| Publisher Description: The Rise of Nation State Attacks Sponsored by CounterTack and conducted by Ponemon Institute "Ponemon Institute surveyed 639 U.S. IT and IT security practitioners who are familiar with their organization's ability to defend against cybersecurity attacks and have some level of responsibility in directing cybersecurity activities. Despite the experience and knowledge these respondents have, only 12 percent of respondents rate their ability to recognize a nation state attack as high (7+ on a scale of 1 = low ability to 10 = high ability). If nation state attacks cannot be identified and differentiated from other cyber attacks, how can enterprises know how to deal with the threats?" About this Book This book reveals organizations' lack of readiness to respond to nation state attacks due to an uncertainty as to what a nation state attack is and how to identify the key characteristics, methods and motives of these attacks that originate with foreign governments. The lack of such an understanding increases the difficulty in developing a strategy to address nation state attacks on enterprise organizations or federal government agencies. About the Author Ponemon Institute was founded in 2002 by Dr. Larry Ponemon. Headquartered in Michigan, Ponemon Institute is considered the pre-eminent research center dedicated to privacy, data protection and information security policy. They conduct annual consumer studies on privacy trust that are widely cited in the media. Their research on quantifying the cost of a data breach has also become valuable to organizations looking to understand the business impact of lost or stolen data. |
