While Big Data promises to open new horizons in all aspects of business and analytics, there is an obvious downside. The more we digitize information and the more information we gather, the more doors we potentially open for hackers.   Many experts agree that organizations will need to automate integration of Big Data.

Mike Lloyd, CTO of RedSeal, likened the cyber fight to a World War II war room with a central map table and people on telephones pulling in information to add to the map.

A state-sponsored attacker is motivated by strategic gain, not financial. They’ll keep after a company, its employees, and its business partners, until they get in. A financially-motivated criminal wants to see the biggest return on their investment, so they’ll go after the least-defended companies first. “There are certainly plenty of targets,” said Steve Hultquist, chief evangelist at Sunnyvale, Cal.-based RedSeal, Inc. “I can just go on to the next one.”

In first nine months of 2014, after 1,922 confirmed incidents, criminals managed to compromise 904 million records.  “Businesses today have a maze of complex dependencies on outside service providers and suppliers. This makes a complex attack surface, and that in turn makes defenses weak. The more complex our infrastructure, the harder it is for defenders to see it all and understand its weaknesses,” commented Dr. Mike Lloyd, CTO at RedSeal.

Cybersecurity experts said they aren’t at all surprised hackers US officials believe work for the Russian government were able to hack into at least unclassified White House computer networks in recent weeks.

“The reconnaissance attack on the White House is a dramatic reminder of a general truth: whenever we look for any kind of attack, we find that yes, indeed, it is happening,” said Dr. Mike Lloyd, CTO at RedSeal, a provider of end-to-end network visibility and analytics to prevent cyber attacks.

Officials acknowledged that hackers breached the White House’s unclassified computer networks in the past few weeks, and a Washington Post report says the Russian government was the likely culprit.

Mike Lloyd, chief technology officer at RedSeal, said modern malware is often designed to do as little as possible in order to avoid detection.

“Adversaries understand the value of good information, of maps and the relationship of assets,” Lloyd said. “Such information can be extracted with a minimum of fuss, unless the person being scanned is very diligent and observant.”
