What's Happening in Information Security

Protecting information assets and critical infrastructure is increasingly challenging. There is no silver bullet and we've written several times about the role a SIEM solution can pay in defending against attacks. Everyone in the security community agrees that proactive applications of new technology and processes is essential to strengthening cyberdefense. 

I wanted to share a comprehensive research report sponsored by McAfee. You know that 
Intellitactics SAFE is a McAfee compatible SIEM featuring bi-directional integration with McAfee ePO. This research exposes some startling facts and gives you access to leading edge strategies to protecting critical infrastructure.

The survey data paints for the first time a detailed picture of the way those charged with the defense of critical IT networks are responding to cyber attacks, attempting to secure their systems and working with governments.

Highlights from the report include:

* Sixty-one percent of attacks on critical infrastructure include service disruption
* One in five critical infrastructure entities reported being the victim of extortion
* Nearly a third of those interviewed suffer large scale DDOS attacks multiple times each month, and nearly two thirds of those attacks impact operations

Download this report and then see how Intellitactics as a McAfee ePO partner can improve security effectiveness and the efficiency of security providers.
