In 2014 detected cyber security incidents rose sharply to 42.8 million, and the financial impact of cyber crime increased by 34 percent. An effective cyber security program has never been more important. And an effective program must not only attempt to detect and block incoming threats, it must detect and neutralize successful attacks before the damage is done.

This white paper explains why advanced threat detection is now a necessary part of any cyber security program. Read it to learn:

• Why early detection is key
• The elements of an effective advanced threat detection solution
• How HP TippingPoint Advanced Threat Appliance detects threats and works with TippingPoint Next-Generation IPS and Next-Generation Firewalls to shut down attacks.

We're making it easy for hackers. New technologies like mobile, Big Data, and the Internet of Things expand the attack surface and bring new technologies they can exploit. In addition, weaknesses in code that is decades old and common problems like server misconfiguration, weak passwords, and poor coding practices open doors that should have been closed long ago. To protect your business, you need an in-depth understanding of the evolving threat landscape and how hackers exploit it to penetrate defenses and steal data.

The HP Cyber Risk Report 2015 brings you the information you need. This comprehensive report culminates a year-long effort by one of the most capable and respected security research organizations in the world. It's packed with more than 70 pages of detail including:

• The common, well-known problems that continue to plague cyber security
• Security trends in Windows, Linux, and mobile OSs
• Why security pros were unprepared for Heartbleed and similar events
• Why multi-layer defenses are now required

Headlines featuring large-scale cyber breaches at Target, Home Depot, Sony Pictures, and others have taught us one thing—no-one is safe. But who are the hackers who are able to pull off such huge attacks against sophisticated targets, including the U.S. Government? And how do they do it?

This new report will help you learn more about hackers and how they work. And that can help you better plan and deploy your own defenses. Read it to understand:

• The attack methods hackers use
• Why simple approaches like phishing still work
• How HP Security Research provides actionable security intelligence that can help make your organization safer

Studies show the average time to resolve a security breach once detected is more than 45 days, and companies lose more than $1.6 million during that time. The obstacles to faster response include lack of resources and an inability to effectively communicate and collaborate among the multiple teams and tools larger enterprises rely on for protection.

This white paper examines the "outrun the bear" approach prevalent in IT security: you don't have to outrun the hackers; you just have to outrun other companies. It examines the challenges inhibiting faster response, and it offers five critical steps an organization can take to turn security intelligence into action.

To avoid being breached, you have to get it right every single time. To breach you, hackers only have to get it right once. Experts advise breaches are inevitable. And according to Ponemon Institute, the average time to resolve a cyber attack is 45 days, with an average cost of $35,647 per day. The key to minimizing damage is preparation.

This white paper tells you what you need to know to be prepared for a breach. Read it to understand:

• The right breach mindset
• Response team composition
• Communication needs with employees and customers
• Legal notification requirements
• The technologies that can help

As the incidence and cost of cyber crime have escalated, organizations have responded by establishing security operations centers (SOCs) to detect and counter cyber attack and to assure compliance with industry guidelines. But how capable are SOCs, and where is the greatest opportunity for improvement?

HP Security Intelligence and Operations Consulting has performed maturity assessments evaluating people, processes and technology in 69 SOCs. This report presents their findings on the measured maturity level of SOCs by industry. Read it to understand:

• Areas needing the most improvement
• Lessons learned
• Recommendations on target maturity levels for enterprises and managed security service providers

In a December 2011 Forrester Research study, more than 200 survey respondents identified three top drivers for modernization: cost; functionality; and the need for innovation. This research shows that agencies can improve service delivery and reduce costs by proactively evaluating their information technology infrastructure.

This Technology Spotlight discusses the benefits of HP's Technology Services and how IT environments can take advantage of these services to help increase efficiency, decrease the time IT needs to delivery services to the business, increase uptime and SLA's, and improve business application performance. In addition, this paper explores how HP services can help organizations ease the deployment challenges associated with rolling out infrastructure that helps improve optimization levels that drive business performance.

Imagine an environment where business decisions drive application choices of policy, with no regard for infrastucture, where best practives are implemented based soley on business requirements - and a "guaranteed service level" means just that. The IT of the future will be an elaborate business operation unencumbered by past technology decisions, one capable of providing exact service levels to multiple constituencies while continually optimizing costs. In this environment, IT will evolve into an even more valuable "weapon" for the business, with the ability to react quickly and cost-effectively, to deliver seamless user experience and become a true digital enterprise that leverages digital technology as a competitive advantage.

Protecting your business-critical applications without impacting performance is proving ever more challenging in the face of unrelenting data growth, stringent recovery service level agreements (SLAs) and increasingly virtualized environments. Traditional approaches to data protection are unable to cost-effectively deliver the end-to-end availability and protection that your applications and hypervisors demand. A faster, easier, more efficient, and reliable way to protect data is needed.
