How Do You Communicate Security Strategy to the C-Suite?
As the spate of high-profile breaches continues to hit big names like Wendy's, Snapchat, the IRS and US Department of Justice, no one is immune. The C-suite is taking notice but that doesn't mean executive management is willing write a blank check.

Is Complexity the Enemy of Security?
Security in large organizations today is akin to the fable about the blind men and the elephant. When your security tool touches just one area of the business - be it mobile, cloud, Internet of Things (IoT), endpoints or the data center - none have visibility across the whole attack surface. And that leaves the entire enterprise vulnerable to attack.
Fortinet Announces Acquisition of AccelOps
Sixty-percent of all security breaches result in stolen data starting within minutes of the breach and go undetected due to ineffective threat monitoring and security event correlation. In addition, the lack of a holistic view across organizations' entire distributed, multi-vendor networks and the growing quantity and complexity of threat information create big-data security challenges. With the acquisition of AccelOps, Fortinet extends its Security Fabric to address these challenges by combining security and compliance monitoring with advanced analytics for multi-vendor security solutions, enabling automated and actionable security intelligence from IoT to the cloud.

How Do You Help Your Employees Protect their Digital Identity?
The IoT security battle is lost if you're uncertain that the person or thing on the other end of an online transaction is actually who or what it claims to be. Most IoT attacks occur when malicious actors are able to replace an authentic sensor with a compromised device, or when unauthorized remote access is gained and transmits a false signal to a device. To prevent these kinds of attacks, digital identity must establish effective online trust for all connected ...

Is the Network Border Dead?
With the advent of the cloud, influx of mobile devices and growth of big data, the perimeter as we knew it is all but dead. The new reality is that we are now charged with defending a borderless network. That is by no means to say that we should stop protecting our network at the edge but do so with the understanding that advanced persistent threats (APT) will find their way inside our networks.
