A Prescription for Privacy
The following is external content provided as a free resource for blog readers.
| Technology continues to make information more readily available to a larger group of people than ever before. Yet even as the latest technological advances bring a greater wealth of opportunities for sharing and distributing knowledge, each advance also increases the risk that sensitive data will land in the wrong hands. The more sensitive the data, the greater the risk—and few industries handle a larger volume of sensitive data than the healthcare industry. Request Free! |
Getting Ahead of the Compliance Curve
The following is external content provided as a free resource for blog readers.
| Compliance is a fast-moving target, and it's getting harder to keep up. In a survey by IT Policy Compliance Group, a consortium dedicated to helping IT security professionals meet policy and compliance goals, 70 percent of all respondents reported being subject to multiple regulatory compliance mandates, as well as contractual obligations and industry standards. Meanwhile, IT budgets are getting leaner as organizations strive to increase cost efficiency in tough economic times, and the emergence of cloud-based services has increased the complexity of compliance management. Given these challenges and tight deadlines, many organizations are addressing compliance requirements in silos using a “checklist” approach. Unfortunately, this tactical, reactive approach can lead to higher compliance costs, more audit deficiencies, greater business downtime, and increased risk of data loss. To avoid this trap and get ahead of the compliance curve, organizations need solutions that can help them take a more proactive approach and plan for — instead of reacting to — the rapidly changing compliance environment.

Protecting Your Website With Always On SSL
The following is external content provided as a free resource for blog readers.
| Trust and consumer confidence is the foundation upon which the Internet has been built. Leading commerce and financial services companies worldwide have long used Secure Socket Layer and Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) technologies to secure customer communications and transactions. But with the rise of Web 2.0 and social networking, people are spending more time online and logged in, and they are communicating much more than just their credit card numbers. Unfortunately, Web security practices have not always kept pace with these changes. Many organizations use the SSL/TLS protocol to encrypt the authentication process when users log in to a website, but do not encrypt subsequent pages during the user's session. This practice is risky because it leaves website visitors vulnerable to malicious online attacks, and can result in millions of users being unknowingly exposed to threats simply by visiting a trusted website. Also included in this white paper, are detailed accounts of four organizations—Facebook, Google, PayPal and Twitter—that are leading the way with Always On SSL in a cooperative effort to make the Internet more secure.

Reducing the Cost and Complexity of Web Vulnerability Management
The following is external content provided as a free resource for blog readers.
| In a recent study conducted by the Ponemon Institute, 90 percent of respondents indicated that they have had two or more breaches in the past 12 months, and nearly two-thirds responded that they have had multiple breaches during the same period of time. These breaches can be incredibly expensive. Studies show that the average cost per incident of a data breach in the United States is $7.2 million, with one of the largest breaches costing $35.3 million to resolve. Security lapses involving personal information can also erode consumer trust; more than half of Internet users avoid buying online because they're afraid that their financial information might be stolen. With stakes so high, organizations need to focus their security efforts to prevent these and other breaches. Request Free! |

Frost & Sullivan Analyst Paper, 'Six Golden Rules for Selecting an SSL Certificate'
The following is external content provided as a free resource for blog readers.
| The foundation of trusted Internet communications are Secure Socket Link (SSL) certificates, an encryption technology installed on Web servers that permits transmission of sensitive data through an encrypted connection. Using a Public-Key Infrastructure (PKI), SSL certificates authenticate the end-use Website and the endpoint server, making it difficult for those sites to be imitated or forged. The acquisition of SSL certificates should always be a relatively easy experience; however, the purchasing decision should never be regarded lightly. When businesses consider SSL certificates; there six Golden Rules a purchaser should keep in mind.
