In my earlier blogs on Transforming Security Analytics and Transforming Trust, I wrote about the strong focus we have on cybersecurity at this year’s EMCworld, previewing several of the sessions that will highlight security topics. In addition to those presentations, we’ll also once again have a Birds-of-a-Feather session, focused on Building your Trusted Cloud. It’ll [...]
by Patrick Potter, RSA Archer GRC Solutions Business Continuity Management (BCM) programs typically do a good job of evaluating business criticality through performing Business Impact Analyses (BIAs) to determine recovery priorities. However, how many BCM and IT Disaster Recovery (DR) programs adequately assess risks starting at the overall program level down to the process or [...]
A few months ago, I wrote a short blog using the “space between the 1s and 0s” as a metaphor to discuss dimensions of data that are beyond just the digits sitting on the disk drive. These dimensions included how the data was created, who created it and why it was created along with the security implications of those dimensions. Data created by a business process that includes personal information is much different than the invitation to the company monthly birthday party. Yet those 1s and 0s, many times, sit side by side on our laptops, servers and storage area networks. Recently, EMC announced the 2012 findings from IDC’s 6th EMC-sponsored Digital Universe Study. This study has some amazing and interesting results – some directly related to this “space between the 1s and 0s”.
One of the great things about traveling is the interesting folks you meet. That’s true not only in meetings and conferences and such, but also on the plane. I’ve had fascinating conversations many times with the people sitting next to me — sometimes about computer security, as when the director of consulting at Verisign and I spent hours talking during a long transatlantic flight. But often the conversations are on wide-ranging topics far removed from security.
I was at a customer event recently and was party to a discussion on the ‘disappointment’ or disillusionment in deploying Data Loss Prevention and comments like ‘well, it just doesn’t do what it’s supposed to do’ or ‘it’s too tricky to deploy’. Well, the truth is DLP technology is not something that comes off the shelf in a one size fits all package. Here are the things DLP is not going to do for you:
Intel recently announced the Intel Xeon Processor Series that helps enable comprehensive and verifiable security and compliance in cloud environments. With these technologies Intel is providing a foundation to make cloud deployments suitable for increasingly sensitive workloads.
We are a funny lot in Europe, guarding our privacy and more importantly the privacy of our data is of paramount importance. The protection and privacy of personal data is a fundamental right within the EU. According to the Digital Agenda for Europe, concerns about privacy are among the most frequent reasons for people not [...]
Last week, Atos, VMWare and EMC announced the creation of a new company, Canopy, dedicated to providing cloud services. One of the best things about this announcement, from my point of view, is knowing that for Canopy, security is no afterthought. This time, it’s part of the DNA. You may have heard of Atos as [...]
With great pleasure (and a lot of pride) we want to announce that Forrester Research Inc., an independent research firm, has ranked RSA Archer as a leader in both the IT-GRC and eGRC platforms! Not only is RSA Archer a platform leader in both categories but RSA Archer is the ONLY vendor ever to be named a leader in both IT and eGRC categories.
In Dr. Larry Ponemon’s recent eGRC and Data Privacy study, the Ponemon Institute, LLC independently surveyed 190 Archer eGRC Community members to examine the challenges they face in meeting eGRC and data protection objectives. One of the challenges that Dr. Ponemon notes is the need for collaboration between the Legal and IT teams to handle incidents as well as validate compliance to ever-changing regulations.
