 Advanced persistent threats (APT) and insider threats are the two most acute security threats. These threats not only cause significant damage to national security, but also impact organizational momentum and have enormous cleanup costs.

​No matter the reason behind an insider attack, the cost to the business can be very high. In addition to the time and money required to restore security to systems and notify victims, the total cost involves things like the loss of confidential information, the consequences of failing to satisfy compliance regulations such as GDPR, harm to the organization's reputation that can result in lost customers, and disruption of critical systems such as Active Directory.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has the power to transform the way we live — improving the quality of our health care, making government more efficient, spurring economic growth, and transforming education for future generations. But AI is also emerging as the prize in an increasingly competitive geopolitical environment, with American rivals investing in AI to shift the military, political, and economic balance of power against the U.S.

Is data the new bacon? The world’s most valuable resource? The fuel that powers the digital enterprise? Whatever metaphor you choose, the point holds that the most successful companies in the world build their business around compelling insights derived from data.

This Dummies book is your essential pocket guide for those looking to assure the availability and quality of their Unified Communications & Collaboration (UC&C) services. It provides a comprehensive reference, including innovative case studies on UC&C service assurance, what it is, how it can benefit your infrastructure, your organisations and IT professionals, as well as ideas on the best way to implement it.

Knowing what’s happening on the network is important; knowing why it’s happening is the new imperative for the digital enterprise.

Federal agencies are using multiple public clouds in addition to on-premises private and non-cloud infrastructures. This mutli-cloud adoption is creating increasingly complex environments and making it difficult to manage and protect data. Without proper data management, hybrid and multi-cloud environments can quickly become just another series of expensive and risky silos. All cloud migration strategies should encompass data management best practices to maximize cloud adoption benefits while minimizing risk.

This document is an update to the 2015 whitepaper and considers new controls introduced in the “Initial Public Draft” of NIST SP 800-53 Revision 5 and includes TippingPoint in the compliancy analysis.

Device security is no longer about traditional antivirus versus next-generation endpoint protection. The truth is you need a layered and integrated defense that protects your entire digital terrain and all types of devices—traditional and nontraditional. ESG Senior Principal Analyst Jon Oltsik frames it this way: "… endpoint security should no longer be defined as antivirus software. No disrespect to tried-and-true AV, but endpoint security now spans a continuum that includes advanced prevention technologies, endpoint security controls, and advanced detection/response tools."

Insider cybersecurity threats are much more prevalent than most of us realize. IBM estimates that 60% of all cyberattacks are perpetrated by those with insider access1; McAfee cites enterprise insiders as a major source of Personally Identifiable Information (PII) sold on the dark web, particularly in the healthcare industry; and at least two-thirds of major corporations reported insider threat incidents in 20163 ranging from file theft and destruction to selling passwords and deliberately sabotaging critical systems. Over 40% of U.S. government agencies report such incidents every year. It's a serious—yet incredibly overlooked—risk.

Year after year, investigations performed after breaches and other security incidents reveal that the majority of security incidents occur because well-known security controls and practices were not implemented or were not working as organizations had assumed. And the major problem in cyber security remains a lack of defined and repeatable processes for selecting, implementing and monitoring the security controls that are most effective against real-world threats.
