Secure Value by Understanding that Cybercrime Increasing Faster than Company Defenses

How are your company's defenses? Don't forget to tend to them as your run and grow your business!

Tonight I read the 2010 CyberSecurity Watch Survey. "The 2010 CSO CyberSecurity Watch Survey was sponsored by Deloitte and conducted in 2009 in collaboration with CSO Magazine, the U.S. Secret Service, and the CERT Coordination Center at Carnegie Mellon."

The report hit close to home because in the past 30 days we have:

begun projects with several firms that have had web sites targeted and attacked;
assisted a firm manage an longstanding employee out of the organization because he had "quit and stayed", taking an offer from a competitor while continuing to "work", explore available confidential information and download it, and;
developed an incident handling and forensic process for a large Software as a Service (SaaS).

The report is a quick read (16 pages). I suggest you dive into it and then use it to talk to your HR and IT management to make sure you are properly protected.
