Are SMB’s targets for Cyber Criminals?
Charles Kolodgy, IDC Security Products Research Vice President
The Internet is a force multiplier, allowing businesses of all sizes to reach more customers, better service those customers and ultimately be more competitive. By utilizing the Internet, many small and medium businesses can be much more successful. However technological advances cut both ways.
While improved connectivity, communication, and Web presence provide benefits to small and medium businesses (SMBs), it can also resulted in an increase of Internet based security threats and expose the business to criminal elements that they wouldn't normally encounter. If customers can find you so can cybercriminals. The most damaging cyber attack against small and medium businesses is when cybercriminals implant malware on a company's computers, and use that malware to gain access to the company's bank accounts via online-banking.
This webcast is designed to bring the growing cyberthreats and protection strategies to the attention of executives and employees of small and medium enterprises. In this webcast, IDC's analyst, using survey data, recent threat data, and insight, will provide the following information:
* Highlight threats and successful attacks directed towards SMBs
* Identify the special needs for SMB cybersecurity
* Explain companies' existing attitudes around cybersecurity
* Discuss the key security technologies SMBs should consider
* Highlight what features and support companies should look for from their security vendors

60 mins
Virtualization, cloud computing, hybrid environments and BYOD are here to stay. When implemented successfully, these solutions can transform the way businesses operate and lower the OPEX and CAPEX costs of IT departments. However, these major IT trends cannot be considered separately: virtualization and cloud are often linked, and needs for anytime anywhere connectivity and mobile workforce enablement won't wait. This is why it's essential to have a holistic approach and address the business, technology and financial implications of today for tomorrow's needs.

The Lazy Attacker: Defending Against Broad-based Cyber Attacks

The Lazy Attacker: Defending Against Broad-based Cyber Attacks with Unified & Collaborative Defenses
Advanced Persistent Attacks (APTs) get most of the attention from the cyber security community because, as defenders, we want to be vigilant against the most insidious techniques. However, this unilateral mindset ignores a much less interesting reality. Generally, cyber criminals are as lazy as criminals in the “real world.” What do we mean by lazy? Attackers will use the “lowest common denominator” method against the widest range of IP addresses from the same source set of IP addresses - which means that sharing information about their methods with others, and implementing simple defenses are best practices.
Adjusting your focus from the “shiny object” of APTs to those broad-based threats can help prioritize your own defenses and optimize your incident response program. Attend this webinar to hear directly from Jaime Blasco, Director of AlienVault Labs, on how you can:
* Understand the common exploit methods of the “lazy attacker”
* Review the benefits of a collaborative approach to threat intelligence
* Prioritize defensive tactics and remediation activities
* Implement a unified, simplified approach to threat management -

This session will discuss the Technology Business Management (TBM) framework, which provides you with a mechanism to understand your storage consumption patterns and fully burdened costs, benchmark your storage costs against your peers, and communicate the value of storage to your users to drive accountability.
You will walk away with a crisp understanding of how you can improve return on storage assets and make informed decisions to balance storage utilization, demand, and cost. -
Storage Implications for Storing File Data Securely in a Distributed World
Chris Winter, Director of Product Management, Data Encryption and Control, SafeNet
Recorded:
Jun 12 2013
49 mins
When an organization has a distributed or mobile workforce or requires executives or key personnel to work from home, the issue of securing the business critical data becomes especially problematic. In most cases today, responsibility for the security of the file data is the left up to the individual end user. Theft or even the borrowing of the mobile device leaves critical file data exposed.
The rapid growth of BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) brings cost savings and efficiency for organizations but also a greater risk of security breaches. Today, no control or reporting of use of critical data on mobile devices is possible and this creates regulatory problems.
Join your fellow professionals to understand the storage implications for storing file data in a distributed world and best practices on file data security. -
