Combating “Smash and Grab” Hacking with Tripwire Cybercrime Controls

Advanced Persistent Threats – APTs –grab our attention with their long-term planning, layered strategy, and—unfortunately—their often staggering haul of confidential data. Yet research from sources like the Verizon Data Breach Report highlight an important fact: most recent breaches required little hacking expertise to succeed. In fact, many successful attacks are fairly predictable, using the same attack vectors as always—services running that shouldn’t be, ports open that shouldn’t be, administrative passwords set to vendor-supplied defaults and other familiar weaknesses. At the same time, many IT security teams are overworked and understaffed and unable to develop the complex detection rules or custom configuration assessment policies that thwart these attacks. With this reality in mind, Tripwire has developed an easily-implemented security content package that combines content for multiple controls – rules for Tripwire Enterprise’s change detection system and handpicked tests for Tripwire Enterprise’s configuration assessment capabilities – to immediately shore up your infrastructure and provide out-of-the-box detection of common attacks .

In this webcast, Michael Thelander, Product Marketing Director for Tripwire Enterprise, and Jim Wachhaus, Senior Corporate Systems Engineer, discuss:

• Current attack and data breach trends
• The profile of today's typical attacker and their methods
• The "time and experience" gap that prevents deployment of custom security content
• How Tripwire Cybercrime Controls establish a foundational level of security to protect against a huge percentage of today's attacks
• An example of how Cybercrime Controls deliver that protection

So register, then learn how Tripwire Cybercrime Controls can help you secure your organization in the face of today's most common attacks.
