In this IDC Perspective report, research director Abhi Dugar looks at IoT security in the context of widespread cloud adoption, paying special attention to enterprises that maintain hybrid deployments.

This research report identifies seven IoT devices that can be hacked in as little as three minutes and make organizations extremely vulnerable to attack. The ubiquity of these devices is a recipe for disaster that must be addressed through visibility and control of devices on the network.

As successful data breaches continue to occur with increased frequency, organizations must address core challenges instead of simply adding security products. In this white paper, IDC suggests that organizations adopt an “already breached” attitude that focuses on device visibility and detection.

Miercom analysts review results of its tests verifying the ForeScout platform’s ability to quickly discover, classify and assess endpoints, including unmanaged BYOD and IoT devices—without agents—and apply network and host-based controls to enforce security policy and remediation.

Continuous monitoring (CM) can result in continuous improvement that reduces attack surfaces and improves security postures according to this 2016 survey of 292 individuals actively involved in vulnerability assessment and remediation. 63% of respondents said CM was improving their security posture.

Without a full, detailed inventory of all your IT assets, your InfoSec team won’t be able to properly protect your organization because the things that pose the highest risk are the ones that you don’t know are there. For a long time, this basic requirement was fairly […]

One of the biggest challenges faced by information security teams today is how to effectively prioritize their vulnerability remediation work. Why? New vulnerabilities are disclosed every day, amounting to thousands per year. Burdened with this overload of vulnerability disclosures, infosec teams often get overwhelmed by the task at hand and throw up their hands in frustration. After all, no IT […]
