e-Espionage: How Real is the Threat?

Last year ASIO revealed that corporate networks were just as likely to be targets as government, and Defence Minister John Faulkner confirmed that less than 10% of attacks in 2009 were related to defence.

e-Espionage is a rapidly growing business run by ‘superbly capable teams of hackers’ so how real is the threat? Is it media hype or could it happen to you?

This fully-referenced, new format Short White Paper updates our 2010 analysis and examines:

• What kinds of organisations are most at risk
• What kinds of data breaches are the most common
• What techniques are used to penetrate your IT security defences
• Why it’s often 3rd parties who alert to e-espionage after the event
• The growing threat of insider espionage, fraud or data breach, and means to prevent it.

Key terms and topics addressed:

• Advanced Persistent Threat (APT), customised malware, targeted Trojans
• Cyber security, data security, social engineering, zero day attacks
• State-sponsored e-espionage, theft, fraud, IP protection
• Insider threats, IT asset protection, data breach protection, data loss prevention (DLP)
• Behaviour Anomaly Detection, behavioural based analysis, baseline of normal activity
• Stuxnet, SCADA networks, protection of critical infrastructure resilience.
