Mixed State of Readiness for New Cybersecurity Regulations in Europe
The following is external content provided as a free resource for blog readers.
| Protection Regulation (GDPR) legislation. The GDPR is currently set to be finalised in early 2015, with compliance becoming mandatory in 2017. The NIS directive – set to be implemented in 2015 – will impose new security and incident reporting requirements on a broader range of private sector companies. The report gauges how organisations perceive the scale and importance of the legislation and predicts how organisations in France, Germany and the UK are most likely to prepare themselves for compliance. Based on responses, it concludes that there is a mixed state of readiness at best, with many not understanding the true extent of the potential impact of the legislation.

The Big Shift to Cloud-Based Security
The following is external content provided as a free resource for blog readers.
| As a mid-sized or smaller organization, there is a lure of feeling safety in obscurity. The truth is your company doesn't have to be a giant global corporation to be in the cross hairs of an attack. Automated exploits of common vulnerabilities can equally sweep up victims on any Internet-facing network. As for targeted attacks, smaller companies are often hit first precisely because cybercriminals know these organizations have weak security – and may be a stepping stone to connected business partners or a large parent company. The good news is you don't need to hire a crew of security experts to effectively manage IT risks and comply with security and privacy regulations. This guide explains how SMBs can use cloud-based security to protect their network and ensure compliance without breaking the bank. Request Free! |
State of Cybersecurity in Health Care Organizations
The following is external content provided as a free resource for blog readers.

Risks are exponentially increased because of organizations' reliance on electronic systems for mission-critical functions. This survey also reveals new risks created by the increasing reliance on mobility for delivery of health care information. Based on this survey's results, the health care industry is slowly improving, with better awareness of risk and improved commitment of resources and support. Download this paper to learn more.
