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

Continuous monitoring is among the latest approaches to keep your company safe from hackers. And according to this SANS survey, most organizations claim to have a program for monitoring systems and activities for unauthorized changes, vulnerabilities, abnormal operation, and needed patches. But how effective are they?

Read the complete SANS survey report to learn what most companies are monitoring, how often, and what they are finding. Most important, understand why the author claims most continuous monitoring programs—even those viewed as mature by their operators—fall well short of what it takes to keep hackers out.

Discover how enterprise security best practices can help you avoid suffering financial losses, damage to your brand, and damage to customer relationships caused by undetected or detected too late cyber attacks.

On average, advanced attacks now persist in the network seven months before they are detected. The time to resolve those attacks once detected has increased by 221 percent to 45 days.

This paper shows you how you can tap into the best threat intelligence solutions and what new ideas you can use in your organization to find the needle in the haystack that indicates hackers are at work.
