The Social Security Administration (SSA) is looking to boost their cybersecurity practices and prevent data breaches. 

In order to help enterprise cybersecurity leaders reduce the amount of time spent integrating threat management and monitoring solutions, this solution provides application testing to add proven tool options to IntellaStore II for security, analysis, forensics, or network and application performance monitoring.

It takes months for most computer intrusion victims to learn they were breached.  Unfortunately, the hackers get busy much sooner, often stealing data within days if not minutes.

 Attackers used authorized credentials in more than 76 percent of network intrusions in 2013, allowing them to impersonate legitimate network traffic while conducting suspicious activities.  

The rate of CFOs citing cyber attacks as a key concern has risen sharply over the survey’s four-year history, directly correlating to both the frequency and cost of cyber attacks.

Small business doesn’t necessarily mean small data. In fact, according to Michael Bruemmer, vice president at Experian Data Breach Resolution, thieves prefer to target small- to medium­–sized businesses (SMBs) because many lack the resources or expertise to manage cybersecurity. Retailers are especially easy targets for cybercriminals who look to hijack credit card data, but customers aren’t the only victims.
