IT Security Trends and Directions

Sanjit Sinha, Associate VP, Research, IDC India

Despite much effort, investments and technology advancements, security is still a challenge. Why? We have come a long way, with many business-enabling technologies that allow us to do business in different ways than we could before. These introduce many new security threat vectors. Opening our organisations makes us vulnerable to new security threats leading to growing security complexity. 

Proliferation of applications and devices that need to be managed also leads to growth in management complexity. The proliferation of virtual machines, and the need to manage virtual environments is another example of adding another layer of complexity to system management and security Web apps and Web 2.0 are coming into the enterprise. All this is unknown territory for IT managements. to navigate through this veritable security maze.

Listen to Sanjit Sinha, Associate VP, Research, IDC India on the way forward to navigate through this veritable security maze.

Data Leak Prevention: Addressing the Insider Threat

Abhinav Karnwal, Technical Marketing Manager, APAC, Trend Micro

Loss of proprietary information and intellectual property can trigger fines, litigation, brand damage, and bad press. According to the Ponemon Institute, 78 percent of data breaches come from authorised insiders of an organisation. To protect sensitive data, enterprises need an effective data leak prevention (DLP) solution that monitors potential information leaks at the point of use. However, the explosion of messaging systems, wireless networking, and USB storage devices has made the protection of critical enterprise data difficult. As a result, enterprises are experiencing an increase in the loss or theft of data assets by employees or contractors who accidentally or maliciously leak data. 

In today’s virtual enterprise, it’s rarely practical or cost-effective to search employees for iPods or other USB devices. A more comprehensive, effective system for preventing data leaks is required at every port, on every endpoint in the enterprise, and on any network whether corporate, public, or WAN.

Since most breaches are accidental, companies have an opportunity to better protect enterprise data by educating employees on the proper handling of information. Data leak prevention technology should not only monitor and prevent leaks, but help to educate and raise awareness of employees about company policies and procedures for handling sensitive data. Plus, meeting compliance regulations such as SB-1386, GLBA, EU DPD, Sarbanes-Oxley, and HIPAA requires intelligent content filtering solutions that enforce security policies.

“Dirty Money on the Wires” – The business model of cyber criminals

Vishak Raman, Regional Manager – India & SAARC, Fortinet Inc. 

Scammers, Phishers, Bot Herders, Spammers, Online Extortionists and Identity thieves...

The names may seem obscure, but their intent is not: they are all out to steal our money. It is no secret that today, cyber crime is draining massive amounts of money every year, all around the globe. Today's cyber criminals combine social engineering, viruses, trojans and spyware to target average, everyday users.

There are several questions that we must try and understand in order to fight these cyber criminals: who are the culprits and do they fit any standard profile? What is their business model and how easy is it to set up? Through which channels is the cyber crime money flowing and who is getting this money, eventually? Is the "real" organised criminals - the so-called mob - implicated at certain levels in the model?

This session will attempt to shed some light on these questions. 

Answers will be developed, correlated and backed up by concrete data, numbers, and figures.

Every business, however large or small has some web-based application or the other driving business processes, enabling higher efficiency and productivity. A scenario where the application is not secure and either hacked or attacked can mean disaster for the business. Loss of revenue, time, energy, business continuity and not to forget credibility can cripple years of hard work. This session will help delegates understand:

• Application security as the trend of the future.

• Web applications – forms and failures

• Web Technology – Hacker’s Heaven
