How does your cyber security program compare to other companies? Where do your security people, processes, and technology place you among peer organizations? And more important, what should be your next steps to improve your program?

Based on their research, Enterprise Strategy Group has developed a cyber security maturity model that classifies organizations as basic, progressing, or advanced. Read this report to learn:

• The security philosophy exhibited by basic, progressing, and advanced organizations
• How organizations at each level of maturity apply people and technology
• The characteristics of security processes found at each maturity level
• The recommended advancement steps for organizations at each level

Your ability to detect and stop cyber attacks depends on the effectiveness of your security operations team. How does yours stack up to the best? And what should you do to improve?

HPE Security Intelligence and Operations Consulting has assessed the capabilities of 87 security operations centers worldwide. This updated 2015 report bring you the latest information. Read it to learn:

Home security and remote monitoring systems are one of the immediate applications for the Internet of Things (IoT). They can alert you to fires and intrusions, provide a reassuring view inside your home, and let you control your home systems remotely. But could they—and other IoT applications—open your home to hackers?

A new study by Hewlett Packard Enterprise Security, "Internet of Things Security Study: Home Security Systems Report," uses HPE Fortify on Demand to explore the cyber security features of 10 leading systems. You need to understand the results if you are considering a home security system—or any of the IoT applications coming down the pike. Read the report to learn the glaring security problems found in almost all systems tested.

Agile development organizations often see application security considerations as impediments to the rapid release cycles they strive for. But releasing software with vulnerabilities opens the door to hackers and puts the entire business at risk. How do you develop an application security program that protects the business without impacting time to market?

This white paper explores the tension between development and security teams and proposes an approach to building security into the software development lifecycle. Read it to learn:

• The five elements needed to build security into the development process
• How to use automated security scanning to make application security more reliable and efficient
• How HP Fortify can help you get started quickly

A new survey from IDG Research Services tells the story: most organizations lack confidence in the ability of their security defenses to keep them safe. In fact, more than half said 100% security is a pipe dream. This summary by Network World lays out the facts but also presents an approach to detect malware and prevent it from spreading throughout the network.

Read the summary to learn:

• How respondents view their security measures
• Why a layered approach to security is now necessary
• How HP TippingPoint Advanced Threat Appliance "detonates" suspicious files or malware in a safe sandbox environment to stop it before it can spread
