\"Majority<\/a>Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff was scheduled to visit the White House on October 23.\u00a0 However, in late September, Brazil and the United States agreed to postpone Rousseff\u2019s visit to the U.S.\u00a0President Rousseff was livid after leaked documents claimed the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) spied on Rousseff\u2019s mobile phone and e-mail communications.\u00a0 The report also indicated that the NSA spied on several of Rousseff\u2019s aids and Brazilian energy conglomerate Petrobras.\u00a0 In the aftermath of the NSA scandal, Brazil and Germany began drafting a United Nations resolution on security protocol in electronic communication.<\/p>\n

The strained relationship between the U.S. and Brazil presents an example of not only international spying but cyber security challenges, as well.\u00a0 ThreatTrack Security, an advanced cyber security solutions provider, recently published the results of an October 2013 independent survey regarding enterprise security.\u00a0 The survey, which was conducted by Opinion Matters on behalf of ThreatTrack Security, gleaned information from 200 security professionals dealing with malware analysis within the United States.\u00a0 The security professionals said that the United States (37 percent) and China (33 percent) are the countries that are most capable of conducting cyber espionage.<\/p>\n

Although malware analysts have the necessary tools to defend against cyber-attacks, the survey indicates that mounting cyber security challenges exist within the U.S.\u00a0 This salient finding from the ThreatTrack survey was reiterated by former Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano.\u00a0 \u201cOur country will, at some point, face a major cyber-event that will have a serious effect on our lives, our economy, and the everyday functioning of our society,\u201d Napolitano said during her farewell speech in August.<\/p>\n

57 percent of malware analysts reported they have investigated or addressed a data breach that was never disclosed by their organization.\u00a0 The results of the survey suggest that data breaches have reached epidemic levels, even though experts say that data breaches appear to be underreported.\u00a0 \u201cEvery day, malware becomes more sophisticated, and U.S. enterprises are constantly targeted for cyber espionage campaigns from overseas competitors and foreign governments,\u201d says ThreatTrack CEO Julian Waits, Sr.<\/p>\n

According to the survey, 84 percent of respondents say that they have the necessary tools to suitably protect their enterprise from an advanced malware attack.\u00a0 Approximately 38 percent of malware analysts believe that it has become easier to defend their company\u2019s network from cyber-attacks.<\/p>\n

Online practices present challenges for analysts<\/b><\/p>\n

40 percent of respondents indicated that not having enough adequately skilled security staff members is one of the most challenging aspects of ensuring that their company\u2019s network is secure.\u00a0 In fact, a number of malware analysts spend a considerable amount of time removing viruses from devices used by upper-level executives.\u00a0 The survey revealed that a device used by a member of executive management became infected with malware because of:<\/p>\n

1. \u00a0Clicking on a malicious link in a phishing e-mail (56 percent).<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 Allowing a family member to use an enterprise-owned device (45 percent).<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 Visiting a pornographic website (40 percent).<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0 Installing a malicious mobile app (33 percent).<\/p>\n

In a November 11 article about enterprise data breaches, London-based journalist Charlie Osborne writes: \u201cSecurity vulnerabilities and cyberattacks have become critical problems for companies worldwide.\u201d\u00a0 In 2013 alone data security breaches have occurred at Adobe, Evernote, LivingSocial, and even the Federal Reserve.\u00a0 These recent breaches, the ThreatTrack survey, and former DHS Secretary Napolitano\u2019s remarks offer stark reminders that data breaches are real threats with significant consequences.<\/p>\n
