Timely analysis of data residing in an organization's information systems is a critical element of IT security, say Haiyan Song and Joe Goldberg of the security firm Splunk.
Today's cybercriminals are perfecting the use of advanced-persistent-threat attacks to pilfer valuable information from precisely targeted victims, says Greg Day of security provider FireEye.
As members of the workforce increasingly rely on mobile devices to access corporate data, secure sharing of files becomes more challenging, says Accellion's Vidhya Ranganathan, who describes an effective strategy.

A behavioral analysis approach to fighting malware can be more effective than a signature-based approach in the current threat environment, contends Webroot's Patrick Kennedy.
Voltage Security's Mark Bower contends data-centric security can help break down barriers to the widespread use of encryption and help protect sensitive information, including credit card numbers.
Individuals resort to lying about themselves to protect their identities when accessing systems in today's imperfect cyber world, says Peter Tapling, president of Authentify, an out-of-band authentication service.
