2017-03-01 08:28:00 | IDG Contributor Network: To improve information security, enterprises and government must share information (lien direct) | Information security is forever weaved into our daily lives. From the massive data breaches impacting Target, Yahoo and Anthem to IoT-powered DDoS attacks that take down substantial portions of the internet for extended periods of time, information security impacts everyone.The reality is providing protection in this kind of environment is so challenging that no single entity, whether it's a company or a government agency, can accomplish this task alone.

2016-12-26 04:51:00 | Corporate boards aren\'t prepared for cyberattacks (lien direct) | Major cyberattacks against organizations of all sizes seem to happen almost weekly.
