HP assists to prop up defenses amidst new era of security risk

NEW DELHI: Outspreading its headship in enterprise security, HP is unveiling novel solutions and services that empower organizations to proactively share threat intelligence and openly collaborate as an industry to combat the growing ecosystem of adversaries.

As stated by a recent survey of 234 organizations conducted by the Ponemon Institute, the number of security breaches increased 20 percent and the cost of individual breaches increased 30 percent over last year. These trends specify that cybercriminals from their part are working harder and smarter to be able to gain access to sensitive data and inflict damage on corporate reputations.

Organizations in Asia Pacific and Japan (APJ) that are experiencing cyber-crimes caused by malicious insiders, followed by denial of service and web-based attacks that they are unable to stop due to outdated or insufficient threat intelligence, enterprises need to strengthen their security posture in order to defend themselves.

“Advanced attack techniques and collaboration in the criminal market place is fuelling an increased rate of costly security breaches in APJ,” alleged Jyoti Prakash, country director – HP ESP (India & SAARC countries).

Supplementing that – “Crowd-sourced threat intelligence from our vast community of customers, partners and researchers is essential in this battle against cybercrime. By sharing actionable intelligence through our solutions, expertise and best practices, organizations can more effectively address the new threat environment.”
