Malcovery Security Issues a Special Report on Target Security Breach(PR Web Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Pittsburgh, PA and Birmingham, AL (PRWEB) January 23, 2014 Malcovery®, the leader in delivering actionable intelligence that can be applied to neutralize the threats and actions by cyber criminals in the areas of phishing, spam and malware, released today a ‘Special Report: Lessons Learned From the Target Data Breach,’ a free threat intelligence briefing that analyzes recent reports from key players in the industry to identify the lessons and key takeaways from the recent data breach at Target. Over the past month, details about the breadth of the Target data breach have continued to emerge (Forbes Magazine, 'The Target Data Breach Is Becoming A Nightmare', January 17,2014). In addition to the initial security breach, phishing scams followed, trying to exploit the heightened awareness. This exclusive report by Malcovery is the first analysis of how it happened and what you can do. This report covers: • Case Study on the Heartland Payments data breach of 2007 • An analysis of the files used in the Target data breach • A comprehensive look at "lessons learned" from this attack “The Target Data Breach is an important time for those who are defending large networks to consider how they would detect such a breach in their own enterprise,” stated Gary Warner, author of the report, as well as Chief Technologist and cofounder of Malcovery. "The same techniques have been used successfully in dozens of cases. It's important that we discuss why traditional security solutions are not catching the Indicators of Compromise. That's why we're putting out this Special Report." To receive a copy of this report, please visit http://info.malcovery.com/target-hacker-tools-provide-breach-insight.
