Advanced Persistent Threats Need Advanced Persistent Security Programs

by Lawrence Pingree  |  January 18, 2012  |  Comments Off

The other day, I was thinking that I’d love to change the marketing hype around Advanced Persistent Threats, whats really more relevant for customers is to pay attention to what they MUST do to address targeted attacks and one could call the technique an “Advanced Persistent Security Program”

Advanced = Continuously Improving Controls
Persistent = Continuously Monitoring Controls
Security = Security Controls as they relate to addressing risks and threats
Program = Apply the prior concepts to the overall security program from budget, organizational structure and how we operate security.

More to follow in my research but thought, what would I do to change this marketing mantra :)

If interested, I just published a best practices research note called “Best Practices for Mitigating Advanced Persistent Threats
