Top 9 Data Security Trends for 2012


With the Epsilon mega-breach, malicious mobile apps on the rise, Lulzsec, Anonymous, APT and the collapse of News of the World all within the past 12 months, 2011 was a good year if you were a hacker.

Join Imperva CTO, Amichai Shulman, as he reveals the Imperva Application Defense Center's top nine security predictions for 2012 as well as key changes in the legal/compliance landscape.

Here is a sneak peek at our expert's forecast:
  • HTML 5 Goes Live: Expect hackers to shift their focus from vulnerabilities in browser add-ons to vulnerabilities in the browsers themselves due to the recent adoption of HTML5 standard.
  • DDoS Moves Up the Stack: Expect attackers to increase the sophistication and effectiveness of distributed denial-of-service attacks (DDoS) by shifting from network level attacks to application level attacks, and even business logic level attacks.
  • Internal Collaboration Meets its Evil Twin: Expect to see a growing number of data breaches from internal collaboration platforms used externally.

The State of Application Security: What Hackers Break


Companies of all sizes face a universal security threat from today's organized hacking industry. Why? Hackers are decreasing costs and expanding their reach with tools and technologies that allow for automated attacks against Web applications. The hacker's arsenal includes armies of zombies (i.e. global networks of compromised computers) that access large amounts of personal and corporate data that can be sold on the black market.

As part of Imperva's ongoing Hacker Intelligence Initiative, we monitored and categorized individual attacks across the Internet over a period of six months. This webinar will detail the results of this research, which encompasses attacks witnessed via onion router (TOR) traffic as well as attacks targeting 30 different enterprise and government Web applications. The research includes:
  • Insight into how automation allows hackers to generate 7 attacks per second
  • Overview of the top vulnerabilities exploited by hackers: directory traversal, cross-site scripting (XSS), SQL injection, and remote file inclusion (RFI)
  • Detail into which countries generate the most malicious activity
  • Recommendations, both technical and nontechnical, for security teams and executives

More Than a Check Box: Evaluating PCI's Worth
May 25, 2011

More Than a Check Box: Evaluating PCI's Worth


PCI compliant organizations suffer fewer data breaches, yet most security professionals view compliance with contempt, study shows.

Are you among many security professionals who do not believe in the benefits of compliance? How are organizations reducing data breaches with inexpensive, efficient, and compliant data security? As security analyst Mike Rothman noted, "Focus on the basics, and remember PCI is your friend. Sure we security folks beat on it, but it clearly represents basic security, which reduces the odds of a successful automated attack."

This webinar, featuring Imperva Director of Security Strategy, Rob Rachwald, will highlight results from the Imperva sponsored "PCI DSS Compliance Trends Study" released by the Ponemon Institute. The presentation will answer the following questions:
  • How do organizations approach, and implement, PCI security programs?
  • How do organizations budget for PCI to achieve maximum impact?
  • How do organizations recognize the warning signs of a malicious insider and act before a crisis arises?
  • What technologies do organizations deploy to achieve inexpensive, efficient, and compliant data security?

March 2, 2011

Botnets and Client Malware Shake IT Departments


For about 74% of IT decision makers, the Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack, has wreaked havoc on their organization in the past 12 months, researchers say.*

Responsible for nearly all large-scale attacks, botnets have infiltrated millions of computers, caused incalculable damage, and elevated the threat to high priority in most IT security departments.

At the same time, perpetrators continue to make use of client side malware to the point where it is no longer an individual consumer problem but rather a business problem.

This webinar, lead by Imperva CTO Amichai Shulman, will explore:
  • The history, growth, and economics behind botnets
  • The rapid evolution of botnet architectures and the diversity of malware techniques
  • The increase in application-based attacks and the danger associated with advanced application DDoS attacks
  • The processes, technologies, and services that can be deployed to help combat attacks

Cyber-Crime and the State: Defining Advanced Persistent Threats (APT)
February 2, 2011

Cyber-Crime and the State: Defining Advanced Persistent Threats (APT)


In July 2010, Stuxnet introduced a new form of global warfare and exposed vulnerabilities in our current cyber defense. While unconfirmed, this politically motivated, cyber-smart bomb had a clearly defined target: Iran.

In recent years, hacking has evolved into two varieties: industrialized attacks and advanced persistent threats (APT). While the industrialized hacker is motivated by money, advanced persistent threats are driven by government agencies, or their terrorist counterparts, intent on gaining control of crucial data.

This informative webinar, lead by Imperva CTO Amichai Shulman, will explore:
  • Key differences between industrialized attacks and advanced persistent threats
  • Reasons why traditional security controls do not deter advanced persistent threats
  • Common attack vectors used in APT attacks
  • Strategies CISOs can deploy to build cyber defenses against APT
