Analyst Whitepaper Ponemon Institute - Business case for data protection: A Study of CEOs and other C-level Executives

Research reveals that C-level executives feel good data protection efforts support organizational goals such as compliance, reputation, management or customer trust, but there is a lack of confidence in the ability to safeguard sensitive information. Using research about data protection independently collected by the Ponemon Institute, sponsored by IBM, this paper reveals the value of data protection.

Webcast: Smart techniques for application security: whitebox + blackbox security testing.

Two techniques -- whitebox and blackbox application security testing -- have emerged to detect vulnerabilities. They approach the problem in different ways. One analyzes software at the source while the other scans applications for vulnerabilities in the compiled program. While both have their strengths and weaknesses, a combination of the two approaches embedded across the software development life-cycle provides security professionals the most comprehensive application coverage.

Join us for a one-hour Web seminar where members of our security research team will discuss these techniques, highlight how their approaches to vulnerability detection compliment one another and share best practices for embedding application security testing across the software development lifecycle.

Webcast: Malware: it's everywhere
