La baisse du nombre de détection d'attaques de programmes malveillants dans les organisations coïncide parfaitement avec les week-ends

SINGAPOUR. - Dimanche 17 Mai 2015 [ME NewsWire]

(BUSINESS WIRE) Une nouvelle étude publiée en début de semaine dans le NTT 2015 Global Threat Intelligence Report annuel montre une forte augmentation des détections des programmes malveillants le lundi matin, lorsque les utilisateurs reconnectent leurs appareils au réseau d'entreprise. Cette tendance plaide en faveur de l'argument selon lequel le périmètre de sécurité des organisations se dissout, du fait que les utilisateurs finaux utilisent de plus en plus leurs appareils à la fois à l'intérieur et à l'extérieur du périmètre de sécurité d'entreprise. En réalité, l'utilisateur aujourd'hui est devenu le nouveau périmètre de l'organisation. En outre, la gestion IT et de la sécurité ne peut plus s'appuyer sur des périmètres de sécurité de réseau bie ... Read more »

Drop in detected malware attacks in organisations coincides perfectly with weekends

SINGAPORE. - Friday, May 15th 2015 [ME NewsWire]

(BUSINESS WIRE)-- New research published earlier this week in the annual NTT 2015 Global Threat Intelligence Report shows a massive increase in malware detections on Monday mornings when users reconnect their devices to the corporate network.

What’s more, IT and security management can no longer count on well-defined network security perimeters to protect their organisations.

The Global Threat Intelligence Report contains analysis of over six billion security events worldwide gathered during 2014 by NTT Group companies including Dimension Data, Solutionar ... Read more »
