Q1 Labs Emphasizes Security Intelligence to Combat Data and Network Breaches

Q1 Labs, the global provider of total security intelligence solutions, today issued guidance for enterprises looking to better protect their networks from threats - both insider and cyber crime - in the wake of the recent report of NASDAQ suffering a network breach.

"NASDAQ Director's Desk breach is the latest high profile example of breaches that are taking place every day," said Tom Turner, senior vice president of marketing and channels at Q1 Labs. "This is a perfect example of industrial cyber espionage, where intruders enter the network inconspicuously to sit and wait for the right time to unleash its wrath on the network, if not known as Advanced Persistent Threats. Companies of all sizes are being attacked repeatedly on a daily basis, and they often lack the visibility and situational awareness to deal with these attacks. We provide the Security Intelligence necessary to detect and alert on anomalous behavior in other words often the harbinger of APTs."

In retrospect, previous high profile attacks just as Stuxnet, the Google breach, Wikileaks, NASDAQ and others are all connected; the key theme is low and slow APTs. These breaches are the driving force for the need for Security Intelligence - the ability to see every action taking place on a network.
