Hardly a day goes by without news of another data breach. It's safe to say that we live and work in risky times. But there's a growing recognition that cybercriminals aren't the only threat—or even the primary threat to an enterprise. \"There's a far greater need to educate and train employees about security issues and put controls and monitoring in place to increase the odds of compliance,\" says John Hunt, a principal in information security at consulting firm PwC.
\n\n
It's a task that's easier said than done, particularly in an era of BYOD, consumer technology and personal clouds. According to Jonathan Gossels, president and CEO of security firm SystemsExperts, it's critical to construct policies and security protections around two basic areas: malicious insiders and those who inadvertently breach security. \"The best security program in the world can be undermined by ill-advised behavior,\" Gossels explains.
\n\n
Construct effective policies. Surveys indicate that many workers are not adhering to existing policies. In some cases, they simply disregard them. \"The thing that you have to keep in mind,\" notes Hunt, \"is that policies must be clear, understandable and not interfere with the ability of people to get their work done.\" If an organization is struggling with non-compliance and shadow IT, then it may be time to reexamine policies, as well as the underlying systems and tools the enterprise has in place. \"Many organizations have older policies that don't take into account today's tech tools, such as iPads and other portable devices,\" says Hunt. The policies should also extend to contract workers and freelancers, he notes.
\n\n
Educate and train employees. One of the biggest problems, says Gossels, is weak passwords and workers sharing passwords. He recommends educating employees about the use of strong passwords. It's also essential to teach employees about increasingly sophisticated phishing techniques. And executives, including CEOs, make the mistake of clicking bad links. \"When you receive an e-mail from the Better Business Bureau or a fax that looks legitimate, it's very easy in the rush of the moment to click it,\" says Gossels. It's critical that employees learn to hover over links. Some organizations also use simulated phishing and spear phishing attacks to identify careless workers. Finally, employees must understand the risks of using personal clouds, USB drives, and other media to share and store sensitive data.
\n\n
Develop controls that match policies. It's one thing to introduce a collection of security policies, it's another to build controls that effectively enforce them. According to Gossels, any time an organization introduces a policy, it should also consider how to build in technical controls, preferably automated ones. \"The less you leave things to humans and chance, the better off you will be,\" he says. That means using mobile device management and media asset management tools, two-step verification, encryption, endpoint security, and other security measures. It also means looking for so-called low and slow approaches that frequently fly below the radar. But, more than anything else, it means mapping threats to policies and security systems—and ensuring that tools are in place to wipe lost or stolen smartphones and tablets, when necessary. Hunt adds that it's crucial to consider, when adopting policies, how long it will take to build the matching controls. He sees often companies lagging by nine to 12 months—or more.
\n\n
\n
Monitor activity and access from all endpoints. There's a growing focus on monitoring the network and endpoints for unusual activity and odd behavior, Hunt explains. \"If you detect activity that doesn't fit the norm of a person's role, then it's a good idea to take a closer look at the situation,\" he points out. In fact, even if an organization embeds role-based policies and controls in its IT systems—something that's generally viewed as a best practice—it's wise to monitor activity and look for anomalies. Networks and systems are particularly vulnerable during mergers and acquisitions and during transitions to different or new systems.

A June 2013 Gallup poll indicates nearly 4 out of 5 Americans among younger generations from age 21-64 cannot trust the major news networks, not when the likes of NBC and MSNBC are owned by General Electric, Comcast and possibly Time Warner in this age of super-mergers. Both the circulation and very survival of America’s news print organizations have shriveled or dried up completely.
\n\n
Amongst the nation’s largest cities, few traditional newspapers are still left today. Even the perennial powerhouse dailies like the New York Times, Washington Post and LA Times have gravely suffered, and in an attempt to keep up with the changing times, years ago moved to the internet as their mainstay means of surviving the computer age. Time Magazine and Newsweek similarly have been forced to downsize with Newsweek permanently suspending its print circulation. In recent years’ Time Magazine in print has been reduced in size to a mere skimpy little shadow of what it once was.
\n\n
To a significant portion of Americans, all the mainstream news corporations have been rendered state propaganda and disinformation tools for the US government. Indeed their embedded (alias “in-bed”) news reporting has become a cynical joke amongst the populace. Entertainment fluff and filler space have come to obscure and replace real news and real issues that vitally affect the well being, safety and concerns of the American public. The controlling powers behind mainstream media outlets have made a concerted effort to keep American citizens the last to know especially when it comes to world events and developments.
\n\n
According that that same Gallup poll from last year, this growing distrust that Americans have towards mainstream news is only exceeded by their distrust towards big business, HMO’s and US Congress. Even last month’s Gallup poll shows President Obama’s approval rating dipping to an all time low of just 39% with the majority of Americans now disapproving of his job performance. This negative, across-the-boards view reflects both a generalized discontent and disconnect with today’s status quo power structure. And as a result, a mass exodus of US citizens have switched viewing their world through the known distorted lens of traditional news coverage to that of the world wide web, currently celebrating its quarter century anniversary this week.
\n\n
Hence, in recent years a growing number of people have been turning to online sources as their primary means for news information and current world events. Despite unlimited numbers to choose from of websites portending to depict accurate coverage of domestic and international events, in today’s world the notion of objective, unbiased news coverage becomes highly suspect. Thus, an informed public must be extremely discerning when it comes to believing what is the truth and what are the lies based on propagandist manipulation. Ultimately individuals will naturally gravitate toward whatever sources of news best fit their particular biases and beliefs based on their world paradigm. So one’s sense of reality and truth about the world becomes both highly elusive and subjective, if not impossible to tease out and grasp.
\n\n
To compound this already perplexing, complex problem, the systematic dumbing-down of America has produced a mounting population that all too frequently gullibly accepts either the spoon-fed deception and lies of mainstream media or often equally biased non-mainstream news outlets. For decades now Americans have been conditioned to no longer think critically and discriminately to sort out facts from fiction.
\n\n
Creative questioning, exploring curiosity or daring to challenge authority is entirely absent from the current US public education system bent on homogenized conformity and socialization toward robotic compliance. And as a consequence, too many Americans blindly accept as gospel truth anything they read, that is if they still read at all, naively assuming it would not be fit to print on the internet, in books, magazines or newspapers or seen on TV, if it were not all true.

\n\n
The modern enterprise presents numerous challenges to IT security leaders, as it requires a diverse array of applications, websites, protocols, and platforms. Mobile devices are changing the fundamental composition of network traffic and introducing new types of malware, while consumerization trends such as BYOD are introducing new devices over which IT has little control.
\n\n
To organize the chaos, IT must look beyond a network packet’s site, port, or IP address and determine a security posture that relies on the complete context of data usage. A deep, thorough inspection of real-time network data can help provide the content awareness required for the granular management that a flexible, modern enterprise requires.
\n\n
This report examines the shortcomings of traditional security and management processes exposed by device proliferation, an increasingly mobile workforce, and a movement toward cloud applications. It also demonstrates how a deeper understanding of application data in transit can help IT build more-flexible, business-friendly management procedures that continue to provide security and efficiency without disrupting productivity. The report concludes with best practices for testing application-aware network-security devices to gain a greater understanding of the value they will provide when deployed onto the enterprise network.
\n\n
Consider the following:
\n\n
· Traditional security and access controls are no longer capable of protecting enterprise networks yet continue to serve a purpose within a defense-in-depth strategy.
\n\n
· BYOD and other consumerization trends bring new threats to the enterprise that must be addressed by innovating network-security and policy management.
\n\n
· IT security leaders must validate and test these new application-aware network-security devices and identity-based policy-management systems.

In the report Networked Medical Devices: Innovations & Business Models, analysts attribute multiple factors in driving this market, including an aging population and reforms spearheaded by the Affordable Care Act (ACA).\n\n\"The addressable market for networked medical devices includes 68 million Americans with hypertension and 26 million with diabetes,\" said Harry Wang, Director, Health & Mobile Product Research, Parks Associates. \"Consumers are also demanding more autonomy in managing their care, which will drive the market in 2014 to improve patients' self-care experience. Network connectivity will enable new business models built on health software and services instead of hardware and consumable sales.\"\n \n\nParks Associates reports networked medical devices, including weight scales, glucometers, and ECGs, will use a variety of networking protocols, such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and ANT+, to enable patient self-care and point-of-care diagnosis.The networking functions on these medical devices create the need to aggregate sensor, test, and behavioral data, so solutions such as Qualcomm Life’s 2Net platform, which aggregates device data and can transmit to the cloud, will become more important in 2014.\n\n\"The health data gateway market will garner substantial interest from both device makers and care providers,” Wang said. “Health data will be a hot commodity in this ACA era. Device makers and health data gateway providers, both incumbents and start-ups, will leverage these data to build new revenue opportunities and create new business partnerships.\"\n\nParks Associates analysts noted Alere’s acquisition of MedApps adds a cloud-based solution to the company's offerings. Omron Healthcare’s Bluetooth blood-pressure monitor is competing with smartphone-based WiThings’ solution, and Insulet’s OmniPod Insulin Pump will face challenges from San Diego-based Tandem Diabetes Care and U.K.-based CellNovo.
