Application Security, Inc. Hosts Insider Threat Web Seminar Amid Increasing Risks within the Enterprise

Business Wire, June 25, 2007

NEW YORK -- Amidst mounting risk for data compromise by those knowledgeable of an organization's database assets, Application Security, Inc. offers a best-practices web seminar, its third in the Company's educational series, on curbing the insider threat at the database level. According to estimates by Forrester Research, 70% of all database breaches are internal.1 As such, mitigating the potential risks of compromised data is now more than ever a critical component of securing enterprise data.

During this informative session, attendees will learn how to:

-- Recognize the most common insider threat attack scenarios and how
   to prevent them
-- Utilize robust database access controls and policies to deter or
   prevent unauthorized data access
-- Implement best practices for database auditing, including:
             -- Access and authentication auditing
             -- User and activity monitoring to identify suspicious
                behavior
             -- Change auditing
-- Create tamper-evident monitoring systems and audit trails

Insider threats exist in many forms, and can be perpetuated by trusted insiders including employees, consultants, contractors, customers and suppliers. As a result, it is essential for organizations to actively monitor users, but even more importantly, to monitor privileged activity. Monitoring privileged activity is crucial because insiders can cloak their identity, but the critical data remains the object of their actions and does not change. Implementing state-of-the-art vulnerability assessment tools, as well as developing organizational policies, processes and procedures that are focused on database security will help organizations mitigate the risks associated with insider threats.

PRESENTERS:

Noel Yuhanna, Principal Analyst, Forrester Research

Ted Julian, Vice President of Strategy, Application Security, Inc.
