Protecting Telemetry Data from Compromise Learning from the Mistakes of the Breached!

Abstract

Information has value and as such any network based computer (whether that network touches the Internet or not) has the potential to be hacked. Telemetry data is not immune to the threat. While there are a myriad of security sensor and analytics tools available for entities to deploy in order to protect their IT networks and assets on those networks, sometimes overlooked is also the wealth of research data available regarding the etiology of breaches that reveal fascinating, sometimes counterintuitive insights in the best ways to configure and integrate security applications to protect the organization. After reviewing the latest research data regarding computer and IT network compromise, security strategies implied in the research data appropriate to the security challenges encountered in the telemetry post processing environment will be thoroughly examined providing tangible methodologies that may be employed to better protect organization telemetry post processing and IT infrastructures.
