WHY CYBER SENTINELS?

SANJAY MOHAPATRA sanjay@smechannels.com

INDIA IS THE LARGEST DEMOCRATIC COUNTRY from population point of view. It is also the largest country from market potential point of view. There are excess of 1.3 billion population living in more than 600,000 villages and there are more than 5000 cities in India. It is also the third largests martphone market in the world which is expected to reach 314 million mobile internet users by 2017.

Within this backdrop lot of things happening. The entire country is becoming digitized. Soon there 500 railway stations will be wireless enabled. Similarly, there will be 100 smart cities. Villages will be connected with broadband, and there will be health card for the soil, and bank accounts for each citizen.

This gives a lot of opportunity to the global and local IT companies in terms of projects. This also opens a sluice gate to the cyber criminals to inflict threats to the networks. This is very critical to the entire infrastructure. Another point is, the more you safe guard the gate the better it is for the infrastructure which should be continuously monitored. So there is huge opportunity in the market.

In a way the growth of security market is quite proportionate with the growth of the projects or the implementation of the projects planned for the next 4-5 months. And there is no escape from this.

This is about the growth of security landscape in the government sector and somehow the private organizations are serving the government and its citizens directly and indirectly. Therefore, the understanding of CISOs about the right security solutions should be paramount.

By bringing this supplement - Cyber Sentinels - we are of strong conviction that this will grow (although it is the beginning) and bring in clarity about the entire landscape.

Looking forward to supporting the community in bringing out valuable information about existing and new players in the cyber security and leaving up to your evaluation and judgment.

COVER STORY

SE.CUR.ITY Consumerisation of IT, BYOD, mobility has led to an information explosion and also blurred the line between work and play which is turn is creating challenges for the IT department.

From the mobile revolution to the pervasiveness of BYOD solutions, social media, Government initiatives like Digital India, Smart cities, digitization of banking and financial services, emphasis on e-Governance, and enterprises undergoing large scale digitization are creating new avenues of opportunities and giving a push to the Indian economy. This is giving rise to demand for comprehensive security products that protect network perimeters and safeguard an organization’s most sensitive data.

An IDC report issued in March 2015 on digitization initiatives and IT spend forecasts across industry segments and enterprise applications indicates that security will see the maximum growth of 15% due to the vulnerabilities thrown open in today’s emerging technology landscape.

The cost of losing data far outweighs the cost of securing it. And with the growing sophistication of the threats the market has evolved from point solutions to more comprehensive protection suites which encompass cross device security.

In coming times the need for security will only increase and to cater to this there is no dearth of security vendors proving everything from DLP, IPS, antivirus, encryption. Apart from some big names like Intel Security (McAfee), Symantec, Websense, Kaspersky, Sophos and the likes; new start-ups are also setting up their shop in this market like Panzer IT which provides E1ndpoint security, Backup Solutions, DRM, DLP, Encryption with best ROI & TCO for Endpoints, Mobile Devices, Servers, Gateways & Complete Network.

nels (India & SAARC), Intel Security, says, “The level of cyber-attacks in the country has increased tremendously with more aimed at lucrative targets like financial services and IT organizations. A PwC report for 2015 suggests that the Indian market for security will jump to around $10 billion in 2015.”

According to its Digital Asset Survey, 2014, almost half of the surveyed Indian respondents said they personally own three-to four devices in their homes.

All these have collectively opened up new gateways of opportunities for the Indian IT security market answers Amit Nath, Country Manager, India SAARC, F-Secure. “Furthering the opportunities, the Indian Governments’ ‘Digital India’ initiative will further boost the security market.

In view of this security is no longer a matter of choice but an absolute need. Vendors who provide comprehensive security, which is easy to use and yet affordable will win.”

“The adoption is very high and the awareness is also increasing day by day. Earlier IT companies used to have limited budgets for security but now the budget have also increased exponentially,” informs Ajay Dubey, National Manager - Partners & Alliances, Raytheon I Websense.

Future Perfect With security playing a key role in every organisations strategy it is heartening to see the purse strings loosening. According to KPMG, India’s IT security market will grow by 50% in the next three years. Spending in IT security has already increased and will continue to increase.

“India security market is at an interesting stage, and among all the sub markets within IT there is a lot of interest across the board. This market is growing and probably has the fastest growth rate amongst its contemporary markets. But the problem is the base is very small,” says Dubey.

And the way the country is slated for a massive digital transformation security becomes the most imperative part of any organisations strategy be it government, private or an individual.

“There has been an increase in adoption of Big Data security analytics by enterprises, a renewed focus by the government on revamping security, privacy and regulations, and enterprises realizing the importance of digitisation to grow their business; all this will contribute to the growth of IT security sector in India,” informs Sunil Sharma, VP Sales & Operations, India & SAARC, Cyberoam.

The enterprise IT security market in India has seen a considerable and consistent growth over the last few years. While the rise in use of technology enabled services/ solutions, increased internet penetration and evolution in digital consumption by enterprises, are some of the key trends redefining the Indian IT security market, this has also created a massive playground for cybercriminals who are streamlining and upgrading their techniques.

According to Symantec’s Internet Security Threat Report (ISTR), cybercriminals prefer automated tools and the help of unwitting consumers to do their dirty work.

“Till now even the basic cyber security policy is not in place ... However it can’t be denied that the level of awareness in India is slowing increas-

“The level of cyberattacks in the country has increased tremendously with more aimed at lucrative targets like financial services and IT organizations.”

ing in the country because of the evident threats; the Digital India campaign by the government has also managed to raise awareness amongst the masses. The India security market is growing in tandem with global growth,” announces Nath.

India market vs. global

In the global cyber security scenario India is the third most vulnerable country and is the easiest target for the cyber criminals. Nevertheless the security challenges that every individual or organisation faces whether in India or globally remain mostly the same though the scale may vary. In recent times CIOs and CISOs have started invest-

ing heavily, deploying the latest technology, and are continually upgrading to keep up with newer threat vectors; much the same as their global counter parts.

“Specifically in the Indian context, we’re dealing with a lot of new economy enterprises such as e-commerce, rapid growth of mobility and mobile

based transactions etc. which pose new challenges,” informs Gargeshwari.

Sharma feels that compared to other advanced markets there is still tremendous room for growth in India. “In fact, the Asia-Pacific, which includes India, is emerging as the key growth driver of the global IT security market.”

The reason why India is on the hit list of cyber criminals and often named amongst the nations least able to defend themselves against cyberattacks F-Secure cites to the much delayed cyber security policies. “Consequently the legal and law enforcement agencies of the country have not been able to keep up with the rapidly growing internet usage in India,” replies Nath.

Though he agrees the level of awareness is slowly rising because of the highly visible security incidences, increasing financially and politically motivated advanced targeted attacks and renewed regulatory focus on security and privacy.

On the other hand Sharma retorts that India does have a cyber-security policy in place but there is reluctance amongst certain stakeholders to implement it with a degree of seriousness. He

further points to the concern that more than a third of Indian organizations lack the knowledge to prevent cyber-attacks.

“Recently, the government has allocated a budget of Rs. 100 crore for banning email services like Yahoo and Gmail in official government communications to protect leakage of grave and insightful government data. This budget will include the expenses on ramping up security of servers and expanding infrastructure,” says Ashish Thapar, Managing Principal - Investigative Response at Verizon Enterprise Solutions.

Intel Security doesn’t believe that India is more vulnerable than other countries on the security front because the scope of security breaches and the methods perpetrated by cyber criminals keep evolving rapidly so depending on the location, economic and social factors, one country can seem weaker than others at a given point of time.

“However from a technology and security preparedness standpoint, I believe India is at par with the world. In fact, as a country that has pioneered the IT Services and outsourcing models that cater to global organizations, I wouldn’t hesitate to say

How well prepared are we?

Cybercriminals are always on the lookout for one loophole which is enough to get them lucky, unfortunately individuals and organisations have to be on guard 24x7. The industry says while everyone is aware of the grave consequences of data breach in terms of preparedness against it is more reactive than proactive. This is something to be concerned off.

that we are often ahead of the curve from a security standpoint,” adds Gargeshwari.

In conjunction with the ‘Digital India’ initiative, the National Cyber Security Policy hasn’t matched the expectations in terms of its structure and its implementation, especially on the lines of creating skilled manpower to ensure cyber security opines Thapar. “Absence of robust data privacy legislation and mandatory data-breach disclosure laws definitely leaves security experts high and dry,” he adds.

protect information assets especially the most crucial one – database. Most companies invest in perimeter and network defense because they believe database and application data are inherently safe as they lie deep within the firewall of the company. “This is a dangerous assumption,” he warns, “Enterprises in India have to re-engineer their thoughts to understand what is the right approach to secure information assets? In the new world, sensitive corporate data is stored and accessed from beyond the company’s direct control.”

Sharma adds, “The use of advanced security solutions can help mitigate these threats, but there is a need to be on high alert all the time. While the level of preparedness against the onslaught of cyber-attacks is improving, it’s essential to keep evolving the levels of vigilance all the time.”

Study shows that the majority of the data breaches occur using insider credentials with access to systems and its data. Oracle says examination of numerous security incidents has shown that timely examination of audit data could have

helped detect unauthorized activity early and reduced the resulting financial impact. “Hence we recommend deployment of solutions that ensure effective auditing inside the database,” says Ram. As there is no size fits all security solutions organisations need to opt for a solution that fits their operational processes and security posture.

Sharma opines that with cyber-attacks becoming increasingly advanced, the security solutions we need to adopt must have future ready capabilities that are able to handle every threat, thrown at them.

Nath informs study shows about 85% of cyberattacks could be avoided simply by patching vulnerabilities. However, even if a company or an individual has been hit, there is still a way to minimize the clean-up costs. “One should look for solutions which provide comprehensive security from gateway to endpoint and is easy to use and manage,” he adds.

complex, the need for security too is becoming a critical factor for organizations. Here channel partners can play an important role in becoming trusted advisors for customers in their security purchase decision.

Intel Security wants to solve the problems of security with best-of-breed products and solutions to strengthen the security posture of India Inc. “This approach will also bring new opportunities for channel partners as both look forward to address the rapidly increasing market for security solutions and technologies,” answers Gargeshwari.

“As a trusted advisor and knowledge partner, the reseller community is leading the way in assisting Indian organizations – both large enterprises and SMBs in managing their evolving technology requirements in the best possible and cost effective manner,” says Shrikant Shitole, Managing Director, India, Symantec. He feels the time is right for the partners to play a crucial role in providing the right guidance for business-owners in protecting their information from physical and digital disasters in the right manner. “Particularly in non-

THE VERIZON 2015 DATA BREACH INVESTIGATIONS REPORT OUTLINES THE FOLLOWING RECOMMENDATIONS TO ORGANIZATIONS ON PREPARING AGAINST THE ONSLAUGHT OF CYBER-ATTACKS: Know your data:

Before you can protect your data, you need to understand exactly what data you have, where and how it’s stored, and who has access to it.

Review user behavior: Implement processes to monitor use of systems and data so that you can identify any suspicious behavior. Establish a process for reviewing or revoking access when employees change role or leave.

Secure the Data at Rest: Design the data processing framework in a way that data is rendered unusable for unauthorized access using technologies such as encryption or tokenization. Patch promptly: Attackers often seek to exploit software vulnerabilities — timely patching limits their opportunity. Monitor email links and attachments: Email scanning can identify any suspicious links or attachments.

Use anti-virus and modern malware detection and remediation tools: Anti-virus won’t protect you from polymorphic or zero-day attacks and hence organizations need to implement advanced detection/prevention mechanisms to identify and stop attacks in time. Enable two-factor authentication: Both phishing and malware lead to lost credentials. Using twofactor authentication can break the chain of attack. Watch data transfers: Set up controls to watch for data transfers out of the organization — in our experience these controls have caught many incidents of insider data theft that would otherwise have been missed. Implement configuration change monitoring: Many of the methods used to breach your data can be detected easily by watching key indicators. Store IP securely and not on user devices: Laptops and desktops used to surf the internet often get infected with malware. Only store Intellectual Property on user devices if there is a strong business need.

metro locations, the role of the channel partners bridges the customer’s need with the relevant solution.”

The recent amendments in the cyber security law make it mandatory of enterprises to put up with certain security standards set by the government. This paves a way for the vendors and partners to offers their services to the growing number of enterprises replies Nath.

It is beyond doubt that the demand for security products will only increase; partners and vendors can become close allies of organisations by ensuring these deploy the right security solutions and are able to leverage their potential to achieve critical business transformation.

Finally…

With the recent data breaches still fresh in the mind Indian enterprises are becoming more serious about information security. While laws of the land surely need to be given more teeth and compliance made more robust and implemented strictly.

VENDOR WATCH

D-LINK ENHANCES ENTERPRISE SECURITY CAPABILITY The company has entered into various alliances including with Gajshield and Moxa, in order to bring in complete solution for addressing the business needs.

D-Link always had a firewall in its offering but what it lacked was UTM which demands continuous updated versions.

Currently, Firewall’s position has been taken over by UTMs and when a project comes-up, there is a demand for them, hence this is where the alliance with Gajshield becomes relevant.

D-Link’s alliance is not restricted to UTMs only but has also tied-up for enterprise class solution too with Moxa, which offers industrial grade switching. There is another alliance with Ruijie, which is known for its high-end switching, routing and surveillance capabilities.

This partnership with Gajshield gives D-Link the ability to fulfil enterprise requirements from the UTM perspective. Sumith Satheesan, AVP (Security & Storage Business), D-Link (India) Ltd., said, “D-Link did not have the capability to bring in continuous updates to the products and Gajshield does not only has a development centre in India but is also an Indian company; hence the collaboration can be stronger, and product requirement and time to market will be shorter.”

“As the support team is based out of India the service escalation will be faster and customisation quicker. Along with that Gajshield has a certain USP which puts it ahead of the rest of the product.

One of the key things is network DLP and Gajshield has a patent pending Context Sensitive Network based Date Leakage Prevention with cloud security, which is built in Gajshield UTM,” he added.

Sumith further added that the SMB customers who cannot afford end-point level DLP can now access to DLP through the UTM. The only disadvantage of Gajshield is that it is not well known in the market

SUMITH SATHEESAN, AVP – Security & Storage Business, D-Link (India) Ltd. “The SMB customers who cannot afford end point level DLP can now access to DLP through the UTM. The only disadvantage of Gajshield is that it is not well known in the market which D-Link will fulfil soon and the market communication will be made stronger.”

which D-Link will fulfil soon and the market communication will be made stronger.

As D-Link is positioning to bring in the enterprise capabilities, the alliance companies will also leverage its pan India and SAARC strength to revive their brand names. Gajshield will be available from D-Link only in India.

With presence in Delhi and Mumbai a team has been created for Gajshield within D-Link and gelled with the former’s team as a single security team headed by Sumeet. Therefore, there is no overlapping and Gajshield will take care of RMA and support. He informs that the partners are happy as they get access to the security products to sell.

As of now Gajshield is available in SAARC countries but soon the products will be available in MEA as well from OND quarter.

Sumith maintains that there is a huge opportunity in India. He gives example of how after the

acquisition by Dell, SonicWall is not seen in the SME market and now the Supermassive series of SonicWall is being sold to the enterprise market and data centre. The company has moved out of the SME market which it used to sell its TZ series aggressively. Here the biggest gainer was Cyberoam but after being taken over by Sophos, and with October as the deadline of closer of the deal, the name might be changed, which might create a problem in the market.

Another SME player - Watch Guard - moved out of India in terms of their direct presence and is relying on the distributors. The only vendor which focuses only on the SME market is Fortinet, therefore is a natural vacuum in the market and it offers a huge opportunity for D-Link for taking Gajshield to the SME market. The company needs to do a regular business and strengthening customer care, support and do developments.

The objective of the company is to traverse the

journey of Cyberoam and Fortinet by first focussing on the SME market and then look at the larger enterprise market.

In future also D-Link might bring in Gajshield engine to D-Link routers to offer security inbuilt routing platform as well. The company is already working with a Hyderabad based company TeamF1, which is doing customization and localization for D-Link and they might be given the task of doing future developments as far as bringing in secure access capability.

Finally…

Enhancing the relationship and engagement with Gajshield, D-Link also had rolled out a multicity channel engagement program known as ‘SecureEdge 2015’. This roadshow provided a platform to showcase next generation security solution and engage with partners/ system integrators present PAN India.

“BFSI SECTOR IS ONE OF THE KEY GROWTH ENGINES” Today, most of the banks are overhauling their IT infrastructure and legacy applications to create more advanced systems, thereby opening new opportunities for security providers like Array Networks says Shibu Paul, Regional Sales Director – India, ME and SEA

BFSI India Market

Security solutions

The BFSI sector has always been at the forefront of technology deployment and information security forms a critical element of their IT infrastructure. With rapid growth and expansion, the vulnerabilities and cyber threats are only going to increase. As a result, banking organizations will need to enhance their existing IT systems to provide for secure banking and fast delivery of data. Today, most of the banks are overhauling their IT infrastructure and legacy applications to create more advanced systems, thereby opening new opportunities for security providers like Array Networks. We provide solutions like application acceleration, security and performance optimization to all large public sector units. The BFSI sector has been one of the key growth engines for us and we will continue to focus on it.

l

Secure remote access – This solution provides greater levels of security, greater range of access methods, a broader range of device support and the ability to provide differentiated, identity-based access tailored to the needs of multiple communities of interest. l Application security and load balancing – Improves availability, scalability, performance and security for Web, cloud and mobile applications. l WAN optimization – This accelerates enterprise applications, improves backup and recovery times and reduces bandwidth and infrastructure costs by prioritizing business-critical functions, applying intelligent compression algorithms to site-to-site and mobile traffic and eliminating the transmission of redundant data across wide area networks. l Web application security Application delivery controllers can serve as a first line of defence against common web & application security exploits such as DoS and malformed URL attacks, as well as unauthorized access.

Main Drivers The major factors that have led to an increased adoption of BFSI security solutions are – increase in digital and online frauds, rising vulnerabilities at the application layer, need to upgrade legacy systems to keep up with changing market demands, and addressing the emerging risks due to lack of adequate network security, particularly at the application level.

Business Array Networks currently derives 45% of its revenues from the BFSI sector and we are making continuous efforts to strengthen our expertise in this domain.

To meet the increasing demands of the banking sector, we are also working with other application providers to make core banking applications more secure, reliable

SHIBU PAUL, REGIONAL SALES DIRECTOR – INDIA, ME AND SEA, ARRAY NETWORKS and faster. Our focus on the BFSI sector helped us add 25 new banking customers in the last one year. Array Networks has a dedicated team which largely concentrates on offering core banking solutions to all large PSUs. We recently added two large nationalized banks to our portfolio.

BFSI Projects Among the largest deals we bagged recently was from a leading cooperative bank. As banks expand their branch networks to rural areas to meet the needs of the customers, network availability and security are going to become even more important. Array is working with other solution providers, partners and OEMs to enhance the security and reliability of their banking applications. We have also created a comprehensive solution suite to help banks firm up the quality of their banking services.

“FOR BFSI WE SEE VERY HIGH TIME FOR DLP PROJECTS IN 2015-2016” In the Financial industry stakeholders know that data is money and that corporate internal information should be effectively protected says Olga Gorshkova

product. Fortunately, InfoWatch has huge experience in providing high-end data security products and services to BFSI industry. Satisfaction of our long-term customers speaks for itself.

According to InfoWatch Global Data Leakage report 2014, BFSI sector is one of the most affected by personal data leaks.

Industries leading in the number and volume of data leaks (BFSI and healthcare) possess big volumes of personal and highly confidential data (payment and account data, medical secrecy, etc). That is why they are most attractive for internal breachers and need advanced information security solutions in place. International analysts forecast the BFSI IT Market in India to grow at a CAGR of 14.15 percent over the period 2014-2019.

Solutions for BFSI: InfoWatch Traffic Monitor - A software solution (DLP system) monitoring information flows and protecting confidential information from leaks and unauthorized distribution.

InfoWatch EndPoint Security information security for workstations, removable media and mobile devices, designed for quick deployment and ease of management.

InfoWatch Appercut - automated audit of source code in customized business applications to detect vulnerabilities and bugs.

Main drivers As India is the country where many sectors in the economy are in active transition from paperwork to digital documents workflow – potential for internal information security is very notable. In BFSI segment all public banks are obliged to implement in 2014-2015 Core Banking systems, which obviously raise quite a bit a demand for full-fledged internal information security solution to protect information assets. Thus for BFSI we see very high time for DLP projects in 2015-2016.

Business Financial industry is the vertical where stakeholders know that data is money and that corporate internal information should be effectively protected. InfoWatch is addressing potential customers in this industry in order to provide them longterm support in keeping their data safe with the help of wide range of products and services. Level of awareness in this industry is very high so detailed explanation of InfoWatch advantages in technologies

is a must here. InfoWatch is participating in conferences and is engaged in active online and offline campaign to target BFSI segment.

Challenges and benefits As mentioned before, customers in the BFSI segment are having very high requirements in choosing a data security

Apart from existing customers, InfoWatch is engaged in several PoC projects and tenders in BFSI segment. Companies in the financial sphere are very sensitive to the subject of corporate privacy and confidentiality so we are not disclosing particular names without customer consent. Implementing a new Data Loss Prevention tool is news that many companies are reluctant to make public. Among customers in BFSI who agreed to share their positive reference about the long-term successful projects with InfoWatch are First Energy Bank in Bahrain, Central Bank of Bahrain, Kuwait Finance House, Raiffeisen Bank, etc. As soon as new InfoWatch customers in this sphere make a decision to share their feedback we will be able to mention their respected names.

“ATTACKS AIMED AT FINANCIAL INSTITUTES HAVE INCREASED” Cybercriminals who are motivated by financial reward are using these advanced Trojans to commit large scale financial fraud, targeting institutions across the globe says Tarun Kaura, Director, Technology Sales, India, Symantec

Cyber attacks against the financial sector are becoming increasingly sophisticated and highly targeted. With today’s emerging channels, such as mobile and online banking, we are witnessing newer attacks vectors open for cybercriminals. This is triggering the need for a stringent information security strategy. While, financial institutions are held to a higher standard than most businesses, protecting privacy and meeting regulatory requirements is simply not enough.

To decrease the effectiveness of new -age attacks and to gain the customers confidence, banks have improved awareness programs, communications systems and also the response time taken to address issues in case of an attack. However, what we are seeing is that cybercriminals are relentlessly finding newer ways to attack these institutions.

Despite higher security awareness in the BFSI sector owing to the recent breaches along with the regulatory and compliance requirements of this industry, the Internet Security Threat Report Vol. 20 highlighted that there was an increase in targeted attacks aimed at financial institutes that went up to 17.1 percent in 2014, from 11.1 percent in 2013. In line with this, another research from Symantec on The State of Financial Trojans highlighted that India ranks 5th among countries with most financial Trojan Infections, moving up from rank 7 in 2013.

Cybercriminals who are motivated by financial reward are using these advanced Trojans to commit large scale financial fraud, targeting institutions across the globe. Financial institutions are continuously striving to keep their customer data safe and secure in the face of data explo-

sion, proliferation of endpoints and branddamaging data breaches. Forward-looking security companies, such as Symantec are joining financial institutions in this battle to resolve their biggest security challenge across the entire spectrum of defend, protect, detect and respond.

Symantec is moving beyond traditional software to help customers protect against a wider range of threats. The recently launched Cyber Security Services are made up of Incident Response, DeepSight, Managed Security Services, Advanced Threat Protection and a Security Simulation Platform that is operated by the world’s sharpest minds in cybersecurity.

Our security business sees more, analyzes more, and knows more about security threats than any other company in the world and hence are better positioned to arm financial institutes in their battle against the cyber attacks.

Symantec suggests financial institutions to be proactive and follow several recommendations that are listed below to secure their online game: l Protect your customer’s entire website visit by deploying SSL on all your web pages. Implement security precautions on all mobile devices including strong authentication. l Use encryption for data in transit and at rest (SSL does not encrypt stored data). l Protect physical and virtual data centers with host-based intrusion detection and prevention solutions. l Be sure to get your digital certificates from an established, trustworthy Certification Authority who demonstrates excellent security practices. l Deploy endpoint protection software and gateway antivirus and regularly scan for vulnerabilities. l Monitor the threat landscape and your infrastructure for network intrusions, propagation attempts and other suspicious traffic patterns. l Educate users about security policies and information use.

North America and Europe are the leading cybersecurity revenue contributors, according to a report from TechSci Research. Asia-Pacific is rapidly emerging as a potential market for cyber security solution providers, driven by emerging economies such as China, India and South-East Asian countries, wherein, rising cyber espionage by foreign countries is inducing the need for safeguarding cyber space.

$1 billion USD in 2015

The “PwC Global State of Information Security Survey 2015” found that U.S. information security budgets have grown at almost double the rate of IT budgets over the last two years.

India has the world’s second largest population, and a very small cybersecurity economy. But they are a nation to watch for cybersecurity market growth. According to a PwC report cited in The Economic Times, India’s cyber security market size will jump to $1 billion USD in 2015 (from an estimated $500 million USD last year). That is a whopping 100 percent year-over-year growth.

GOVERNMENT

“WE ARE AT THE PHASE OF PRODUCT EVALUATION” InfoWatch has started its development of the Indian market with the private sector.

As far as government is concerned, it says it’s at the phase of product evaluation.

The latest governments’ initiatives like smart cities have opened up opportunities for security vendors. How big is this market?

We are now entering a period when IT and data security solutions have become a compliance and a must-have for any agency and organization, therefore, the market is expanding rapidly. It opens new horizons for various vendors that are developing sophisticated high-end security solutions.

How proactive or serious, you think, the government is in dealing with cyber security issues?

Governmental agencies are seriously analyzing solutions available at the market and OLGA GORSHKOVA, paying very high attention to detailed PR DIRECTOR, INFOWATCH evaluation. Another aspect important for governmental agencies is compliance to regulations and norms.

How aggressively are you targeting this vertical?

Government agencies and banks are the key industries of our interest in India, but we are not limited to those two only. Governmental structures and authorities operate highly sensitive data, for example, big volume of citizen personal data and therefor are an often source of data leaks.

That is why InfoWatch sees this vertical among the key clients for its DLP solutions and closely works with governmental structure in pilot and commercial implementations.

What are the challenges that come from working in this vertical, and what are the benefits?

The highest challenge is to compete with vendors with long history of business at the local market. Though govern-

20

OCTOBER 2015

mental agencies find it very important to thoroughly assess the functionality and usability of a solution, they are more reluctant to take a product from the vendor who is entering the market as compared to well-established players. But here at the same time we have a benefit. As soon as the governmental agency admits the effectiveness of the new solution, it leads to a significant breakthrough at the market.

What kind of security solutions you offer to government sector?

They are: 1) our flagship InfoWatch Traffic Monitor Enterprise solution for protection against data leaks and internal information security threats; 2) InfoWatch EndPoint Security software providing information security for workstations, removable media and mobile devices, designed for quick deployment and ease of management; 3) InfoWatch Kribrum, social media monitoring and analysis system for online reputation management.

What all government projects are you working on?

InfoWatch has started its development of the Indian market from the private sector. This is where we have all current projects in logistics, manufacturing, media and other segments. As far as government is concerned, we are at the phase of product evaluation and this is why we cannot disclose the exact names of organizations. After we prove effectiveness and quality of our products and services to first governmental customers this information may become public upon customer’s approval.

“Internet penetration in India has shown rapid progress. As per our research, we estimate that there will be 400 million internet users in India by 2018. While escalating internet growth has opened up multiple opportunities for India’s cyber citizens, it has simultaneously given opportunity to real threat of cyber-crime. In India, investment rate of IT security systems is quite low comparing to other developing countries. It has been seen that most organizations lack even basic cyber security systems in India. Almost 80% of Indian business enterprises have reported data theft through online hacking. The cost of such cyber-crimes has risen sky-high with $ 10 billion; India is ranked 5th in e-commerce security breaches.

On the other hand, global cyber-attacks are also rising, with 50% of all attacks aimed at businesses with employee strength of less than 2,500. Reports from New York, London, Shanghai and other places around the world insist that organizations are focused on cyber security in a major way. As a result, the IT security market is definitely going to boom in the coming days.” Sunil Kripalani, Senior VP, Global Sales & Marketing

“FOUNDED IN KOREA IN 1941,HANKOOK TIRE’S PRODUCTS ARE NOW AVAILABLE IN MORE THAN 180 COUNTRIES AROUND THE WORLD.” SECURE

Kaspersky’s security solution protects Hankook Tire employees throughout Korea, whether they are working in offices, production and R&D centers or are on the move

CONTROL Centralised management and control of the solution is a central element of the solution and a key priority for Hankook Tire

The large number of tires produced by Hankook Tire makes it one of the Top 5 companies in the mass production of tyres.

With R&D centres in Korea, China, Japan, Germany and the United States, a total of seven large-scale production facilities in Korea, China, Indonesia and Hungary as well as offices in 31 different countries, Hankook Tire is a global power player in the tyre industry.

Hankook Tire produces superior quality, high performance radial tyres for passenger cars, 4x4s, SUVs, light trucks, campers, trucks, buses and motorsport vehicles with approximately 21,000 employees around the world.

Hankook Tire is famous for its extensive involvement in motorsports, sponsoring and supplying tires for numerous touring car, rally, endurance and single seater championships and events. Hankook Tire also has various records of developing and testing innovative highconcept technology and products that ultimately find their way into the mass market.

Challenge Hankook Tire’s global headquarters and

main research and development centre are located in South Korea, along with a substantial operational network to meet the needs of its fast-paced domestic marketplace. IT security is vital for Hankook Tire in its home territory.

Korean businesses face significant malware and virus attacks, with 2014 figures showing that almost 13% of all global spam originated in South Korea.

To combat this threat, the South Korean government has been investing heavily in cyber security resources to protect national infrastructure, utilities, power plants and the military.

Hankook Tire’s employees work from both offices and remote locations, with employees accessing data 24/7, on PCs, laptops and multiple devices (both corporate and private) in the office, at home and on the move. Hankook Tire is heavily reliant on IT to stay connected and productive in a fast-moving and highly competitive sector, with confidential, business-critical communications and data constantly flowing between employees, offices and third parties.

Its electronic activities are all vulnerable to viruses, spam, hackers, and

other attacks, bringing significant risk of interruptions to business continuity and potential damage to the performance, income and reputation of the company.

Soon it became clear that the existing anti-virus software was no longer adequate, and that a much more comprehensive, robust, and flexible IT security solution was required. So Hankook Tire began looking for a partner capable of providing the products, services and infrastructure necessary to meet its increasingly complex business requirements.

The Kaspersky Solution That partner was Kaspersky Lab, and five years later, Hankook Tire is proud to renew its successful and productive long-term relationship, describing Kaspersky’s anti-virus software as “the global standard”.

Hankook Tire selected Kaspersky’s multi-layered, fully integrated IT security solution, citing its ability to provide robust protection both within and outside the company’s corporate boundaries.

The solution combines powerful endpoint controls with security for worksta-

HANKOOK TIRE GETS A GRIP ON IT SECURITY tions, along with file servers and provisions for rigorous mobile security. At its heart is Kaspersky’s market-leading, advanced anti-malware software, which constantly assesses threats and delivers automatic updates for a rapid response to new threats.

There are separate web, device and applications controls and a centralised management platform which makes it easy to administer security tools across desktop, portable, mobile and virtual endpoints, providing advanced visibility and IT security control for managers.

IT security platform in Korea delivers benefits for global operations “A major attack could have severe consequences for Hankook Tire, with our entire

network potentially being infected, so it is vital that we have robust protection for our network, files, mail and devices,” explains Kim Hui Jeong of Hankook Tire’s emFrontier Technology team.

“We selected Kaspersky both for the quality of its products and for their excellent service record.

There’s no doubt that Kaspersky’s anti-virus software is the global standard, and the company’s central platform management console is very easy to use.

“In addition we receive in-depth quarterly inspections by Kaspersky technical engineers who check the status of entire network, review policies, and investigate error logs to see if there are any underlying problems.

“Hankook Tire also benefits globally from these

maintenance inspections carried out in Korea, as they often result in recommendations for actions in other countries too. For example, identifying and dealing with malware that originates in South East Asia can also prevent those programs from having a negative effect on our company’s activities elsewhere in the world.”

“We particularly appreciate Kaspersky’s hacking sensing and deletion as well as its worm-blocking capabilities. We always have ready access to help and advice from Kaspersky’s experts, and that makes our job much easier.

“We’ve been working with Kaspersky for a long time now. We see them as our partners, so communication between our two organizations is open and supportive. We fully trust them to protect us and our interests.”

“F-SECURE INCREASES EMPLOYEE PRODUCTIVITY AT INDIA GLYCOLS BY MORE THAN 20%”

OVERVIEW Company: India Glycols Limited Industry: Manufacturing Country / Region: Noida, India Branch Offices: Multiple locations across country Employees using IT (across different operating systems): 650+

Headquartered in the Indian city of Noida, India Glycols (IGL) manufactures green technology based bulk specialty and performance chemicals, as well as natural gums, spirits, industrial gases, sugars, and nutraceuticals. These products are manufactured in compliance with stringent global standards that govern plant operations – including product quality and employee safety, and all facilities have been certified by international agencies (such as Det Norske Veritas). The operations at all plants are closely monitored through distributed control systems (DCS), which facilitate a high degree of control over the quality of products.

Manufacturing is process-driven and employee-centric, and demands high levels of efficiency and productivity.

Keeping in sync with global standards demands that all key processes at IGL are enabled and structured through information technology (IT), and according to IGL CIO AtulGovil, comprehensive security acts as the fulcrum for a robust IT roadmap.

Background The best quality products are manufactured in accordance with compliance standards that include traceability, which require operations to run through an automated IT

infrastructure that maintains employee productivity. IGL has deployed state of the art technology to fast-track the planning, execution, and overall performance of tracking processes, as well as minimize manual efforts and eliminate overlapping workflows.

For key business transactions, IGL uses best-in-class ERP software. They also use business intelligence tools that facilitate fact-based decision-making, and a portal that allows the different business levels to communicate seamlessly with one another. And according to Govil, securing confidential data (as required by industry compliance standards and government regulations) is a

“Besides the corporate network becoming more secure, the key visible metrics were an approx. 40 % reduction in inci dents of hard disk formats, and an approx. 15 % reduction on calls landing on the IT help desk. Virus related issues were reduced by 50% after installing F-Secure’s solution.”

key IT requirement.

“Security is of paramount importance for any organization, and a good, proven security technology acts as a fundamental catalyst. To establish a business edge through competitive advantages and brand loyalty, data and related transactions have to be secure and confidential at all times.

Security cannot be compromised at any point,” said Govil.

Established as a single mono-ethylene glycol plant in 1983, IGL has brought together cuttingedge technology, innovation and an unflagging commitment to quality, to manufacture a wide range of products that have found global demand.

IGL’s state-of-the-art, integrated facilities manufacture chemicals including glycols, ethoxylates, glycol ethers and acetates, and various performance chemicals. These products are manufactured in compliance with stringent global standards of plant operations, quality and safety.

The company’s facilities have been approved and certified by international agencies including Det Norske Veritas (DNV). The operations at all plants are closely monitored through distributed control systems (DCS), which facilitate a high degree of control over the quality of products.

Overcoming Pain Points In 2014, IGL needed to upgrade security across their multi-location corporate network.

Their existing security solution was weak in several key areas, such as policy management and software updating. “There were no automatic updates. Employee productivity was a serious concern, as most of the IT team’s time was spent on patch management, formatting hard disks, and other manual activities with the existing software,” said Govil.

Their security had additional shortcomings that needed to be addressed, such as support for the latest platforms (including Windows 8 and other operating systems running the ERP package), protection against emerging threats, and browsing protection for enhanced security against malicious sites.

But according to Govil, the most important consideration was that the new security solution had to be future-proof to ensure it was able to absorb new SMAC trends.

Choosing F-Secure IGL needed a solution that provided strong

security while having a minimal impact on performance. Email and web traffic scanning, as well as centralized management, were important security requirements. It also had to be easy to set-up and maintain.

F-Secure was relatively new to the end-user business in India, so IGL studied the references of F-Secure’s global clients, and their success rate in the B2B space. “F-Secure did not have many Indian clients for references. We looked at the solution for its credibility, ruggedness and after sales support. And F-Secure truly fit the bill,” said Govil.

F-Secure was selected as IGL’s new security vendor after a detailed comparison of various products. Key differentiators included F-Secure’s ease of use and cost-effectiveness. According to Govil, these benefits are significant considerations for Indian companies. He highlighted the automatic updates as a specific clincher, as solutions need to be complete packages and account for the different aspects of patch management, software alerts, and other automated protective measures.

Implementation through a Trusted Partner Aarna Global Infotech provided implementation support, and was involved throughout the

whole project. They offered support and guidance, and Govil said they were able to provide detailed insights on F-Secure’s unique features, adding additional value to the solution.

Both F-Secure and Aarna Global Infotech were keen to be associated with a successful project in India, and took an aggressive approach toward the endeavor. Pilot testing was used to validate the solution’s features and on-site functionality, and in the second half of 2014, IGL became an F-Secure customer using F-Secure Business Suite Premium.

Multiple Benefits IGL experienced immediate benefits after implementing F-Secure (with all the components of Business Suite being used for endpoint and server security).

One key improvement was in the protection of physical servers, desktops and laptops.

According to Govil, the automatic deployment of security updates (with the possibility of exclusions and manual deployment) greatly reduced the amount of time the IT staff had to dedicate to maintaining endpoint security.

“The solution offers installation of missing updates. Patch management for both Windows

and third party products is a real advantage. The solution offers integrated management, hence there is no need for a separate infrastructure.”

There was an initial issue in pushing updates to the exchange server during deployment. But the issue was escalated, and the teams at both Aarna Global Infotech and F-Secure worked to rectify it quickly.

There is now no need for manual updates as there are proactive alerts/product updates, and the security pack software ensures timely updates for both operating systems and applications.

“This helps our IT team to dedicate their time to other projects.

This is an indirect advantage of improved employee productivity across various departments to the tune of over 10–15%,” said Govil.

Most applications in IGL are currently on-premise, and so F-Secure’s solution is now live for 650+ IGL users across multiple locations. However, Govil said the solutions have been validated

Business Situation

BUSINESS BENEFIT

India Glycols, on a rapid expansion spree, had a challenge with the existing security solution used by their multi-location users and branch offices.

The solution had limited or non-existent software update capabilities and policy management. With no automatic updates, employee productivity was a serious concern as most of their IT team’s time was spent on providing product updates, patch management, and other manual activities to maintain the existing software.

The growing number of hard disk issues and other related concerns with the security solution consumed lots of time and bandwidth at IGL. The IT team was spending too much time to keep the lights on with the earlier security solution.

IGL wanted a sturdy security product that had proactive protection capabilities against emerging threats, and improved browsing protection for augmented security against malicious sites.

Q& A

“DLP PROTECTS DATA ACROSS PRIVATE AND PUBLIC CLOUDS” As mobile is intrinsically woven into the fabric of enterprise, mobile security is less about protecting data and devices and more about protecting intellectual property, brand value, and customer trust.

What are the security trends seen in the global arena?

With the evolution toward a mobilized enterprise, CIOs and IT organizations must ensure corporate security policies can accommodate the expansive mobile ecosystem – from form factors, to capabilities, operating systems, applications and communications protocols. As mobile is intrinsically woven into the fabric of enterprise, mobile security is less about protecting data and devices and more about protecting intellectual property, brand value, and customer trust.

nization via the Internet. Endpoint security management is a policy-based approach to network security that requires endpoint devices to comply with specific criteria before they are granted access to network resources. IT teams will be looking at devices—whether they’re PCs, tablets or smartphones—for indicators of compromise, and then enabling some form of incident response process.

Businesses will deploy technologies to endpoints to prevent what they can.

With billions more computing devices coming online every year, administrators face the challenge of making each comply with the security policies of their organizations. Application con-

“The technological precautions you take are only as strong as the people using them. Ensure that all features are being used and that the solutions you have deployed are functioning properly ...”

trol is also emerging as a key focus area with an emphasis on preventing malicious activity at the endpoint. As much as you may try to build user awareness of information security best practices, at some point someone’s going to click on something they shouldn’t so you need a way to be proactive about preventing such incidents from happening, especially on mobile devices.

Today, organizations are facing a hard job of adopting secure IT infrastructure to support an increasingly mobile workforce. What is your prescription for those companies?

In addition to firewalls, data loss prevention, antivirus and other software and hardware protections, education is a crucial step. Employees need to be aware of how to protect themselves, their devices and the company’s data from common exploit tactics. Some of the largest hacks in

recent memory such as the Sony hack have been due to simple phishing techniques. The technological precautions you take are only as strong as the people using them. Ensure that all features are being used and that the solutions you have deployed are functioning properly in order to make sure your company and its data is protected.

What are the main drivers of enterprise mobility management market?

The main driver of Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) is a need to manage devices built across all mobile operating systems. As Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) deliver purpose-built devices to market, the need to integrate those systems across multiple platforms presents unique challenges. By managing devices across a single interface, businesses can deploy devices nearly instantly and ensure that the devices are operating securely.

Now that customers’ data sit not only on devices but also on public networks, how vulnerable is cloud and all steps one should look at to keep the organization immune from threats?

Data Loss Prevention is one of the key ways to protect data across private and “public” clouds as well as ensure that the data an employee creates or transfers secure. Businesses also need to proactively manage the security of the servers on which their data is stored. As companies scramble to find better ways to secure sensitive information, one of the key concepts to emerge is containerization—the separation of corporate mobile apps and data from personal files. Containerization has historically had its drawbacks, including security concerns and inefficient toggling between one’s personal and corporate accounts.

However, a new and evolving breed of containerization—enabled via Enterprise Mobility Management—promises better security and ease of use. Essentially, companies are now switching to a “Managed App” model: Instead of having business and personal apps in separate workspaces, the container is all but invisible now, relegated to the background, creating a seamless user experience.

What are the trends which according to you will have an impact on EMM market?

The continued evolution of Bring Your Own

Device (BYOD) and the implementation of purpose-built devices will be amongst the core trends we see in the coming future. Today’s workplace is evolving rapidly as employees require mobility at every touchpoint, whether it’s at corporate headquarters, out in the field or in a store, or behind the scenes in factories and warehouses. Controlling mobile capabilities is critical from the top floor to the shop floor. But this can be a daunting challenge as workers use disparate purpose-built devices, corporate-liable smartphones and tablets, and BYOD consumer devices running on various operating systems.

When it comes to bringing your products into the market how different is your approach from other competitors

ESET was ranked as 5th Largest Endpoint Security Vendor in 2013 and grew 23%, six times faster than the market average, according to IDC report titled ‘Worldwide Endpoint Security 2014-2018 Forecast and 2013 Vendor Shares’ from August 2014.

As for advantages of security products promoted by ESS Distribution, in a B2B environment, the main focus is on saving administrators time and increasing their productivity and in consumer environment the focus is on allowing customers to enjoy a digital life with minimal interference with antivirus and other security products or disruption caused by threats.

ESET products promoted by ESS Distribution offer the best balance between user experience and protection focus in the real-life usage of the products. Hence, the main four unique selling points are: l Faster and lower resource consumption (which leads to better performance). l Better detection/protection against known threats (which makes ESET products more effective than other solutions). l Better proactive detection (thanks to Advanced Heuristics, ESET LiveGrid technology) against unknown threats . l Better user experience (ESET is easy to use and has low false positives rate. It is simple and flexible solution for any user).

How do these products address various technology requirements of the market?

Users in India are most vulnerable to malware spreading through Internet and storage devices, mostly USB flash drives, very often because of vulnerability in the operating system which is not patched or is not protected with up-to-date security software. In the latest version of ESET flagship products for consumer segment we have Removable Media control tool which is very demanded by the customers, according to the feedback from the market. We also see increasing in demand for mobile security software as threats for smartphones evolve rapidly. The number of threats for smartphones and tablets is growing and not only for Android platdorm, as it is believed, but even for Windows Mobile and iOS.

Spending on IT security is increasing at a gradual pace in India, especially in enterprise and SMB segment. More organizations are realizing the importance of securing their IT infrastructure with strong and comprehensive security solutions as the cyberthreats targeting enterprise sector have become more sophisticated with time.

Our decades-long experience and industryleading expertise as well as extensive research among our current and future clients, help us deliver robust and unified business product portfolio.

As cyber threats evolve constantly, ESET keeps investing in updating its technologies. Unlike conventional antivirus solutions that rely on up-to-date virus signatures alone, ESET uses two methods of detection (comparing known virus signatures plus using heuristics to anticipate new ones) instead of one. It helps ESET products detect and destroy threats that other products miss.

Who all are your major customers in the region?

Corporate, government and educational segments account for about 60% of ESS Distribution business. In our corporate client portfolio we have has such brands as Southern Power Distribution Company of Andhra Pradesh Limited, BITS Pilani, S. A. Engineering College, Global Academy of Technology, KAL Puplications Pvt Ltd (Dinakaran), Century Communication Limited, Automotive Manufacturers Pvt Ltd, ICF (Integral Coach Factory), Kumaraguru College of Technology. Among our corporate clients are such known companies as Metro Shoes, and many others.

We are also focusing on SOHO and SMB retail segments. Small business networks face the same threats as large enterprise networks, but they have very limited budgets for IT expenditures. Small companies might not have a system administrator sometimes, so it’s becoming really difficult to provide the efficient protection of company’s data.

As for the consumer segment, our customers are regular and advanced user of PC who realize the importance of security and do not compromise on performance at the same time. While home, business and mobile users all have different needs, what they all share is a desire to live, work and play in a safer digital world, and our aim is to helpl them build an environment safe from digital threats.

Who all are your distributors and VADs? At present ESS Distribution has an established

network of over 200 direct channel partners for paper license business in SME, Enterprise, Government and Educational segments. In retail business it has six strong regional distributors each of them having vast channel network in its respective region.

The total number of channel partners associated with ESS Distribution in India has reached almost 3000 up to date.

Tell us about your partner ecosystem and GTM strategy?

ESS Distribution does 100% business through Channel Partners. The company has appointed distributors for retail offerings and system integrators and VAR’s for business and enterprise solutions. In general, the company divides India into four major regions - North, East, West & South appointing at least one major T1 partner appointment followed by multiple T2 & T3 partners. ESS Distribution has separate city and state distribution policies for region.

ESS partner network has doubled within past one year that helped us to reach out to many remote areas in North and East India where we did not have a strong presence before. ESS Distribution is now focusing on increasing its techno-commercial staff in all metro cities to be able assist its channel partners in POC, negotiations, special prices & product deployment.

We believe the channel community has to look seriously towards security segment paying attention not only to optimistic growth projections but to quality of services and the value additions required to cater this market. Channel education is a very important factor for vendors and their partner to get the maximum benefits from growing market. Understanding of this necessity is driving ESS Distribution to select performing partners and train them to work with security solutions we offer and even help building security policies for their clients.

ESS Distribution has a separate Market Development fund (MDF) that allows allocation of marketing funds to partners willing to conduct separate marketing activities, and we always encourage channel partners to do so.

Since 2012, ESS Distribution has been successfully running various channel schemes offering partners exotic international locations and totally unique experiences. This year itself ESS Distribution provided its partners a tour to Amsterdam, Netherlands.

NNR IT

BEST PRACTICES FOR CYBER SECURITY: BY NNR IT 1

Monitor Applications with Access to Data

In spite of the fact that Applications help your business to expand the efficiency they can put your touchy information at danger. Ensuring discriminating data, generally includes setting up firewalls and building your foundation around the information you need to secure. At that point you give applications access to this information. At the point when hackers hope to take your information, they won’t attempt to pound their way through your firewall, they’ll search for the minimum secure framework with access to the information they require.

2

Create Specific Access Controls

It is always great to create specific access controls for your users so that they can have the access to only the systems they need to complete their task. It will help you to limit your sensitive data’s exposure.

3

Collect Detailed Logs

Always collect detailed logs and report data to track what goes on in your system. It will help you for security & troubleshoot-

40

OCTOBER 2015

ing purposes. This is especially the case for applications that don’t have internal logging. Add tools that can log the activities of these applications so that you will be able to plug any security holes those applications may create.

4

Maintain Security Patches

Cyber – criminals are constantly updating & inventing new techniques and constantly looking for new vulnerabilities. To keep your network protected, make sure your software and hardware security is up to date with any new antimalware signatures or patches.

5

Beware of Social Engineering

All of the technical IT security you implement can’t take the place of common sense and human error. Social engineering tactics have been used successfully for decades to gain login information and access to encrypted files. Rogers Communications recently faced a major breach when a hacker called an employee pretending to be the IT department and was able to get the employee’s log-in information. Attempts like this one may come from phone, email or other communication with your users.

6

Educate and Train Your Users

No matter how gifted, your users will always be your weakest link when it comes to information security. It is always good to educate your users on cyber security best practices. This training should include how to recognize a phishing email, how to create strong passwords, avoiding dangerous applications, taking information out of the company, and any other relevant user security risks.

7

Outline Clear Use Policies for New Employees and Vendors To strengthen and clarify the education you give your users, you should clearly outline the requirements and expectations your company has in regards to IT security when you first hire them. Include Security requirements in employment contracts and SLAs sections.

8

User Activity Monitoring

Trust but verify. While well trained users can be your security front line, you still need technology as your last line of defense.

User activity monitoring allows you

to monitor users to verify that their actions meet good security practices.

If a malicious outsider gains access to their log-in information – or if an insider chooses to take advantage of their system access – you will be immediately notified of the suspicious activity.

9

Create a Data Breach Response Plan

No matter how well you follow these best practices, you might get breached. In fact, nearly half of organizations suffered a security incident in the past year. If you do, having a response plan laid out ahead of time will allow you to close any vulnerabilities and limit the damage the breach can do.

10

Maintain Compliance

Hopefully these best practices are a useful guideline for keeping your business safe, but you do have another set of guidelines available to you. Regulations like HIPAA, PCI DSS and ISO offer standards for how your business should conduct its security. More than a hassle which you need to prepare audit logs for, compliance can help guide your business.

SYMANTEC

SECURITY BEST PRACTICES: BY SYMANTEC Why best practices?

The Indian technology landscape is witnessing a dynamic shift with the influx of digitization, mobility and Internet of Things. Cyber attackers are leap-frogging defenses in ways companies lack insight to anticipate.

The corporate world is also encountering a dramatic change with most of the offices going paperless and the increasing dependence on technology. With this increasing complexity, cybercriminals are constantly discovering newer ways to gain access to rich corporate data.

Today, cybersecurity is no longer an issue that concerns only IT and security professionals, but is also an important topic for boardroom discussions. At Symantec, we believe

it’s time to go on the offensive, leveraging the next generation of both threat and information protection technologies to fight increasingly sophisticated adversaries. This aggressive and offensive posture would entail - keeping adversaries out; protecting the valuable information that’s inside; continuously gathering and applying intelligence to gain advantage; and providing comprehensive incident response and forensic support if a breach does occur. Thus, it is important for enterprises to partner with forward looking security companies who possess the proven expertise and a unified security strategy which is designed to simplify the company’s lives and increase their security

efficacy.

Caveats Today’s attackers are skilled enough and sufficiently resourced to have the persistence and patience to carry out their espionage activities over a period of months or even years.

They have only to be successful once in order to breach their targets’ defenses. Symantec has observed that advanced attackers are using stolen email accounts from one corporate victim to spear-phish their next corporate victim.

Businesses, today, are facing challenges as they lack in the desired holistic IT security practices and technologies to deal with the new set of threats. The understanding of the

CIOs and CXOs as to how security can be built into their IT practices to effectively manage the ecosystem is also limited in many cases.

Unintentional causes, such as employees losing devices or accidentally exposing critical data, are still the most common causes of security breaches.

Another challenge faced by organizations is of overworked and understaffed security teams that have so far been stitching together “good enough” security point products that were originally not designed to work together. Not only do these practices make an organization more vulnerable to breaches, but it also increases operational complexities- indicating a need to engage in unified security.

BEST PRACTICES For Businesses:

1

Don’t get caught flatfooted: Use advanced threat intelligence solutions to help you find indicators of compromise and respond faster to incidents.

2

Employ a strong security posture: Implement multi-layered endpoint security, network security, encryption, strong authentication and reputation-based technologies. Partner with a managed security service provider to extend your IT team.

3

Prepare for the worst: Incident management ensures your security framework is optimized, measureable and repeatable, and that lessons learned improve your security posture. Consider adding a retainer with a third-party expert to help manage crisis.

4

Provide ongoing education and training: Establish guidelines and company policies and procedures for protecting sensitive data on personal and corporate devices.

Regularly assess internal investiga-

tion teams—and run practice drills—to ensure you have the skills necessary to combat cyber threats.

For Consumers:

1

Use strong passwords: This cannot be emphasized enough.

Use strong and unique passwords for your accounts and devices, and update them on a regular basis— ideally every three months. Never use the same password for multiple accounts.

2

Be cautious on social media: Don’t

click links in unsolicited email or social media messages, particularly from unknown sources. Scammers know people are more likely to click on links from their friends, so they compromise accounts to send malicious links to the account owner’s contacts.

3

Know what you are sharing: When installing a networkconnected device, such as a home router or thermostat, or downloading a new app, review the permissions to see what data you’re giving up. Disable remote access when not needed
