In an continuing effort to provide deeper, actionable threat intelligence on new attacks as well as the behavior, intent, origin – and operators – of today’s sophisticated online attacks by both nation-states and cybercriminals, HBGary, Inc. announced HBGary Responder Professional 2.0, an intuitive Windows physical memory and automated malware analysis platform that easily, quickly and cost-effectively analyzes all programs in memory including malware to obtain the threat intelligence needed to mitigate risk.

As the sophistication of malware continues to increase, coupled with the expansion of Web 2.0 technologies and increased browser-based risk, malicious code is on the rise. More than 21 million unique instances of malware have been identified, and that number continues to grow exponentially. To combat this, organizations need a comprehensive endpoint protection strategy that employs multiple techniques to identify and block both known and unknown malware and zero-day exploits.

For the past eight years, government agencies have struggled to comply with the requirements of the Federal Information Security Management Act of 2002 (FISMA).

These handy devices allow workers to efficiently accomplish their duties and carry out their tasks for the public good. But left unchecked, the use of portable devices can also potentially infect public systems with malware, inadvertently expose classified information and/or citizens’ personally identifiable
information (PII), and otherwise breach the public’s trust.

Our lives are becoming more flexible and mobile, so are our work lives. But while business mobility initiatives enhance productivity and flexibility, they have a few drawbacks as well. So how can all of the mobile (and remote) devices that access the corporate network and resources such as Web-based applications be given the same level of attention as the wired world when it comes to connectivity, security, productivity and compliance?

Titus Labs has developed a complete family of classification solutions for Microsoft Outlook email and Microsoft Office documents.

Titus Labs’ classification solutions are interoperable – an important feature that is not available from any other vendor in the market and one that can be used to DoD’s advantage.

The CUI Memorandum standardizes practices around the sharing of CUI with a goal of improving the sharing of information within the executive departments of the Federal Government. The Memorandum specifically adopts, defines, and institutes CUI as the single designation for all information formerly referred to as SBU in the Information Sharing Environment (ISE). To meet the Presidential Directive all departments and agencies must take necessary and appropriate actions to safeguard sensitive but unclassified information related to America's homeland security.

Sharing of information is critical to national and international security. To enable effective and secure information sharing, military organizations have historically relied on classification markings. These markings make it possible to quickly identify information sensitivity and determine proper handling. However, without a tool to enforce classification and automate the application of markings, users apply markings inconsistently and incorrectly. This hinders information sharing, and increases the risk of data spillage and inadvertent disclosure.

Today’s workplace is ever‐diversifying, and information is being accessed from both inside and outside the enterprise from a wide variety of locations and on a wide variety of devices: corporate laptops, corporate home office desktops, home computer, mobile devices, from the coffee shop or the airport departure lounge, etc.
