These steps help owners and operators avoid costly penalties for non-compliance while also protecting the Critical Cyber Assets that control or affect the reliability of North America's bulk electric power system.

Countless studies and analyst recommendations suggest the value of improving security during the software development life cycle rather than trying to address vulnerabilities in software discovered after widespread adoption and deployment. The justification is clear.For software vendors, costs are incurred both directly and indirectly from security flaws found in their products. Reassigning development resources to create and distribute patches can often cost software vendors millions of dollars, while successful exploits of a single vulnerability have in some cases caused billions of dollars in losses to businesses worldwide. Vendors blamed for vulnerabilities in their product's source code face losses in credibility, brand image, and competitive advantage.

Medium organizations around the globe are increasingly concerned about cyberthreats, and the rising number of incidents shared publicly certainly justifies their worries. In the first half of 2009, for example, McAfee Labs saw almost as much new malware as it did in all of 2008. At the same time, most organizations have frozen or cut their IT security budgets. Threats up, budgets down. This is what we call the "security paradox."

Browsers are the least-protected and therefore easiest medium for transferring malware, which is why protecting your company against web-borne threats should be part of a total security solution. This brief explains the key benefits of implementing a web security solution with McAfee. Read more.

Online casinos generated $22.6 billion in global revenues in 2008, up from $17.6 in 2006. While the online gambling industry grows, so does organized fraud. Cyber criminals are working hard to uncover and sell people's personal information and share techniques on how to defraud online gambling sites. The online gambling industry stands to lose hundreds of millions of dollars annually to fraud exposure if effective anti-fraud strategies aren't put in place.
