"How to Secure Your Mobile Workforce Across Hybrid Data Environments"

In today’s distributed work environment, Identity is the new perimeter, so it should come as no surprise that attackers consider identities both on-premises and in the cloud as High-Value Targets. With a valid identity, attackers can move laterally, escalate privileges, identify critical servers, and execute damaging attacks. Fortunately, Identity Security addresses identity risks and detects identity-based attacks.

Just last year, cybercriminals attempted to poison the water supply in Florida by hacking into a city’s system. An airplane manufacturer’s confidential customer data files were breached and leaked on the Internet. A major gas pipeline was shut down by a ransomware attack. A major meat producer was forced to close down all its plants. Hackers are now targeting industrial and infrastructure. At the same time, more and more facilities are going to connected operations to empower new efficiencies. How do we keep our facilities protected amid these growing dangers and opportunities?

More than ever before, companies are investing heavily in their organization's security. But as the threat landscape changes, how do you know that these investments in security are paying off — and how can you determine that you are investing the appropriate amount of security spending in the areas that matter most to your organization? Security ratings and the analytics they provide give businesses a unique insight into their organization's security performance and posture in relation to their peer group.

Every company is concerned about data breaches, and for good reason—according to industry estimates, approximately half of the companies in the U.S. have suffered a data breach. As organizations seek to better secure their environments, they are facing a number of challenges including growing data volumes and expanded attack surfaces, as well as data silos and the inability to enable data-driven decisions about security issues in real time. It is not surprising that security and privacy rank in the top three data-related priorities in TDWI surveys.
