Despite billions spent annually on traditional perimeter and endpoint-based security defenses, advanced threat actors cause enterprises and government agencies to make headlines every day – for all the wrong reasons. This eGuide explores recent innovations in perimeter and host-based advanced threat protection technology, combined with new network forensics capabilities, are finally giving enterprise IT security ...

Security alerts come in by the thousands every month, and you and your IT team are tasked with handling each one. Even when alerts are caught and categorized correctly, the sheer volume is overwhelming. And when they’re not responded to quickly, the consequences can be disastrous. This Infographic report illustrates the statistics from the origin ...

FireEye is currently tracking a group that targets the email accounts of individuals privy to the most confidential information of more than 100 companies. The group, which we call FIN4, appears to have a deep familiarity with business deals and corporate communications, and their effects on financial markets. This report explores the various tactics used ...

Attackers are bypassing conventional security deployments almost at will, breaching systems in a wide swath of industries and geographies. In May 2014, FireEye and Mandiant, a FireEye company, published “Cybersecurity’s Maginot Line: A Real-World Assessment of the Defense-in-Depth Model.” The first-of-its-kind study examined data from more than 1,200 security deployments in 63 countries across more ...

It doesn’t matter what types of firewall, intrusion prevention system (IPS), Web gateway, sandbox and endpoint systems make up organizations’ Maginot Line; attackers are circumventing them all. As this report explains, to protect themselves effectively, organizations need to evolve their security architecture so they do not rely on malware signatures alone. Security teams must be ...

Users cannot keep up. They cannot tell which alerts are important. Urgent warnings get lost in the noise. When valid warnings do appear, security teams don’t know what to do with them. For truly effective protection, security leaders must focus on the ability to detect true threats, quality of alerts rather than the quantity. This ...

The data contained in this report comes from the FireEye® Dynamic Threat Intelligence™ (DTI) cloud, which provides attack metrics shared by FireEye customers across the globe. It offers strong evidence that malware infections occur within enterprises at an alarming rate. It also shows that advanced attackers can penetrate legacy defences such as firewalls and anti-virus ...

Cyber threat actors are expanding the uses of computer network exploitation to fulfil an array of objectives, from the economic to the political. Private organizations have increasingly become collateral damage in political conflicts. With no diplomatic solution in sight, the ability to detect and respond to attacks has never been more important. Subscribe to the ...

Aware that their backward-facing defenses fall short, several IT security vendors are touting their sandbox products. But rather than adopting a truly fresh approach, most are merely grafting a sandbox onto their legacy strategies, which routinely fail to catch these attacks. While sandboxing advances the signature-based approach of the past, these new attempts fail due ...

In today’s cyber threat landscape, identifying your enemy is a crucial piece of any defense plan. Finding out who your attackers are, how they work, and what they want is critical to protecting your data and intellectual property. Fortunately, breached computer systems, like any crime scene, contain a trail of clues. Drawing from a sample ...
