Similar to the business intelligence tools and underlying data warehouses that delivered business decision support capabilities at the end of the last millennium, security intelligence tools and underlying data warehouses are now needed to deliver security, risk, and compliance decision support capabilities in the new millennium. While many point products are straining to fill this need, none are sufficiently capable:

• Traditional data warehouses lack security context and struggle with the unstructured nature of event data
• Traditional security information and event management (SIEM) systems do not scale to support the sheer volume and long-term storage requirements of an event data warehouse
• Traditional log management systems lack the real-time monitoring functionality necessary to keep pace with critical operations such as security incident response

Read this paper to learn about Security Intelligence and Event Data Warehouse solutions that are purpose-built to address the decision support requirements of security, risk, and compliance operations.

Despite Continued Data Breach Incidents, Many Companies Still Use Unsecure Technologies Including Email, Courier, Postal Service and FTP to Exchange Highly-Sensitive Data

NEWTON, Mass. - December 16, 2009 - With global organizations depending on the sharing of sensitive information to support everything from financial transactions to patient care records, many believe they are relying on secure methods to exchange data with trusted partners. But are they? Cyber-Ark® the leading global software provider for protecting critical applications, identities and information, conducted research to better understand how organizations transfer sensitive documents with external partners.

Based on the research, a vast majority of respondents1 (80 percent), believed they were using secure methods to exchange files internally and between third party vendors. However, when questioned in more detail, only 13 percent were actually using safe, auditable transfer processes. These findings indicate a significant and alarming gap between perceived security, and real vulnerability. Specifically, Cyber-Ark's findings showed that respondents typically relied on FTP technology (43 percent), "secure email" (32 percent), regular email (20 percent), courier services (11 percent) and postal service (9 percent) to handle data transmission.

"As data breaches continue to be increasingly prevalent, costly and damaging, organizations must step up their efforts to ensure that their sensitive data is being exchanged and transferred in a secure manner that also meets audit and compliance requirements," said Udi Mokady, CEO of Cyber-Ark Software. "However, the survey findings clearly demonstrate that the most common methods used for file transfer are often the least secure, and lack manageability and governance. In recent months we have received an increasing number of inquiries regarding Cyber-Ark's Inter-Business Vault, which suggests an elevated awareness of the weaknesses of current solutions and the need to make improvements."
