	Hexadite's Automated Incident Response Solution narrows the gap between detection and response This column is available in a weekly newsletter called IT Best Practices.  Click here to subscribe.  It has become fairly clear that one of the largest data breaches of 2013 occurred, in part, because no one followed up on an automated alert from a breach detection system. Like many other companies, this organization was overwhelmed by incident alerts that come by the hundreds or thousands every day.It can take hours, days and sometimes even weeks to thoroughly investigate and remediate an event that is raised by an alert. Moreover, the skills needed to respond to a security alert are fairly high. Many organizations are in desperate need of a way to respond to at least some of their alerts in an automated way in order to free up their highly skilled people to address the most serious and complex incidents.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More WEBCAST: Cisco Systems Innovations that Protect Against Advanced Attackers This webinar will explore new technologies and process for protecting endpoints from advanced attackers and how innovations like continuous data collection combined with big data analytics are pushing the envelope for what security teams can do during and after an advanced attacker puts them in their sights.

In the workplace, they are typically based on fear and insecurity. However, you can repair them with a little work. Here are three things you do always, sometimes and never do. Always remember that bad behavior comes from fear or insecurity. We’re all worried that other people won’t like us or are out to get us, and we’re all afraid that bad things will unexpectedly come our way. The best human relationships eliminate these two fears. A good coworker is someone who you know will not purposefully do things that damage you and will act in ways that you can predict. We call this “trust” in our personal lives. So build trust by showing that you won’t purposefully hurt others, even when you feel bumped or bruised. Make sure your actions appear understandable and predictable.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More Architectural Firm Puts Giant Data Files in the Cloud Perkins and Will, like many other global architectural firms, is struggling to manage ever-growing volumes of information.
