With increased network complexity comes increased risk

These days enterprises and organisations of all kinds are under constant attack…every day! Find out how to keep your organisation secure with this special guide.

While the majority of simple cyber-threats can be blocked by traditional, signature-based and heuristics-enhanced security products, today’s cybercriminals and hackers are using increasingly sophisticated attacks – to target specific businesses. Targeted attacks – including Advanced persistent Threats (APTs) – are now one of the most dangerous risks that enterprises have to deal with. However, while the threats – and the techniques that cybercriminals and hackers employ – are constantly evolving, many businesses are failing to adapt their security strategies.

Instead, too many businesses are left relying on yesterday’s security technologies… to protect them against today’s sophisticated and stealthy threats. At the same time, the cost of launching a targeted attack has fallen significantly – and many attackers are finding that even inexpensive tool sets can be highly effective… so there’s been a significant increase in the total number of attacks.

No longer can mid-sized or enterprise businesses think “Will my business be attacked”… instead it’s a case of “When will my business be attacked”…and even “Is my business already under live attack?”. Consequences of a targeted attack to an organisation can include:

• Direct financial losses. Attackers may try to commit cyber-fraud by stealing bank account credentials or conduct fraudulent transactions
• Disruption of key business processes. Whilst some attacks may – merely as a by-product – impair or slow down key business processes, other attacks may specifically set out to sabotage
• Damage to your competitive position or reputation. Along with the potential risk of losing confidential information, “trade secrets” or intellectual property, the outcome of a breach can often lead to negative implications from your customers or suppliers.
• Many more…
