This book Advanced Persistent Threats: How to Manage the Risk to Your Business advises that traditional defenses such as firewalls and anti-malware are not up to the challenge of today’s APTs and that organizations need to add new skills, processes and technology to their Cybersecurity arsenal.
With the recent targeted cyber-attacks on defense agencies and Internet blackout, advanced persistent threats are indications of Indian entities increasingly becoming targets of such targeted attacks, often leaving them gasping for solutions. This new publication from ISACA provides valuable insights and well researched guidance on managing risks from advanced persistent threats" said Vittal Raj, International Vice President of ISACA.
An ISACA Cybersecurity survey of more than 1,500 security professionals worldwide found that 94 percent of respondents believe that APTs represent a credible threat to national security and economic stability. One in five enterprises has already experienced an APT attack, but more than half of respondents don’t believe that APTs differ from traditional threats.
The book communicates two important messages: combating APTs is not business as usual, and APTs should be everyone’s business. It is written in clear, nontechnical language to reach business managers and government officials responsible for valuable intellectual assets or critical services that might be targeted by an APT attack. It also details the differences between the controls needed to counter an advanced persistent threat and those used to mitigate everyday information security risk.
