Cyber Attacks Inflict Unprecedented Damage; Enterprises Still Lack Intelligence - As Threats Become Increasingly Severe And Complex, NSFOCUS Urges Enterprises To Adopt An Intelligent Hybrid Security Strategy

Date 13/09/2016

Cyber attacks aren’t slowing down – in fact, 76 percent of organisations have experienced a breach within the last two years. Enterprises of all sizes, across every industry, are challenged to respond to increasingly complex and severe attacks – often only learning about the size, severity, and type of incident they’re dealing with as their security teams work to stop them. However, many organisations continue to maintain a reactive approach – implementing stand-alone point solutions that only fragment and silo security efforts. NSFOCUS, a global network and application security provider, recommends an intelligent hybrid security approach based on harnessing true global threat intelligence across an organisation’s cyber defences (hybrid cloud and on-premises), and turning that insight into action – to proactively and holistically protect assets across the organisation.

US Treasury Secretary Lew Op-Ed: Europe’s Bite Out Of Apple Shows The Need For U.S. Tax Reform

Date 13/09/2016

In an op-ed to be published in the Tuesday print edition of the Wall Street Journal, Treasury Secretary Jacob J. Lew writes about how the European Commission’s State aid investigations may present a new opportunity for Congress to act on business tax reform and infrastructure investment. In the piece, published online today, Secretary Lew writes about the widespread agreement that our tax code needs to be fixed and the urgent need to invest in our infrastructure to foster America’s future economic growth. He notes that the President's framework for business tax reform, first released in 2012, would create an environment in which business conditions drive decision-making. He expresses his hope that the high level of attention following the Commission’s actions will help to lay the foundation for the new Congress to take action in the early days of a new Administration.
