less intrusive authentication. To complicate matters, cloud-based applications are on the rise, bringing more challenges to managing user security. Layered on top of these business considerations is the requirement to meet industry-specific standards and comply with regulations such as HIPAA, SOX and PCI. Businesses must prove accountability around data access and management.

Intelligence, as one of the pillars of IAM, is receiving increasing attention. Focused on auditing, monitoring and analytics, Identity Access Intelligence (IAI) improves the performance of IAM activities, offers controls for activities beyond an organization’s direct control and can satisfy growing compliance, privacy, eDiscovery and regulatory requirements. IAM and compliance solutions form the cornerstone of an organization's governance, risk and compliance strategy and serve as a basis for transforming security into an enabling function. Implementing these programs can be complicated and time-consuming, but enterprises may be able to simplify the process and make tangible contributions to enterprise business goals if they consider vendors that are developing ways to integrate IAM offerings with other compliance solutions.

Advanced Persistent Threat: It Pays to be Paranoid

Insider threat. Social engineering. Spear phishing. Pervasive botnet infections. Legitimate websites hosting malware. Polymorphic malware.  Blended threats. Multiple infection vectors. Command & control servers. Some of the biggest and best companies in the world are being targeted by criminal and nation-sponsored groups seeking to obtain information on intellectual property, legal activities, trade negotiations, customers, employees, credit card numbers and other financials, production information and schematics – and more.

Theft of information and electronic data at global companies has overtaken physical theft for the first time, with losses rising from $1.4m to $1.7m per billion dollars of sales, according to the 2010/2011 Kroll Annual Global Fraud Report. A study conducted by the Ponemon Institute reveals that 83% of respondents believe their organization was the target of advanced attacks, with 44% believing they were victims of frequent targets.

Many organizations unwittingly help the attackers by failing to: train security staff, conduct security awareness training, implement layered defenses, completely enable security technologies, perform adequate security monitoring and retain and analyze security logs. Adherence to regulatory compliance also comes into play, as organizations often fall into the trap of thinking that if they’re compliant, they’re also secure.

Data Like Digital Water: Plugging the Leaks

Data leakage is virtually impossible to stop, but the problem often isn't technology. It's people. The WikiLeaks incident underscores the risks inherent in failing to compartmentalize and in granting employees inappropriate levels of access to data and IT resources. Disgruntled staff, tech-savvy contractors and dismissed employees may misuse privileged access, or gain unauthorized access, and exploit the data. On the other end of the spectrum, naïve employees and well-intentioned users inadvertently leak data through improper and insecure handling of sensitive data.

WikiLeaks shines a spotlight on the policy, education, technology and enforcement issues that must be addressed if a company is to protect its information. Haphazard privileged password management combined with a lack of internal controls, access restrictions, centralized management, accountability and strong policies all contribute to placing an organization at risk for data loss.
