Given the increased growth of connected devices with the emergence of Internet of Things (IoT), security professionals are challenged with identifying risks related to business critical assets without suppressing innovation. According to a report by IDC, the assessment of IoT devices along with the need to mitigate risks associated with IoT is prompting organizations to gain visibility into network traffic generated by these connected devices. HPE aims to resolve these issues by:

Providing a Framework for Building in Cyber Resiliency

HPE introduces the HPE Cyber Reference Architecture, a comprehensive information security framework designed to help build resiliency into organizations to stop most complex security threats. Comprising 12 domains, 63 sub-domains and over 350 distinct security capabilities, the HPE Cyber Reference Architecture defines solutions to today's most complex cyber security challenges, including cloud, mobility, Machine-to-Machine (M2M) and Internet-of-Things (IoT).

Building Security into the Mobile Landscape

In a recent research study, HPE inferred that many mobile applications collect huge quantities of data from users and do not take the precautionary measures to protect this sensitive information. This led HPE to introduce its HPE Security Fortify on Demand to scan more than 36,000 iOS and Android mobile apps, and reveal the impact of increasing data collection, as well as recommendations for how organizations, mobile application developers and enterprises can better protect their data.

For security of mobile applications HPE introduces HPE SecureData Mobile, an end-to-end data encryption solution designed to protect sensitive information in mobile environments. This offering enables organizations to build data security into their mobile applications and safeguard the data throughout its full lifecycle extending security beyond traditional technologies such as TLS, VPN, and storage encryption. It also leverages HPE Format-Preserving Encryption, a standards-based encryption to make only minimal modifications to existing applications, while providing data security for mobile applications or mobile purchases.

"The traditional bolt-on method of enterprise security, emphasizing network defense and perimeter control, is proving to be insufficient against today's radically changing threat landscape," says Sue Barsamian, senior vice president and general manager, HPE Security Products, Hewlett Packard Enterprise. "Organizations need a risk and resiliency roadmap that goes beyond this traditional focus and builds security into every layer of the IT stack -- from the infrastructure to the apps to the data -- along with comprehensive detection and response capabilities that will drive the next generation of intelligence-driven security operations."

Enhancing Organizational Security with the Power of Big Data Analytics

As digitalization expands, organizations of all sizes are increasingly reliant on digital processes to carry out their operations effectively. Consequently, safeguarding cybersecurity is essential for protecting the digital presence of organizations, which encompasses their data and includes information about every individual connected to them. As hackers become more advanced, organizations need to leverage their data—specifically through big data analytics—to defend against these threats. Data is essentially the driving force for any organization today. From the perspective of preserving cybersecurity, data comes quite handy for all firms. A company can trace its data to see which devices have been used for malpractices, devices that are very vulnerable to attacks, and the ones that have already been attacked. Using data, any organization can keep a tap on its employees to find out any abnormality in their behaviors. Data-based algorithms can detect anomalies in a firm’s complete networking system, identify new threats, and hence equip themselves with stronger filters to combat such potential risks. In essence, data analytics assists a company to measure the security posture of its digital skeleton at every level and then design strategies or develop algorithms to build stronger and much more secure digital networks. Big data analytics is transforming the way an organization maintains cybersecurity and is providing companies with unique, actionable insights to find threats, assess vulnerabilities, mitigate risks, and more importantly, predict them. ...Read more
