THE APP GENERATION

Today’s youth is the first generation to define itself by technology, rather than by pivotal political or economic events. These young people are comfortable with every aspect of technology and our book “The App Generation: How Today’s Youth Navigate Identity, Intimacy, and Imagination in a Digital World,” uncovered new insights into the influence of technology on young people’s identities and the way they see the world.

LA GÉNÉRATION APPLIS

La prochaine génération à entrer dans la population active a grandi dans un monde largement influencé par les appareils mobiles.

Pour les jeunes d'aujourd'hui, l'expression "il y a une appli pour ça" n'est pas juste un slogan publicitaire accrocheur. C'est un truisme, une réponse à plus ou moins toutes les questions qu'ils se sont jamais posées et une approche à chaque tâche. Peut-on en dire autant de la façon de travailler actuelle ? Eh bien, pas vraiment. On n'est plus dans le "il se pourrait qu'il y ait une appli pour ça, mais il faut que vous demandiez au service informatique, et elle pourrait être bloquée, ou ne pas fonctionner sur votre téléphone, et...", bref, ce n'est pas encore aussi évident qu'on pourrait le croire.

APP-GENERATIE REPORT

De hedendaagse jeugd is de eerste generatie die zijn identiteit ontleent aan technologie in plaats van aan cruciale politieke of economische gebeurtenissen. Deze jongeren voelen zich met elk technologisch aspect volledig op hun gemak en in ons boek "The App Generation: How Today’s Youth Navigate Identity, Intimacy, and Imagination in a Digital World", onthullen we nieuwe inzichten over de invloed van technologie op de identiteit van jongeren en de manier waarop zij de wereld zien.

WP Enemies in Our Midst

It’s not a question of if your organization will be breached. It’s a question of when.

Most attackers remain active in environments for a significant amount of time before being discovered. And only a small percentage of organizations discover the presence of advanced attackers themselves—most need to be informed by law enforcement or a proactive third-party security firm. By then, an attacker could do a great deal of damage.

A compromise assessment answers the all-important question: Have you been breached?

WP Uncomfortable Trade Off

Recent high-profile security breaches, underscore how destructive a breach can be to an organization's reputation and financial stability.
Many of these headline-grabbing targeted attacks are based on monetary profit, political gain, or data theft, and are a result of an active, persistent pursuit with the intent to compromise the target’s infrastructure.
When customer data is stolen, the damage to an organization can be swift – and costly. With awareness of cyber security risks at all-time highs, investments are pouring into security technologies.
But how do you know if you are investing in the right set of security tools and threat intelligence?

RPT M-Trends 2016

M-Trends 2016 provides trends, statistics and case studies to illustrate how advanced threat actors have evolved over the past year.
The annual report was compiled by consultants at Mandiant, a FireEye company, and is based on hundreds of Mandiant incident response investigations in more than 30 industry sectors. It offers recommendations on how organizations can improve the way they prevent, detect, analyze and respond to cyber attacks.

WP Protecting Your Data

Today's security defenses are failing because, in the battle against cybercrime, security teams are using an outdated arsenal. They rely too heavily on legacy platforms that leverage technology dependent upon signatures—and while these platforms may be good at blocking basic malware that is known and documented, they stand little chance against today's sophisticated, dynamic cyber attacks that occur across multiple vectors and stages.

In this guide for CIOs, CFOs, and CISOs, FireEye provides insight into the cyber security problem facing enterprises and government agencies today.
