In our increasingly mobile society, organizations, their employees, partners and customers are at greater than ever risk of identity theft and fraud. How prepared are organizations to mitigate these risks? This survey helps establish the new benchmark.
The survey has closed. Today's sophisticated attackers use ever-stealthier malware and zero-day exploits to evade traditional security defenses, making organizations increasingly vulnerable to advanced persistent threats. This survey helps determine the current APT landscape, and where traditional security solutions...
The 2014 Faces of Fraud survey is now closed. This survey helps us benchmark how organizations affected by today's financial security risks will address fraud and cyberthreats in 2014.
How equipped are organizations to detect and defend against advanced cyber attacks? Take the Next-Gen Protection: The 2013 Bit9 Cybersecurity Study and help us find out.
