Rooting Out Sophisticated Malware
As malware gets increasingly sophisticated, so, too, must the technology and strategies we use to detect and eradicate it (or, better yet, stop it before it ever makes it onto network systems). There is no one product or product category that can do the job alone. Instead, security professionals must become familiar with--and adept at using--a combination of technologies. Security pros must also become skilled at connecting the dots among sometimes innocuous-seeming events to root out trouble. In this report, we examine the tools, technologies and strategies that can ease some of the burden.

How Did They Get In? A Guide to Tracking Down The Source of an APT
If you think that your organization hasn't been affected by an advanced persistent threat, you probably haven't looked hard enough. Identifying that your organization is under attack is difficult enough; determining the scope of infiltration and damage presents a whole new level of challenge. To effectively protect against APTs, security pros will need to employ an arsenal of tools in a coordinated fashion, as well as develop new understandings of and approaches to system and data exploits. Here's a short and simple guide to this challenge.

Detecting and Defending Against Advanced Persistent Threats
APTs are a growing problem for enterprises big and small. Protecting your organization from these targeted threats requires constant vigilance, ongoing employee training and a concerted effort to align security systems to address every phase of an APT. Companies also need to develop a remediation and response plan if, despite best efforts, defenses are breached.
