We never disconnect from social media. Not only do we count on these channels to communicate with friends and interesting people, but we also rely on them to reach customers, collaborate with co-workers, and generate new revenue streams. Thus, blocking access to sites such as Facebook and Twitter is quickly becoming taboo.
But given the sheer amount of and ease by which personal information can be shared on these sites present a major enterprise risk. SC Magazine's newest installment of our special "Spotlight" editions will help you, the security professional, hone in on the insider and external threats presented by social networking so you can protect your organization's crown jewels: its data. We hope you enjoy.

In this special Spotlight edition, we're taking on the mobile security challenge. It is one problem that most of our readers bring up to us time and again. To safeguard mobile devices used by business executives, the data stored on them and the connectivity to corporate networks they enable is a constant trial - one that is infrequently satisfactorily remedied. This is leaving many security pros comparing themselves to Sisyphus rolling a giant boulder up a steep hill over and over. The difference: mobile security troubles only grow heavier. Not only are smartphones, tablets and other devices now ubiquitous, they're often brought from home.
So, just how are companies supposed to secure these things - some private, some corporate-issued? How can such a heterogeneous environment be centrally managed and safeguarded? What about all those applications end-users keep downloading? What about the data they want to download on them? Any legal ramifications? How does the company stay compliant? The questions never end, so we thought it'd be helpful to slow down for a moment to thoroughly examine these more confounding mobile security concerns in this "Spotlight" edition. After you flip through its pages, let us know if you found what you needed. Text us or something...

The third "Spotlight" edition of SC Magazine provides an in-depth analysis on securing data in the cloud and the effect this is having on enterprise security. There's no doubt that cloud services offer reduced cost, scalability, flexibility, mobility and more. However, the lower total cost of ownership the cloud offers is quickly negated when critical business data is exposed or stolen because data there proved easy pickings to persistent cybercriminals.
This "Spotlight" edition offers a look at cloud concerns faced in the enterprise today - gathering intelligence from experts in the field, the latest reports and thorough investigation.
