The latest assessment from the Office of the National Counterintelligence Executive paints a grim picture of the accelerating pace of foreign economic collection and industrial espionage activities against major US corporations and US Government agencies.The report includes a useful list of Best Practices in Data Protection Strategies and Due Diligence for Corporations at Appendix A.
A copy of the report can be downloaded at http://1.usa.gov/sejRZn.
Something to keep in mind while reading the report is that trusted insiders can use any of the more than 1,000 digital steganography applications available as freeware or shareware on web sites across the Internet to ex-filtrate (i.e., steal) intellectual property, trade secrets, and any other sensitive information you can image.
It is equally important to keep in mind the current generation of data loss prevention tools do not detect insiders downloading or using steganography applications.
Backbone Security’s Steganography Analyzer Real-Time Scanner, StegAlyzerRTS, is the only network security appliance in the world capable of detecting insiders downloading or using steganography in real-time.
