Wireless security in LTE networks

June 6, 2012

When using smartphonesto make a call, socialize with friends, check traffic or watch a video, few subscribers are concerned about security – of the device, of the content or of the network. They are more likely to be concerned about having good coverage, a fast connection or sufficient battery life than whether their mobile data traffic is protected. The mobile security record to date has been quite good. Because voice-dominated networks have been built on proprietary interfaces, mobile networks have been difficult to penetrate, and have provided less incentive for malicious attacks than the more open and data-rich IT networks.

Cyber Risk Appetite: Defining and Understanding Risk in the Modern Enterprise

whitePaper | January 16, 2020

Managing risk is a balancing act for organizations of all sizes and disciplines. While some organizations take on too much risk, others arguably do not take on enough. Complicating this equation is the emergence of cyber as one of the most impactful sources of risk in the modern enterprise. In fact, cyber security is now increasingly reviewed by corporate boards of directors and often discussed with financial analysts who see cyber security risk as an imminent and paramount business risk. Because the consequences of cyber security failures can be damaging to business revenues and brand reputation, CEOs have lost their positions as a result of data breaches and inept preparation and planning.

2020 Cyber Security Predictions

whitePaper | January 28, 2020

This year there are some common themes that endure, so we’ll highlight these as “work in progress”. Transformations often take longer than 12 months to be identifi ed as necessary, to be executed and to become established. However, there are other themes emerging through a combination of drivers from audit, compliance security and governance that are now showing signs of infl uencing the way that cyber risks are managed in a much shorter timescale.
