Moving mission critical applications to the cloud provides a whole host of benefits but it also means trusting cloud providers with key aspects of security and compliance.
This paper provides tools you can use to evaluate the security and compliance offerings of cloud computing partners. It also describes how Tripwire’s solutions can be used to build and deploy a rock-solid security foundation...
How do organizations execute an efficient cloud security strategy and find the right cloud security tools? Tripwire asked a range of cloud security experts to share their thoughts on some of the key challenges regarding secure cloud storage and cloud computing security.
Threats to Industrial Control Systems (ICS) are increasing—a reality that ICS-centric industries have begun to recognize. As a response to the growing need for protection from cyberattacks, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center (NCCIC) and the National Security Agency (NSA) have published Seven Steps to Effectively Defend Industrial...
The goal of the Center for Internet Security Controls is to protect critical assets, infrastructure and information by strengthening your organization's defensive posture through continuous, automated protection and monitoring of your IT infrastructure.
The strength of the Controls is that it reflects the combined knowledge of actual attacks and effective defenses from experts in many...
Organizations are increasingly migrating to the cloud to process their IT resources. Gartner predicts that cloud data centers will process 92 percent of workloads by 20201, while Cisco forecasts cloud workloads to increase 3.2x in that span of time2.
Under the Shared Responsibility Model, migrating organizations need to ensure security in the cloud by taking adequate measures to protect their...
Introduction
The world of IT is moving to the cloud for flexibility, on-demand computing resources, and speed just to name a few benefits. Market data varies but estimates of cloud usage show that in the range of 20–25% of overall compute workloads are operating in public cloud environments today, with that expected to grow to 50% over the next 5–10 years. However, most organizations haven’t...
Security leaders charged with reducing their organizations’ cloud attack surfaces have to stay continually up-to-date in a security landscape that changes in the blink of an eye.
This anthology of insights from some of Tripwire’s leading cloud experts will help you understand how to prioritize and tackle your cloud security imperatives. Download your copy now to learn:

The Risk Management Framework (RMF) is an approach to systems security management that adjusts security controls based on risk factors. The practice involves a continuous cycle of identifying new threats, choosing effective controls, measuring their effectiveness and improving system security.
Federal entities need to understand and utilize RMF as...
A successful vulnerability management program requires more than the right technology. It requires dedicated people and mature processes. When done properly, the result can be a continuously improving risk management system for your organization.
This white paper was written by CISSP-certified Tripwire system engineers with extensive experience in implementation of vulnerability management...
A key security challenge is finding and rooting out malware that has already become embedded on key assets. Organizations today have myriad threat intelligence sources to leverage. However, simply getting the intelligence into your organization is not enough.
Unless you have a way to operationalize myriad threat intelligence sources to make it actionable and useful, threat intelligence just...
One key element of an effective information security program within your organization is having a good vulnerability management (VM) program, as it can identify critical risks. Most, if not all, regulatory policies require a VM program, and information security frameworks advise implementing VM as one of first things an organization should do when building their information security program.

Nearly every aspect of modern life depends on industrial control systems (ICS) operating as expected. As ICS devices become increasingly connected, they also become increasingly vulnerable. By and large, commercial and critical infrastructure industrial orgs are underprepared for the digital convergence of their IT and OT environments. ICS operators need to get a robust cybersecurity program in...
