2011-08 Global Threat ReportOne third of the Irish enjoy holiday gloating while another third prefer secret holiday destinations. With the holiday season nearly over we wanted to know, how much of their holiday plans or activities the Irish reveal on social media? This security issue goes beyond announcing that your house will be empty in a certain period and thus inviting burglary. Lately, cybercriminals often contact their target’s social media friends with some sort of financial scam that involves the holiday destination. (This is sometimes refered to as Londoning, though it’s by no means confined to imaginary London, as explained here.) | Download |

We think these numbers reflect the following trends that we observed in 2011, both in Ireland and around the world. | Download |

2012-03 Global Threat ReportDo you let your employees use their own computers for work? How about smartphones, iPads and other tablet devices? If so, you are not alone. The phenomenon of allowing or encouraging employees to use their own devices for work--known as Bring Your Own Device, or BYOD--is now widespread in many countries. On the plus side, you may get more work from people when they can work in more places and at more times of the day (from the breakfast table in the morning to the kitchen table at night and the coffee shop in between). There can be cost savings too: equipment outlays can be reduced if employees use their own devices instead of the company buying them. | Download |
