2015 Cost of Cyber Crime Study: Global

Discover the most salient findings of this enterprise security and intelligence study and learn what you can do to protect your organization.

There is significant variation in total cyber-crime costs among participating companies. The US sample reports the highest total average cost at $15 million and the Russian sample reports the lowest total average cost at $2.4 million. It is also interesting to note that Germany, Japan, Australia and Russia experienced a slight decrease in the cost of cyber-crime over the past year. The percentage net change between FY 2015 and FY 2014 is 1.9 percent.

Breach Response: How to Prepare for the Inevitable

To avoid being breached, you have to get your defenses right every single time. To breach you, hackers only have to get their attack right once. Experts advise breaches are inevitable. According to the 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

Outrunning the Bear: 5 critical ways to take a more collaborative approach to IT security

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 organization can take to turn security intelligence into action.

SANS Maturing and Specializing: Incident Response Capabilities Needed

The SANS 2015 survey of the incident response capabilities of more than 500 security professionals found good news and bad news. The good news is that reported malware incidents, breaches, and remediation time declined slightly compared to last year, indicating a maturing of defenses and incident response capabilities. The bad news is 37 percent of respondents said their teams are unable to distinguish malicious events from nonevents, and most organizations still experience significant impediments to incident response.

Read the 2015 survey results to learn:

• The kind of data most targeted by hackers
• Remediation practices used by respondents
• The threat intelligence and detection technologies that work
• The greatest impediments to fast and effective response

Few Fully Prepared for Software Security Risks

Hackers penetrate organizations and steal information through vulnerabilities in software applications. Yet less than half of IT organizations have confidence in the security of the software that runs their businesses. And just 11 percent say they know with confidence which applications are at risk. Those are among the findings of a Gatepoint survey on software security assurance (SSA) highlighted by this white paper.

Read the paper to learn:

• How many respondents have full-scale SSA programs in place
• How SSA works
• How much SSA has reduced remediation time
