BeyondTrust have just released the results of its Virtual Insecurity survey, revealing that organisations are relying heavily on virtualization vendors for security if for any security at all. 
Key takeaways from the survey included:
In the process of launching SecureSphere 10.0, Imperva also unveiled ThreatRadar Community Defense. An interesting concept, it utilises crowd-sourced threat information that gathers live attack data from WAFs deployed around the world and distributes this data in near real-time.
The Community Defense system is combined with the existing ThreadRadar service to provide a better insight into attacker identity. It allows for a more complete protection against hackers, automated clients and zero-day attacks.
Splunk Enterprise is the platform for machine data. It's the easy, fast and resilient way to collect, analyze and secure the massive streams of machine data generated by IT systems and technology infrastructure.
Troubleshoot problems and investigate security incidents in minutes (not hours or days). Monitor your end-to-end infrastructure to avoid service degradation or outages. Gain real-time visibility and critical insights into customer experience, transactions and behavior. Make your data accessible, usable and valuable to everyone.
For many organisations SharePoint has become the tool of choice for content management because it enhances internal collaboration and can be accessed from any location. And in today's landscape of mobile communication, that's a great advantage. The downside is that this flexible approach to remote access, in conjunction with unique SharePoint security threats, can expose applications and data to attack.
As with any Web application, organisations should consider the security risks before deploying SharePoint. SharePoint applications often contain sensitive and confidential data. With valuable information at risk, SharePoint becomes both a top security concern for businesses and an attractive target for hackers.
