Defending Against Advanced Persistent Threats

Posted December 05, 2011 8:43 AM

Preventing future cyber attacks is a definitive challenge because it appears companies don't know when their systems have been compromised nor do they want to publicize it.

What measures do you think should be undertaken to limit attacks?

The preceding article is a "sneak peek" from Defense & Security Technology, a newsletter from GlobalSpec. To stay up-to-date and informed on industry trends, products, and technologies, subscribe to Defense & Security Technology today.
