ISSA International is pleased to announce the launch of a major revision to the ISSA.org website. If you haven't taken the opportunity to update your membership record and view past journal issues, we invite you to do so.

ISSA - Microsoft Survey Now Online!

ISSA has over 10,000 global members who represent a critical mass of the security industry. We bring collective knowledge and influence that will shape the future of the security industry. For us to continue to add membership value and provide the influence that is needed in the industry, we need your thoughts and feedback.

In the coming months, we will roll out several surveys to help us understand what additional training and benefits you want to see from your ISSA membership. After each survey, we will post our findings and share with you our action plan for the future of ISSA. This is your opportunity to help us expand the value of ISSA. In respect to you and your time, we will make these surveys no more than 10 easy questions that should not take you longer than a couple of minutes to answer. Each survey will have several fun giveaways for those who participate.

Additionally, we will send out surveys from our top sponsors so they can better understand your security needs from them. Our first survey will come from Microsoft. With your participation, you will have the opportunity to win a Xbox 360 and a Zune.

ISSA's Latest Webcast: Visualization Tools for Insider Threat Management

Sponsored By: Oakley Networks.

Now Available: Click Here to Attend

Risk managers and security professionals need to monitor a wide range and potentially threatening behaviors to identify risk-prone situations and malicious acts which might put an organization's shareholder values at risk. To manage this risk they need the means to visualize behavior and respond with appropriate policies or practices that address the threat.

Data leakage caused by careless or malicious insider acts is a growing and costly problem. To achieve behavior visibility that might indicate a data leakage situation, organizations need to analyze both network traffic and user actions at the endpoint. Organizations planning insider threats and data leakage initiatives should ask a few key questions about the solutions they may be evaluating, such as:

  • If an incident occurs, can you tell what the user is doing immediately before and after the actual incident for context?
  • Can you easily search for all of that user's other activities and easily analyze them for related behaviors or trends?
  • Can you detect users "covering their tracks" – such as changing a file name or type, or cutting and pasting data?
  • Can you detect "multi-vector" behaviors, such as screen-capturing from a custom application, dropping the result into a Word file, and sending over IM?
  • Can you view encrypted transmissions before they are encrypted?
  • Can you view incidents in a replay manner that easily differentiates legitimate activity from malicious activity?

This presentation will introduce new technologies which provide a video-like replay of suspected incidents. Through this recording, investigators gain insights and actionable information for remediation. Join this webcast, and understand how this technology works and will help you to address the insider threats that lead to data leakage in your organization.
