The Rise of Nation State Attacks

By Ponemon Institute

The Rise of Nation State Attacks
Sponsored by CounterTack and conducted by Ponemon Institute
"Ponemon Institute surveyed 639 U.S. IT and IT security practitioners who are familiar with their organization's ability to defend against cybersecurity attacks and have some level of responsibility in directing cybersecurity activities. Despite the experience and knowledge these respondents have, only 12 percent of respondents rate their ability to recognize a nation state attack as high (7+ on a scale of 1 = low ability to 10 = high ability). If nation state attacks cannot be identified and differentiated from other cyber attacks, how can enterprises know how to deal with the threats?"
About this Book
This book reveals organizations' lack of readiness to respond to nation state attacks due to an uncertainty as to what a nation state attack is and how to identify the key characteristics, methods and motives of these attacks that originate with foreign governments. The lack of such an understanding increases the difficulty in developing a strategy to address nation state attacks on enterprise organizations or federal government agencies.
