Software applications support the most sensitive and strategically important business processes of most enterprises. Yet application security is one of the most neglected fields of cybersecurity.
IT and business management typically have no visibility into the overall state of application security. Activities for assessing, prioritizing and remediating application vulnerabilities are ad hoc, fragmented and carried out at low levels in the IT security organization. Quality assurance and software development groups lack the knowledge and incentives to address critical vulnerabilities early in application development lifecycles, where testing and fixing vulnerabilities are most cost-effective.
Ponemon Institute is pleased to present the findings of the 2017 Study on Mobile and Internet of Things Application Security sponsored by IBM and Arxan Technologies. The purpose of this research is to understand how companies are reducing the risk of mobile apps and Internet of Things (IoT) in the workplace. The risks created by mobile apps have been well researched and documented. This study reveals how companies are unprepared for risks created by vulnerabilities in IoT apps.
To meet always-evolving mission objectives, government agencies need IT flexibility and scalability. Citrix Cloud Government ensures access to high-performance IT resources by enabling agencies to deploy, manage, and optimize Citrix workspace solutions on any government-grade infrastructure.
It’s a cloud-based management platform that runs on FedRAMP High Baseline certified infrastructure—and it’s built to enable the simplicity, scalability, and performance your agency needs.
The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will go into force on May 25, 2018. Every organization — regardless of its location — doing business with EU customers will need to make changes to its oversight, technology, processes, and people to comply with the new rules. But where should you start? This report helps security and privacy professionals understand five core GDPR requirements and two related changes they need to start tackling today.
Fear of data misuse has led to both general and industry-specific data-privacy regulations worldwide that many organizations now must meet, and it’s important to embrace their requirements. The role of data-holding organizations has increasingly shifted to being stewards of information, in particular in the United States and the European Union (EU). And failure to comply with regulations can mean not only reputational damage, but substantial fines and even jail time. Just meeting compliance mandates, though, may not help you actively spot and stop a data breach.
Database security is a broad section of information security that concerns itself with protecting databases against compromises of their integrity, confidentiality and availability. It covers various security controls for the information itself stored and processed in database systems, underlying computing and network infrastructures, as well as applications accessing the data.
Guardium software provides a comprehensive solution for physical, virtual and cloud infrastructures through centralized, automated security controls across heterogeneous environments. Guardium helps streamline compliance and reduce risk, and offers installready images for IaaS deployments on major cloud platforms, such as IBM SoftLayer®, Microsoft Azure, and Amazon Web Services, and operating across Microsoft Windows, UNIX and Linux environments. The flexible Guardium architecture allows for several different deployment models. You can choose the system architecture that works for your enterprise: Guardium components can all be deployed in the cloud, or you can choose to keep some of those components, such as a central manager, on-premises.
Data—dynamic, in demand and distributed—is challenging to secure. But you need to protect sensitive data, whether it’s stored on-premises, off-site, or in big-data, private- or hybrid-cloud environments. Protecting sensitive data can take many forms, but nearly any organization needs to keep its data accessible, protect data from loss or compromise, and comply with a raft of regulations and mandates. These can include the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) and the European Union (EU). General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Even in the cloud, where you may have less immediate control, you must still control your sensitive data—and compliance mandates still apply.
Healthcare is moving to the cloud and HIPPA regulations still apply. Two key challenges healthcare organizations have when moving to the cloud is preventing the accidental sharing of ePHI via cloud applications and the takeover of your user’s SaaS accounts by hackers due to phishing attacks. Avanan connects to any SaaS or IaaS in one click via API connection. Secure all of your cloud applications from business suites like Office 365, G-Suite, to Citrix ShareFile, and everything in between. With the click of a button, protect your enterprise Office 365, Box, G Suite, or any other SaaS application with cloud-based versions of security technology from best-of-breed vendors like Check Point, Symantec, and McAfee.
Healthcare is migrating to the cloud, putting HIPAA regulations in a new context. Moving clinical and business data into Software as a Service (SaaS) or Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) improves scalability, interoperability, and cost—but cloud adoption must not be at the expense of security or compliance.
This whitepaper identifies challenges of enforcing HIPAA compliance in the cloud, and offers technical solutions that address these requirements in order to provide lasting security for ePHI.
Since 1977, Capital Caring has improved care for those facing life-limiting illness through public education, advocacy, and direct support of patients and their families. Over 650 employees and 850 volunteers offer hospice, palliative care, and counseling to more than a thousand patients and their families each day. They turned to Avanan to help stop email based phishing attacks that were targeting their O365 users.

While intended for system administration and the automation of daily maintenance and management tasks, PowerShell has become a preferred tool for cybercriminals. Using the framework’s flexibility to carry out reconnaissance, download payloads, and create lateral movement, threat actors are able to quickly create malicious scripts capable of downloading payloads, sniffing out passwords or even downloading and installing PowerShell if it isn’t already installed on the targeted computer. Fileless malware is able to intrude the system through PowerShell vulnerabilities, which raises the concern of PowerShell security issues for security leaders. This whitepaper delves into PowerShell's popularity amongst cyber hackers, how it is being leeched onto by threat actors, and how to protect your endpoints from increasing threat.
