eGestalt - Dealing with Next Generation Cyber-Security Threats and Business Compliance Risks - Are You Ready?

Abstract:

Are you looking to deal with the next generation cyber security threats and business compliance risks in a cost-effective manner? Security breaches are leaving a trail of huge losses – for businesses and individuals. As per a market survey done in 2009, corporations have lost US$1 Trillion worldwide as a result of data loss, accidental or malicious. No segment remains untouched – retail, technology firms, medical industry, and even the government and defense. Costs from the largest computer data breach in corporate history at TJX, in which more than 94 million customer Credit and Debit card numbers were stolen was estimated at US$ 256 million! In the Heartland Payment System breach, intruders hacked into the computer that processes 100 million payment card transactions per month for 175,000 merchants. Cleaning up this mess could be potentially much more expensive than any fines or penalties. The cost of this breach is expected to be even greater than TJX. Gartner analysts estimate that the cost of sensitive data break will increase 20 percent per year from 2009. Governments have stepped in through regulations – PCI-DSS, SOX, GLBA, HIPAA, FISMA, COBiT, ISO 27001, and so on to protect the domain specific data from getting into the hands of cyber-criminals.

As organizations deploy more tools and more technologies to deal with threats, regulations and IT operational issues, managing security becomes significantly complex. There is a need for a new approach to compliance management and Information security as current tools are proving to be ineffective and inadequate.
