We're already seeing the next generation of advanced security threats, so now is the time for organizations to adopt next-gen security defenses. Brian Hazzard of Bit9 explains how.

The advanced persistent threat is top of mind for all organizations. Either they are dealing with it now, or preparing their defenses just in case. Robert Berlin of Fortinet offers security insight.

Organizations generally do a good job focusing on governance, risk and compliance. But breaches add up, and LockPath CEO Chris Caldwell wonders "Where is the 'S' in GRC?" - where is the security?

Access is a two-edged sword. Organizations need to open systems to employees, partners and customers. But they also must keep out threat actors. Douglas Mow of Courion talks about finding a balance.

A continuing initiative at the Department of Defense, which has enormous purchasing power, could influence the security features of commercial mobile devices around the world, says Terry Sherald, who heads the effort.

Over the past decade, many organizations shifted their security focus from regulatory compliance to metrics business intelligence. What's the latest shift? Vivek Shivananda of Rsam explains.

State-sponsored attacks are up significantly, so organizations need to rely on new, stronger controls to ward off advanced threats. John Gordineer of Dell SonicWALL discusses the role of next-generation firewalls.

Who are the threat actors, what are their techniques and when are they apt to attack? This is the type of threat intelligence all organizations need, says Scott Kaine of Cyveillance.

Misconfigured firewalls aren't necessarily a result of technical issues. Often, there are business or staff issues that can be easily addressed to improve security. Jerry Skurla of FireMon explains how.

Data breach notification legislation before Australia's parliament, if enacted, would add new dimensions to its privacy laws, perhaps influencing lawmakers elsewhere, privacy lawyer Françoise Gilbert says.
