Enterprise Security

Protecting everything from mobile workers to the Internet of Things (IoT)

Today’s enterprise is battling an invisible enemy that’s more difficult

than ever to defeat: the hacker. As criminals get better at what they do,

you need to stay ahead of them to keep your data, your customers and

your company safe. In this ebook, we’ll provide an overview of what’s

happening in the world of enterprise security, and what you

can do to protect your organization now and into the future.

Are hackers getting smarter?Not likely, but they appear to be overcoming even the toughest security

obstacles with new types of attacks that get around our defenses.

Beyond the networkAs the workforce has gone mobile, IT has added security measures

such as policies and security settings on devices and applications.

Unfortunately, what we’re doing now may not be enough.

Into the cloud

You should:

True or false:When you move data to the

public cloud, it’s protected.

Answer:False

It’s a common misconception that the cloud

provider is responsible and has taken every possible

precaution to ensure your data is protected. The

truth is, the burden ultimately falls on you to ensure

your critical data is safe, no matter where it is.

Know the value of your information.

Analyze and decide what should and should

not go to the cloud.

Make sure your data is secure if/when it is moved

from cloud to cloud.

IoT

Security for the Internet of Things (IoT)

The IoT, although not yet as widespread

as predicted, already has set off

security alarms with analysts and IT

professionals. Within the IoT are:

• Smart devices with outdated security

• Devices that store massive amounts of vulnerable information

• Devices that communicate with consumers on their devices

So, what can be done? • Adapt to the new security requirements.

• Add monitoring and other systems

of protection.

• Add human effort on top of technology.

• Invest in people, processes and

technology, or outsource all or part of it.

Software is not enough.The “set it and forget it” days of enterprise security are over.

Security layers and software are simply not enough to battle

today’s sophisticated hacks.

When to outsourceOutsourcing security to trusted service providers is cost-effective and smart for:

Companies that don’t have the capital to invest in security infrastructure

Companies that need security fast but don’t have resources on hand

How to know when you’re “safe”Let’s be honest. As long as there is an Internet and

bad guys, there will be data breaches. All you can

do is build walls that keep the bad guys out,

and keep a very close eye on the perimeter.

Smart companies have an up-to-date

data breach response plan as well.
