Threats in the Age of WikiLeaks

HBGary has released its threat report ‘Threats in the age of WikiLeaks’ – CSO's will want to read this report. Cyber-threats are evolving fast but we must stay ahead if we are to secure our information systems and our brands. With leak platforms (WikiLeaks, AnonLeaks, CrowdLeaks, InfoLeaks, People’s Liberation Front) comes the increased risk of insider threats and acts of information terrorism. Unlike traditional APT which damages over years, leak platforms represent immediate damage to stock value, profitability, and brand. Acts of cyber terrorism can disrupt systems and business continuity. To date, the severity of this threat has been underplayed in the press – this report exposes the true and dangerous nature of the threat. The report provides immediate and actionable data to help you detect potential insider threats and attacks. This report is restricted release to qualified executives, government, and law enforcement only. Available from hbgary.com
