Protecting
Intellectual Property, Employee and Consumer Data,
and Peace of Mind
In
today's turbulent world, many U.S. authorities state hacking
of networks and intrusions to steal or change data are a form
of terrorism just as a serious threat as ISIS. From our government
agencies to hospitals, retailers to banks, movie studios to
utility companies, unscrupulous individuals and governments
are trying to gain control of equipment running electrical
power plants and water dams, to stealing employee data as
social security numbers and medical records.
No
matter what the illegal intrusion is, it can cost your organization
more than the money it would take to fix your IT department's
security. Think as... paying credit service companies as LifeLock
to cover 1000's of employees against further losses due to
unauthorized purchases. And have you considered the damage
to your organization's reputation in the marketplace? Employee
morale? Consumers confidence being shaken using their credit
and debit cards in the future on your brand?
The
cold hard truth for any Fortune 500 CEO or SMB business owner,
and of course CISO's and CTO's is that... no company
is safe from attempts of network intrusions because criminals
and foreign governments have nothing to lose by trying!
Just
a few 2015 cyber statistics at-a-glance:
-
Cyber
security incidents have surged 38% since 2014.
-
Malicious
cyber attacks cost US $300B to $1 Trillion
a year!
-
Data
breaches average $154 per record, while the
average cost per data breach has reached $3.79M.
-
Attackers
often have more than 200 days before being
discovered.
-
Privilege
misuse is #3 out of nine attack patterns found
in 96% of all breaches, according to the 2015
Verizon
Data
Breach Investigations Report
-
While
deal makers are generally aware
of the effect that cyber security
risks can have on a pending
M&A deal, 78 percent “believe
cyber security is not analyzed
in great depth or specifically
quantified as part of the M&A
due diligence process.”
-
Asked
which stage of an attack is
the most difficult to mitigate:
61 percent of IT security executives
cited privileged account takeover;
versus 44 percent in 2014
What
is your organization's cyber security disconnect?
-
80
percent of board members say that cyber security
is discussed at most or all board meetings,
yet, two-thirds of CIOs and CISOs say senior
leaders in their organization don’t
view cyber security as a strategic priority.
-
Despite
almost daily reports revealing the
contrary, 44% of organizations still believe
they can keep attackers off their network
entirely.
-
28%
of organizations claim to have a “problematic”
shortage of cyber security skills on-staff
