Cloud Security Threats: Escaping the Egregious Eleven - Part Two

Depending on your familiarity with the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) publications, part one of this blog was intended as either an introduction or a nagging reminder of the ‘Egregious Eleven’ security threats to cloud computing.

What is an Incident Response Plan?

An incident response plan is a set of written instructions that outline your organization's response to data breaches, data leaks, cyber attacks and security incidents.

Why CJIS mobile compliance might be easier than you think

Although we just wrapped up National Cybersecurity Awareness Month in October, security professionals never take a break — because cybercriminals don’t either. That’s especially true for folks who work in law enforcement. Every day they are on the front lines helping to protect the public and solve crimes using Criminal Justice Information (CJI) such as crime reports and fingerprints.

8 Top Technical Resource Providers for ICS Security Professionals

Organizations are increasingly preoccupied with strengthening the digital security of their industrial control systems (ICS). They no doubt heard FireEye reveal that it had detected a second intrusion by the same actor behind Triton malware at a second critical infrastructure organization.
