Protecting Against Cyber Espionage
Ovum, Feb 2011, Pages: 18
Introduction
Cyber espionage has hit the headlines alongside its sibling, cyber war. It is not limited to interstate belligerence. It may result in the loss of valuable information or damage to corporate reputation and brand. The stolen information may cause financial loss (for example, by producing fake copies of market-leading products) or a shift in competitive advantage due to exposing business strategy.
Features and benefits
- Understand the threat and how to react to it. Protect your business from attacks that can undermine your intellectual property.
- Address the range of threats facing businesses with a balanced and proportionate response that covers the full spectrum of concerns.
Highlights
Stolen information can damage the business in many ways - loss of IPR, loss of business plans and customers, competition from fake reproductions, damage to legal status and reputation, or potential breach of legal or regulatory obligations.
Attacks are widespread. 80% of Fortune 500 companies are infected by the Zeus Trojan, 3,000 major US companies were attacked in the same way as the Google email systems in early 2010, and a major infiltration of oil companies has recently been uncovered, running over several years and uncovering their exploration and bidding activities.
Your key questions answered
- How do cyber espionage and cyber war differ, and how do they relate to each other?
- What does a cyber espionage attack look like? How do you defend against it?
- What are the targets of cyber espionage activities, and what are the risks?
